HMT also provides Skimmer Systems. Mixtures of liquids with different densities (such as oil and water) tend to
stratify in a storage tank. A Skimmer System is designed to enable the removal of the lighter product(s) that float
to the top. HMT has Skimmer System designs that are engineered to operate in conjunction with all types of
floating roofs or without a floating roof. Contact your HMT representative for additional information.
