Oil skimmer works continuously to collect the oil present and automatically pumps it to storage when sufficient quantity has accumulated. The oil skimmer can be used for oil pollution, spill response, or oily water treatment.

Oil socks absorb and skim petroleum fluids from water. It removes oil from troughs and vats, indoors or out. It absorbs oil from water around leaking machines exposed to rain, waste streams, and various other oil/water separation applications.

Oil sorbent can be produced from three major sources: mineral, vegetable, and synthetic. It is used to handle accidental spills and leaks of polluting agents in water. It absorbs up to 25 times own weight work with all kinds of hydrocarbons and derivatives, has rapid capillarity absorption. It can also be used to handle oil sprays under machinery and prevents risks due to spills and leaks.

Oil Spill Equipment refers to equipments used for oil spills where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters. Most common types of oil spill equipment, tool products, such as skimmers, pumps, dispersants, absorbents, storage facilities and vessels are available. Equipments like booms are used to divert oil away from a sensitive area or to contain oil. Oil containment boom is used for the containment, exclusion or deflection of oil floating on water. Oil spill equipments like fire booms are used for both in-situ burning of large oil spills and in protective applications. Absorbent pads, pillows, booms, rolls, and sweeps are also used for all marine oil spill equipment applications.

Oil spill-on-water remote sensing system is designed to locate and delimit oil spills on the surface of water and on shorelines under a broad range of operating scenarios, during both day and night conditions. The suite of equipment, including infrared, ultraviolet, and visible spectrum cameras, allows the operator to differentiate between thick and thin oil on the surface of water. This combination of sensors offers multi-spectral coverage, which permits higher probability of detection, better discrimination and effective operation over a wide range of weather and lighting conditions.

Oil spill is an unintentional release of liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment as a result of human activity. The term often refers to marine oil spill, where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters. Oil spill happens when people make mistakes or are careless and cause an oil tanker to leak oil into the ocean. There are a few more ways an oil spill can occur. Equipment breaking down may cause an oil spill.
