Railyard Oil Collection System
THE PROBLEM:
A railyard needed to remove trace oil that accumulated in their wastewater system during fueling, washing and maintenance activities. A below ground separator was designed with a floating tube oil skimmer from Oil Skimmers Inc. to remove any oil that accumulated. The collected oil was then decanted and transferred to a large oil storage tank.

EVALUATION:
Salt Creek Technologies worked with facility personnel and an engineering firm to identify potential opportunities. The first potential solution was a floating tube skimmer. In order to verify that the tube skimmer would adequately remove oil a "tube test" was conducted to ensure the oil would adhere to the tube and be removed at a reasonable rate.
