The FORU-70 is the compact version of the FORU-340, specially designed for sensitive shallow parts such as the Wadden Sea in the Netherlands (UNESCO World Heritage) or for use in rivers, lakes, harbours and coastal environments.
Weighing only 75 kg, it is light enough to be carried by two people. Its shape allows it to float freely, becoming one with the waves and therefore able to function in harsh conditions. The toxic liquid is pumped into a storage facility such as a container, barge or bubble.
The FORU-70 is powered by the HPU-18 or the HydroSub 60 hydraulic power pack . The HPU-18 is a versatile hydraulic power pack capable of delivering high performances in all types of oil spill situations. The control panel ensures that the skimmer operates reliably and very efficiently. A remote control is available as an option.
It is thoroughly tested by the Norwegian Coastal Administration test center in Horten in several types of oil and is approved by DNV GL. Working at maximum speed, the FORU-70 extracts up to 70 m3 of oil/water mixture per hour at max. 5 bar.
