Oil Spill Responce

Key features and benefits

• The Komara Star Mk3 will operate as a tooth disc skimmer or a brush skimmer.
• The tooth discs allow the skimmer to recover medium and heavy oil, and the bristles allow collection of lighter oils.
• The skimmer can be converted from disks to brush (and vice versa) in less than 5 minutes.
• The Komara Star Mk3 is constructed entirely from metal, which handles exceptionally viscous and heavy contaminants far better than plastic.
• The positive displacement Vikopump is easily detached and can be used in other pumping duties.
• The Star head and pump can be easily detached making the skimmer lighter and hence easier to handle.
• The skimmer employs patented toothed bank technology to mechanically recover heavy oils.
• The skimmer can operate smoothly even at very low speeds, giving more than 98% oil pick-up, which effectively eliminates the need for costly separation or disposal of dirty water.
• The skimmer will operate even when surrounded by debris such as wood.
• The on-board positive displacement Vikopump enables large volumes of high viscosity contaminants to be recovered and discharged.
• The Vikopump rating is 32m3/hr and the system oil recovery rate is 25m3/hr.
• The diesel powerpack is extremely efficient and incorporates important safety features to ensure that it is safe for operation in oil spill situations.
• The Komara Star Mk3 comes complete with lifting strops for ease of deployment.
