Abanaki Corporation, the leading U.S. supplier of oil skimming equipment, announced its first engineering sourcebook for oil skimming applications. Called the “Solutions Sourcebook,” the 28-page handbook offers application notes on more than 25 real-world implementations of oil skimming.

The Abanaki Solutions Sourcebook is indexed both by type of industry and by type of application, enabling readers to quickly find the case studies that are most relevant to their situation. Sections include consulting engineering, machining, manufacturing, utilities, coolant, grease/water separation, groundwater remediation, oil/water separation, and wastewater.

Oil skimming uses the difference in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water to pick up oil, grease and other hydrocarbon liquids as a belt passes through the water.
