Safety precaution when working with oil skimmer systems<br />

- Carefully read this manual before connecting or starting the machines. Notice that it may not be possible<br />

to study the manual during operation of the machinery.<br />

- Only connect skimmers and winders with power packs they have been delivered with or which have been<br />

approved on beforehand by Ro-Clean Desmi.<br />

- Do not start combustion engines in closed or badly ventilated rooms or if there is a danger of hazardous<br />

atmospheres. Avoid breathing in of exhaust fumes.<br />

- The machines are not ATEX approved and must not be used in explosive atmospheres.<br />

- Only lift machines in for this purpose made lifting devices such as fork lift channels, lifting eyes or lifting<br />

handles.<br />

- Stop engines and disconnect battery terminals and hydraulic hoses before maintaining the equipment.<br />

- Stop all engines before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic hoses.<br />

- Before starting the machine, make sure that nobody is in the danger area (moving parts on engine or<br />

machinery), that all safety guards are in place and that the operator has a clear view of the working area<br />

including personnel and machines connected to the power pack.<br />

- Never use any spray starting aids.<br />

- Keep all advice and warning stickers in legible condition.<br />

- When stored or in operation on a ship secure all equipment safely to the deck.<br />

- Operators must frequently train in the use of power pack / oil skimmer / Oil containment boom systems in<br />

order to work safely with these systems.<br />

- Observe the hydraulic oil level and temperature frequently during operation.<br />

- Stand in front of the control panel and keep safety distance to the sides of the power pack during<br />

operation. Do not lean against the machine as this may vibrate and the engine, exhaust pipe and fumes<br />

can be very hot.<br />

- Never use power packs with detent control levers for powering boom winders.<br />

- Always use ear protectors when operating power packs or hydraulic motors.<br />

- Use safety gloves, safety shoes, and clothes during operation or maintenance.<br />

- Sucking in of solid particles by air blower should at all times be avoided as these may be ejected from the<br />

discharge flange at high speed and cause injury.<br />

- During operation all personnel must pay attention to the danger of falling due to oily surfaces and hoses<br />

between power packs and connected machinery.<br />

- During deployment of skimmers the personnel must pay attention to the danger of skimmers and hoses<br />

being caught by moving/rotating element such as ships and ship screws.<br />

- Keep a safety distance to skimmers of minimum 1,4 meter.<br />

- The sound pressure level of skimmers in water or oil does not exceed 70 dB(A)<br />

- When operating skimmers on land the safety area must be marked by barrier tape in a height of 1,0 meter<br />

and at least 1,4 meter from the skimmer.<br />

- When testing skimmers on land make sure that these are grounded to avoid sparks from static electricity.<br />

NOTE: Refer to user manuals for ancillary equipment.

1.0 IN GENERAL<br />

The <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> combination skimmer system is the new generation of<br />

<strong>DESMI</strong>’s vertical Archimedes’ screw skimmers.<br />

The <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> combination skimmer is a high capacity light-weight ocean<br />

skimmer which skims 250 m3/h with up to 200 mm automatic weir lip adjustment. It<br />

works efficiently in waves heights up to 3 metres.<br />

The skimmer combination skimmer system consists of a WEIR skimmer, a BRUSH<br />

DRUM skimmer and a DISC skimmer which means that the skimmer is very<br />

efficiency in all kinds of oil spills.<br />

It is very easy to change between the different type of skimmers.<br />

The use of only a few parts makes it a simple skimmer, easy to assemble and easy<br />

to maintain, resulting in low weight and high buoyancy/seaworthiness.<br />

Using two <strong>DESMI</strong> modified positive displacement Archimedes' screw pumps in<br />

vertical design, type DOP-250, the <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> combination skimmer is<br />

able to efficiently recover light as well as heavy oil, also when mixed with debris<br />

normally found in connection with oil spills.<br />

The skimmer is fitted with a flotation system to provide the necessary buoyancy.<br />

Hydraulic power to the skimmer pumps is supplied through hydraulic hoses<br />

connected to the power supply or remote control box. A discharge hose connects the<br />

skimmer to the storage tank.<br />

The hoses will not affect the buoyancy of the skimmer as they are equipped with their<br />

own floats.<br />

The <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> skimmer is designed as an advancing skimmer to operate<br />

in conjunction with a floating containment boom. Do not start the skimmer pump<br />

before a sufficient oil layer is collected (<strong>DESMI</strong> recommends a minimum of 2 cm<br />

(3/4”)). The recovery efficiency may vary from 50 to 100% subject to oil quantity (oil<br />

layer thickness), oil viscosity, boom make, wave conditions, towing speed, and<br />

maybe most important: The operator’s skill!<br />

As an option the <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> skimmer is provided with two thrusters to<br />

secure the best recovery position in the floating containment boom. The thrusters are<br />

hydraulically driven and controlled from the remote control box.<br />

WARNING!<br />

This equipment is designed to cope with debris normally found in an oil spill, and<br />

can be dangerous if the safety precautions in this manual are not followed. Do<br />

not use the equipment without being familiar with the safety instructions. The<br />

customer is responsible for accidents caused by the equipment, if the safety<br />

instructions in this manual are not being followed.


2.0 TRANSPORTATION AND MOUNTING<br />

2.1 Transportation of the skimmer<br />

The <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> skimmer is equipped with a lifting eye for transportation of<br />

the assembled skimmer or for transportation of the pump section alone (see drawing<br />

no. 481741/43).<br />

CAUTION!<br />

Do not lift the skimmer in other parts than the lifting device or the carrying<br />

handles!<br />

Weight:<br />

Total: 550 kg<br />

2.2 Mounting (See drawing 481741/43)<br />

A. Remove from the container (OPTION) the pump section incl. hopper with weir<br />

lip and the four float pipes with the floats and the two thrusters.<br />

B. Snap on the float pipes with the floats to the pump section and be sure that the<br />

pipes are locked.<br />

C. Be sure that the drain hoses from the two DOP-250 pumps are connected to<br />

the drain couplings behind the coupling manifold<br />

.<br />

WARNING!<br />

Always keep a safety distance to the skimmer/pump of minimum 2 m/7 ft.<br />

when the skimmer/pump is connected to the hydraulic power supply. Do<br />

not connect the hydraulic hoses to the power supply until you are ready for<br />

operation.


3.0 RESPONSE TACTICS<br />

3.1. General remarks<br />

It is very difficult to generalise when discussing oil spill situations. Each spill has its<br />

own set of characteristics: Location, close to shore or far off shore, environmental<br />

sensitivity, shallow or deep water, waves, current, wind speed and direction,<br />

temperature, size of spill, type of oil, time after spill, debris, etc.<br />

However, there are common factors that influence how successful the clean-up<br />

operation will be, and they should all be incorporated in an appropriate contingency<br />

plan:<br />

Availability and capability of equipment (ships, skimmer systems, booms, pumps,<br />

storage tanks etc.) and maintenance of the same<br />

Availability of manpower, well trained/not trained<br />

What to protect first of all<br />

Communication<br />

Information<br />

Surveillance<br />

Command<br />

Strategy/planning<br />

Etc.<br />

Regarding the equipment described in this manual, the most important common<br />

factors for success are:<br />

Maintenance and<br />

Training<br />

NOTE!<br />

Training again and again is the only way to be sure to realise the full<br />

capacity of your <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> skimmer system. It is also critical to<br />

ensure proper preventative and corrective maintenance as described in this<br />

manual.<br />

3.2. Oil spills at sea<br />

An overflow weir skimmer should always be within sight of the operator. The closer<br />

the operator is to the skimmer, the better the control and recovery efficiency.


For best manoeuvrability use the skimmer(s) in a single or<br />

double sweep configuration with the skimmer(s) in the<br />

apex of the ship’s side sweep boom(s). For larger oil spills<br />

the configuration may be combined with “J” sweep(s) (Fig.<br />

3) which will feed oil into the system from a wider area.<br />

Use for instance towable storage bladders for storage.<br />

WIND WindDIRECTION<br />

direction<br />

As the ship moves forward through the water, the side<br />

sweeping booms concentrate the oil as the surface area<br />

within the sweep is reduced. This naturally increases the<br />

thickness of the oil layer. It is important that the ship<br />

maintains a constant speed of approximately 0.75 knots<br />

with most boom systems.<br />

Move through the slick and allow the oil layer to build up<br />

in the apex of the boom before starting the skimmer<br />

pump. We recommend an oil layer of at least 2 cm<br />

(3/4”) or more for best efficiency.<br />

Fig. 3 - J-configuration<br />

Try to minimise the total time that the oil is within the<br />

collection area before being skimmed in order to reduce<br />

the risk of oil escaping under the boom. If in doubt, it is always better to start<br />

skimming too early than too late. Any excess water is not a serious problem since the<br />

DOP-250 skimmer pumps do not emulsify the oil and water. The free water can<br />

easily be decanted from the storage tank or collapsible barge and pumped out in<br />

front of the collection sweep.<br />

Debris is a universal problem in almost all oil spill situations. However, the cutting<br />

knife on the inlet of the <strong>DESMI</strong> DOP-250 pumps will handle a lot of the debris<br />

normally found at a spill site: Seaweed, kelp, plastic bags, aluminium cans, bottles,<br />

dead birds, rope (up to 1/2”), wood (up to 1” pine dowel), etc.<br />

Larger debris, such a lumber, tree trunks, large branches, dead animals, etc. must be<br />

manhandled in most situations. One way is to pull it away from the skimmer after it<br />

enters the sweep. The best way is to deflect the bigger debris before it enters the<br />

containment boom. Various techniques exist such as having personnel located in a<br />

boat in front of the sweep, using rakes to pull away the debris.<br />

Deflecting debris may cause deflection of some oil as well. This is, however, far<br />

better than loosing all the oil contained in the boom due to damage or other<br />

complications caused by, for instance, a large tree branch.


4.0 OPERATION OF THE <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> WEIR SKIMMER<br />

WARNING!<br />

WHEN OPERATING: A safety distance to the skimmer/pump of minimum 2 m/7<br />

ft. must be observed by all personnel when the skimmer/pump is connected to<br />

the hydraulic power supply. Also when the skimmer/pump is not running.<br />

4.1 Operation principle (see drawing no. 481741/43)<br />

The <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> is an overflow weir type skimmer. It consists of the pump<br />

section, the four floats with connecting tubes and the hopper with the weir lip. The<br />

weir lip consists of a membrane with a ring-shaped float floating inside the hopper.<br />

On land the ring float on the weir lip will be in its lowest position due to the empty<br />

hopper. When the skimmer is being deployed the oil starts flowing over the weir lip<br />

and into the hopper. The ring float will begin floating on the oil in the hopper. The<br />

buoyancy will lift up the ring float, until the oil stops entering the hopper.<br />

As soon as the pumps start pumping (causing a lower oil level in the hopper), the ring<br />

will automatically adjust its vertical position downwards, allowing more oil to enter the<br />

hopper.<br />

At low pump RPM the ring float will float high inside the hopper, allowing only little oil<br />

to enter the skimmer. At higher RPM the pumps will remove the oil under the ring<br />

float, the float will thus obtain a lower position and more oil will enter the skimmer.<br />

The weir lip will automatically adjust its weir lip to the most optimal position at any<br />

recovery rate.<br />

Besides the up/down movement the weir lip is able to float independently of the<br />

skimmer due to its extremely low inertia mass, and the very flexible connection to the<br />

skimmer. This enables the ring float to keep its weir lip parallel to the oil/water<br />

interface even in small swells which the skimmer is not able to follow.


4.2 Before operation<br />

WARNING !<br />

Keep away from the rotating pump screw and cutting knife. The pump<br />

screw/cutting knives are designed for cutting debris normally found at oil spill<br />

sites and will also cut off fingers and other limbs.<br />

WARNING !<br />

Always keep a safety distance to the pump of minimum 2 m/7 ft. when the<br />

pump is connected to the hydraulic power supply. Do not connect the<br />

hydraulic hoses to the power supply until you are ready for operation.<br />

A. Operate the hydraulic power supply of the skimmer according to the operator’s<br />

manual delivered by the supplier of the hydraulic power source.<br />

B. Hose connections<br />

1. Connect the hydraulic hose set from power source to the remote control box.<br />

Connect the 10 m hydraulic hose set from the remote control box to the<br />

hydraulic manifold on the hose reel.<br />

2. Connect the hydraulic hoses from the hose reel to the quick couplings on the<br />

manifold on skimmer.<br />

3. Connect the discharge hose to the skimmer discharge flange.<br />

4. Check that the locking devices on the hydraulic quick couplings are locked.<br />

5. The hydraulic drain line must always be used.<br />

6. Operate the skimmer pumps DOP1 and DOP2 forward and reverse at low rpm<br />

to check rotation and that the pumps are working properly.<br />

7. Operate the thrusters forward and reverse to check that the thrusters are<br />

working properly.<br />

8. Launch the skimmer by means of the crane<br />

9. When deployed release the skimmer from the crane.<br />

10. After deployment of the skimmer and hoses connect the discharge hose to oil<br />

recovery tank.<br />

CAUTION!<br />

The pump should never run dry for more than a few seconds. Observe the<br />

safety distance of 2 m/7 ft.!


4.3 Operation<br />

WARNING !<br />

A safety distance to the skimmer/pump of minimum 2 m/7 ft. must be<br />

observed by all personnel when the skimmer/pump is connected to the<br />

hydraulic power supply. Also when the skimmer/pump is not running.<br />

NOTE!<br />

When pumping non-oily media (e.g. water during a training session), grease<br />

the plate wheel bearings every 8 hours of operation, using the grease nipple<br />

on the plate wheel shaft of the DOP-250 pumps.<br />

A. Place the skimmer by using the thrusters in the apex<br />

of the boom.<br />

The best recovery rate and efficiency are obtained<br />

when the skimmer is used in conjunction with an oil<br />

boom equipped with a U or V pocket at the apex (Fig.<br />

5). This enables the boom to concentrate even minor<br />

oil spills thus getting a thicker oil layer and more<br />

efficient skimming. Do not start the skimmer pump<br />

before a sufficient oil layer has been collected. <strong>DESMI</strong><br />

recommends an oil layer of at least 2 cm (3/4”) or<br />

more for the best efficiency.<br />

B. As soon as the oil layer has reached a minimum of 2<br />

Fig. 5 - U-formation with V-apex<br />

cm (3/4”) start the skimmer pump at low speed and<br />

increase pump speed gradually while monitoring the oil coming out of the<br />

discharge hose. Increase pump speed until too much water is coming with the oil<br />

out of the discharge hose, then decrease a little.<br />

If it is not possible to monitor the discharge hose adjust the pump speed so that<br />

the collected oil layer in the apex of the boom stays over 2 cm (3/4”).<br />

C. If the skimmer pump stops due to excessive debris/solids, simply reverse the<br />

pump to expel the blockage. Then restart the skimming operation.<br />

WARNING !<br />

If it is necessary to remove debris from the skimmer by hand, stop the<br />

skimming operation and disconnect the hydraulic hoses at the hydraulic<br />

power supply. For safety reasons always keep a distance to the skimmer of<br />

min. 2 m/7 ft. when the skimmer is connected to the hydraulic power supply.


Off-loading with the DOP-250 skimmer pump dismantled from the floats is<br />

described in the DOP Pump manual.<br />

4.4 Recovery after operation<br />

WARNING !<br />

Always keep a safety distance to the pump of minimum 2 m/7 ft. when the<br />

pump is connected to the hydraulic power supply.<br />

CAUTION !<br />

Take care that the discharge hose is not being sucked into the pump as this<br />

will result in severe damage to the hose.<br />

A. The contents of the discharge hose may be evacuated by reversing one of the<br />

skimmer pumps at low rpm.<br />

B. Start the recovery of the skimmer by reversing the hose reel. If necessary use the<br />

thrusters to place the skimmer in optimal position for recovery.<br />

C. If there is still any contents in the discharge hose while rewinding evacuate by<br />

reversing one of the skimmer pumps at low rpm.<br />

D. When the skimmer is in position close to the crane lift the skimmer from the water<br />

and on board the vessel.<br />

E. Follow the instructions in section 5.


5.0 INSPECTION AFTER OPERATION<br />

AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE<br />

NOTE !<br />

See DOP Pump manual for preventative and corrective maintenance.<br />

5.1. Clean the <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> skimmer<br />

WARNING !<br />

Keep away from the rotating pump screw and cutting knives. The pump<br />

screw/cutting knives are designed for cutting debris normally found at oil spill<br />

sites and will also cut off fingers and other limbs.<br />

Always keep a safety distance to the pump of minimum 2 m/7 ft. when the<br />

pump is connected to the hydraulic power supply.<br />

A. After the skimmer has been recovered connect the hydraulic hoses to the power<br />

supply and empty the DOP-250 pumps of oil and water. Disconnect the hydraulic<br />

hoses again and clean the complete skimmer with a solvent consistent with the<br />

medium skimmed.<br />

CAUTION !<br />

Do not use caustic cleaning solutions as this may damage aluminium parts.<br />

B. Wash the skimmer and thrusters with FRESH water. Connect the hydraulic hoses<br />

to the power supply and flush the DOP-250 pumps with fresh water letting the<br />

pump run slowly.<br />

C. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and clean carefully all hydraulic quick couplings<br />

as well as the discharge coupling. Check for leaks and tighten up if necessary.<br />

5.2 Inspection of the DOP-250 pump<br />

A. Snap off the float pipes with the floats from the pump section by pulling the eyes<br />

on the locking devices.<br />

B. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses incl. quick couplings from the manifold on<br />

skimmer foot. Dismantle the skimmer foot and unscrew the hopper part from the<br />

pumps. The pumps are now ready for inspection after operation according to the<br />

pump manual.


5.3 Protection of the <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> skimmer<br />

A. After inspection of the pumps: Reassemble the pumps on the hopper flange and<br />

mount the foot on the pumps.<br />

B. Lubricate all quick couplings using anti-corrosion oil and fit the dust caps and<br />

dust plugs on all couplings.<br />

C. Store the skimmer in a dry place free of dust. The skimmer should be wrapped in<br />

plastic or by other means protected from a dusty environment when not in use.<br />

D. Protect the skimmer against sunlight. The bellows on the weir lip may be<br />

damaged after long time exposure to sunlight.<br />

5.4. Preventative maintenance of <strong>DESMI</strong>-<strong>TARANTULA</strong> floatation system<br />

A. Very little effort is necessary to keep the floatation system in the necessary state<br />

of readiness that is required for all oil spill recovery equipment. Follow the<br />

directions given in Section 5.1.<br />

B. Inspect all surfaces for possible damage due to collision with for instance the<br />

recovery vessel. Check the floats and float tubes for leaks. (Water in the float or<br />

tube will indicate a leak). The floats are made of oil resistant polyethylene plastic<br />

which is almost shockproof, but nevertheless damage is possible. If a leak is<br />

detected contact your local RO-CLEAN <strong>DESMI</strong> representative for repair.<br />

C. Check the O-sealing rings in the hydraulic quick couplings. Replace them if they<br />

look worn out. Keep the couplings clean. Dirt may affect the functioning of the<br />

couplings and the hydraulic system. Always use dust caps and dust plugs.<br />

D. Check the lifting device. It must be safely secured to the hopper.<br />

E. Check the locking devices that lock the float pipes to the pump.<br />

F. Check that the bellows on the weir lip is in good condition. Protect the weir lip<br />

against sunlight during storage.
