Floating Oil Response Skimmers

ABASCO Oil Skimmers are engineered to provide fast, efficient, and reliable oil recovery for spill response and industrial cleanup applications. Designed to recover crude, refined, animal, and vegetable oils from the water’s surface, our skimmers utilize advanced oleophilic technology to selectively attract oil while repelling water, maximizing recovery efficiency and minimizing waste.

Built for performance in demanding environments, ABASCO skimmers are durable, easy to deploy, and adaptable to a wide range of operating conditions. Systems can be configured for vessel-mounted, towed, self-propelled, moored, or shoreline applications, making them ideal for emergency response, marine operations, refineries, terminals, ports, and industrial facilities.

Available with diesel-hydraulic, electric-hydraulic, or pneumatic power systems, each skimmer can be paired with offloading and transfer pumps selected to match recovery rates, oil viscosity, and site conditions. Whether responding to a major spill or performing routine maintenance, ABASCO delivers dependable oil recovery solutions designed for maximum performance and long-term reliability.

Case Studies

Project Overview

Construction sediments were contained within designated work zones during seismic and hydraulic upgrades at three reservoirs originally built in 1888. The project included demolition, installation of new tunnel liners, and the refurbishment or replacement of water management infrastructure. Frequent barge traffic was accommodated while maintaining water quality through the use of 9,150 feet of tapered Type 3 HD turbidity curtains.
