The brief

The MCA wishes to purchase three Vacuum Skimmer Systems, complete with power packs, vacuum pumps and discharge pumps.

These systems will be used to recover oil on the shoreline and transfer it into temporary storage.

We would envision that each complete system will comprise of a lance or wand to recover oil, a suction pump and a transfer pump with all of the required hosing and a power pack.

Both the vacuum hose and the discharge hose should be at least 10ft.

The system must also incorporate a vacuum vessel i.e. a hopper, drum or tanker.

The systems will be capable of recovering all oil viscosities, from lighter oils to sludge and small solids.
