Benefits of SpillPro Suction Skimmers
- Easy to deploy
- Operates in shallow water
- Standard rapid fit hose connections
- Can be used with any suction pump or vacuum system
Rapid response time
The light weight construction and compact design of the SpillPro Suction Skimmer means it can easily be handled by a single operator and placed in the ideal position. Because the spill is transferred to a holding tank, the speed of clean up is high and the holding tank can be transferred away from the spill zone for further processing.
Versatile and Efficient
Any suction pump or onsite vacuum system can be connected using standard hoses making it quick and easy to get the suction skimmer working. The ability to operate in waters as shallow as two inches enable the suction skimmer to get to places no other skimmer can reach.
Durable
SpillPro Suction Skimmers are made of moulded polyethylene and anodised aluminium, making them hardy and durable for corrosive environments.

How SpillPro suction skimmers work
When an oil spill occurs, SpillPro suction skimmers are deployed to the spill area. A hose float keeps the suction head floating on the water, while it sucks up the surface layer like a vacuum cleaner.
Standard hoses connect the suction head to a vacuum system or suction pump and then to a collection tank. The flow rate of water and oil removed from the surface is dependent on the rating of the pump or vacuum system.
The spill is transferred to a collection tank on shore.
