Oil
Grabber Model MB
The
Abanaki Model MB Oil Grabber is a dependable and effective means
of removing oil from water and water-base solutions. Often, skimming
by itself will reduce oil to an acceptable
level of water purity. Depending on the characteristics of the liquid,
it is possible for the Model MB alone to reduce oil content to less
than five parts per million in water. The unit can be used as a pretreatment
before filtration, and in conjunction with a coalescing system.
The Model MB utilizes continuous belts and wipers to remove up to 200
gallons of oil per hour from the fluid surface. The belts, operating
on a motor and pulley system, run through contaminated liquid to pick
up oil from the surface. After traveling over the head pulley, the belts
pass through tandem wiper blades where oil is scraped off both sides
of each belt and discharged. The tail pulleys have flanges which allow
them to roll freely on the inside of the belts without becoming dislodged.
These lower pulleys require no bearings and do not need to be fastened
to the tank. If turbulent conditions exist, an optional tether and cage
assembly prevents the tail pulleys from being dislodged.
Oil skimming makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface
tension between oil and water. These physical characteristics allow
the belts to attract oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from the surface
of the fluid. The Model MB can be used in tanks with depths as shallow
as one foot or as deep as 100 feet.
- Designed for jobs that require high
capacity oil removal
- Each belt increases the removal rate
by up to 40 gph
- 2 x 8 skims 80 gph
- 3 x 8 skims 120 gph
- 5 x 8 skims 200 gph
- Utilizes continuous belts and wipers
to remove oil from the fluid surface.

Oil
Boss
A Unique
Method of Oil Removal Abanaki's unique method magnetic drive allows
both sides of the belt to pick up floating oil, doubling the capacity
for a given belt width. Result? A compact unit with faster oil pick-up,
better oil-to-water pick-up ratio, and fewer drive line problems.
Built to Last All stainless steel construction stands up to punishing
use and harsh environments, without special maintenance or protection.
Controls and electrical connections are moisture resistant, and gear
motor is fully enclosed.
Easy Installation Installation and adjustment takes only minutes. Bolt
the base to a flat surface, tank, channel or any of the Abanaki mounting
stands. Connect to the discharge fitting and slip the belt over the
drive pulley. Plug a unit in, take a turn or two on the adjustment nut
to adjust belt tracking, and installation is complete.
Minimal Maintenance Lift-off cover exposes entire mechanism for inspection
and service. Changing or adjusting belt or wiper blades requires no
disassembly, and can be accomplished in minutes. The sealed gear motor
requires no maintenance.
- Skims up to 16 gph
- Completely constructed of Stainless
Steel
- Drive unit is completely covered
- Comes with a pilot light and on/off
selector
- Easily decontaminated

Grease
Grabber
The Abanaki
Grease Grabber is a dependable and effective means of removing
floating grease and oil from water, under the most demanding conditions.
The Grease Grabber makes use of the differences in specific gravity
and surface tension between oil and water. These physical characteristics
allow the skimmer belt to attract grease, oil, and other hydrocarbon
liquids as the belt passes through the surface of the water.
The skimmer belt specifically selected for your application. Texture
pinch rollers pull the belt over the idler pulley and through the angled
wiper blades, where grease is removed before passing through the pinch
rollers. The grease is rolled off into a heated hopper, which maintains
fluidity for easy drainage through a 4" ID discharge port. Belt tension
is maintained by the weight of a free riding tail pulley. The tail pulley
is tethered to the underside of the Grease Grabber to prevent accidental
loss.
- Abanaki's most rugged unit
- Works for both greases and oils
- Grease removal rates up to 160 gph
(606 lph)
- Designed for extremely demanding environments
- Suitable for outdoor drainage pits
in primary metal mills
- Optional boom mast mount with swing
arm for large pits and tanks
- Integral 700W heater keeps skimmed
grease fluid for easy discharge

PetroXtractor
- Well Oil Skimmer
Oil
Skimming for Wells and Other
Small Openings with Large Vertical Drops
NEW! Abanaki's Solar Powered PetroXtractor
The Abanaki PetroXtractor is a dependable and cost effective
means of removing oil, fuel, and other floating hydrocarbons from water
where access to the fluid surface is limited. It provides efficient
remediation of groundwater contaminated by oil, using existing recovery
and monitoring wells. Often, the PetroXtractor working alone will reduce
oil or fuel content to an acceptable E.P.A. level. Models are available
for two inch, four inch, and six inch or larger ID well casings, with
removal rates up to 12 gph. (based on SEA 30 motor oil). Depths of 100
feet or more can be accommodated without the use of pumps.
The PetroXtractor is an oil skimmer that makes use of the differences
in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water. These
physical characteristics allow the unit's continuous belt to attract
floating oil in the well. After picking up the oil, the belt travels
over the head pulley on the drive unit and through tandem wiper blades.
The oil is then scraped off both sides of the belt and discharged through
a 1-1/4" ID hose. The unique bearing-less design of the tail pulley
(immersed in the well water) with its tethered frame allows it to perform
three important functions: it keeps proper tension on the belt, prevents
accidental loss down the well, and keeps the belt centered in the casing.
The PetroXtractor can be installed in existing wells by mounting
it on a flat surface above the well casing. Skimmer operation consists
of merely lowering the belt and tail pulley into the casing until the
pulley is fully immersed, placing the discharge hose in a container,
and switching the unit on.
- Used primarily for groundwater remediation
through monitoring and remediation wells
- Comes in three varieties
- PX-A for 2" diameter wells
(3gph, SAE 30)
- PX-B for 4" diameter wells
(6gph, SAE 30)
- PX-C for 6" diameter wells
(12 gph, SAE 30)
- Works for LNAPL's and some DNAPL's
(coal tar, #6 fuel, etc.)
- Options include: explosion proof setup,
below grade mounting kits, timer, housing
55 gallon drum shutoff switch and air motors

Oil
Concentrator
The Abanaki
Oil Concentrator provides virtually complete oil/water separation
for recycling or disposal of either liquid.
Under most operating conditions, Abanaki skimmers pick up oil with only
small traces of water. However, as surface oil is reduced to a thin
layer (1/16 inch thick or less), more water (or coolant) may be picked
up along with the oil. When used in tandem with an oil skimmer, the
Oil Concentrator solves this problem by providing final phase separation.
The result is water (or coolant) available for recycling, and virtually
water-free oil for disposal.
The Oil Concentrator is non-electrical and contains no moving parts
— it simply receives liquid directly from the skimmer. Based on the
principle of gravity separation, the Oil Concentrator tank comes in
three sizes so that there is adequate dwell time for the oil and water
to separate. Water discharge is through a tube that has an open end
near the bottom of the Concentrator, while oil flow is through a separate
drain port near the top. As additional liquid enters the Concentrator,
water and oil are forced out through their respective disposal tubes.
Installed at the discharge end of the oil skimmer, the Concentrator
comes complete with mounting bracket, removable sludge screen and drain
plug for easy cleaning. An optional thermostatically controlled heater
is available for use with thick oils, or when the application is in
freezing temperatures. (A heater should not be used in environments
where explosive fumes might be present.)
Abanaki recommends the use of the Concentrator with all oil skimmers.
It increases the efficiency of the skimmer and reduces costs associated
with oil disposal.

separation
