Skimmer pump

A shipyard was looking for a skimmer pump for an oil recovery vessel which could meet the increased requirements. Based on the consistently positive experience with Börger products on other vessels, the Börger rotary lobe pump was taken into consideration. The capabilities of the Börger rotary lobe pump when pumping highly viscous oil and sea water mixtures were tested and approved. Further requirements were the temporary suction of air (dry run), the flow rate of foreign bodies (e.g. dead birds), as well as a possible change of the direction of rotation.
