Rope-Mop Skimmer
ABASCO rope-mop oil skimmers are versatile, economical units that use an oleophilic rope mop to collect oil from surface water. The oil is then squeezed out for collection as the rope passes through the skimmer. Rope-mop skimmers offer superior recovery efficiency in medium to fairly viscous oil, unaffected by floating debris, including broken ice. The rope mop can also be used for oil containment in calm waters and light currents. ABASCO Petro Mop rope has a long wear life, even when rubbing on structures or on sandy or rocky beaches.

These are the most compact oil skimmers manufactured by ABASCO. They are engineered for long, maintenance-free operation. It is not recommended that Q-Series skimmers be mounted in an explosive atmosphere.
Heavy-duty, high-capacity, skid-mounted skimmers deliver high recovery rates. Call or email for more information.
Our most widely used boom for moderate to choppy waters. This versatile boom is very popular with oil containment contractors. All Beta versions are good for containing oil, flotsam, and debris.
ABASCO K-Series lightweight oil skimmers provide economical oil recovery in accessible and remote locations. They can be installed on oil storage tanks, permanent platforms, trailers, API separators, or small boats. They can be mounted perpendicular to or parallel with an oil flow.
Oil adheres to Petro Mop polypropylene-rope fibers so that the oil is effectively retrieved upon contact. Once the mop is primed and worn in, contact time decreases even more and capacity increases.
