General information
- Short Summary
- Based on long years of experience in remediation, the Hungarian SME developed an automatic oil skimming pump that meets a wide range of requirements and is capable of removing liquid hydrocarbons from the surface of groundwater. It is produced in several sizes and performance ranges, and the characteristics of its built-in filters can be adjusted to the substance to be skimmed. The company is looking for partners for commercial agreement in the field of remediation and environmental p
- Full Description
-
The Hungarian company has developed and produces automatic oil skimmer pumps.
The automatic pump is capable of removing (skimming) hydrocarbons floating on the surface of remediation wells, making it suitable for remediation of oil-contaminated areas.
The Hungarian company’s target market is typically oil companies and companies involved in real estate development (brownfield investments), as well as owners of any land affected by oil spills or bigger manufacturing companies.
The automatic oil skimming pump is produced in several sizes and performance ranges, and the characteristics of its built-in filters can be adjusted to the substance to be skimmed. Hydrocarbon skimming systems reduce downtimes due to human negligence to the minimum thus significantly increase the efficiency of remediation. The latest member of the company’s skimming pump range is capable of removing 500 to 600 litres of hydrocarbons per day in a fully automated unattended manner. The equipment has a remote management solution enabling remote control and intervention. It removes hydrocarbons floating on the surface of water without the reduction of water levels in a fully automated way. The pump prevents water pumping and records the volume of skimmed hydrocarbon (in litres). The controller of the equipment consumes little power as the explosion-proof sections of the equipment are powered only when necessary.
The skimmer system is an automated equipment that does not require constant supervision. Power supply is provided either from a battery (12VDC) with charging through solar panels or from the mains network (230VAC) according to the customer’s requirements. In the case of power supply via battery, the battery only needs to be replaced if it has failed or if, due to weather or other conditions (e.g. contamination of the solar panels), the solar panels cannot charge the battery properly. The control unit has a low power consumption of around 1W in ‘waiting time’ mode and approximately 6W ‘operating-discharge time’ mode.
These systems can be installed as fully autonomous units in environments with little or no infrastructure.
Main material: corrosion-resistant (acid-resistant) stainless steel, resistant to crude oil and its derivatives (e.g. benzene, petrol, diesel, kerosene, etc.).
The equipment is sold ready for use after pressure testing and certification.
All equipment can be purchased or leased with installation, full service and management, etc.
There is experienced professional staff and a well-equipped workshop. The company has referencies e.g. in Slovakia.
The company provides production conditions in compliance with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards.
The company is scalable in production and sales volume.
The company is considering the following types of partnership:
Commercial agreement:
In subcontracting building joint project start-up, e.g. in the case of remediation, the company will carry out a project by combining technologies through joint design and construction.
The Hungarian company is looking for distributor partners for skimmers abroad. Foreign partners should be involved in environmental remediation who has a customer base on this area.
Outsourcing agreement:
The international partner company subcontracts contracted out a part of its business process to the Hungarian company for remediation design. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company manufactures high quality, durable and easy to apply products, which they can produce in a wide range of sizes and capacities for their customers, taking into account their specific needs.
- high quality, durable and easy to apply products from high quality materials; wide range of sizes and capacities; manufacturing on the basis of clients’ specific needs
The company's structures are designed to be mobile, allowing easy disassembly, movement and assembly elsewhere. Furthermore, such a design also facilitates the transport of the structures.
- Mobile structures: allowing easy disassembly, movement/transporting and assembly elsewhere
- These systems can be installed as fully autonomous units in environments with low infrastructure or without infrastructure.
- The company is currently developing a winch system for automatic positioning of the vertical movement of the pump, which means that the equipment will be suitable for use in areas with variable water levels, such as gravel beds and floodplains of rivers and streams, and in tidal coastal areas.
Safety features of the automatic oil skimming pump:
- Explosion-proof: the sensors and components of the intervention units comply with all relevant standards and both the components and the complete equipment are tested and certified.
- Overfill protection for the above ground tank.
- No water pumping: with the exception of the passive oil skimmer, the equipment is interlocked against misadjustment or failure. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The company is looking for cooperation with companies involved in environmental remediation or in some way related to it, with whom they have the possibility to present, sell, lease or even operate their own innovation on a long-term basis, including servicing. The company is thinking of partnering in a remediation project from design to implementation.
The ideal partner should have the skills and competencies in:
- Service, relationship building and sales development in the subordinate export area
- Building a customer base on the subordinate market
- Responsibility for contracts with clients - contract negotiations, legal, commercial and economic verification, modification suggestions
- Readiness to coordinate several topics in parallel,
- Independence, readiness to take responsibility for the entrusted area
- Building the position of the company and the product on the partner's home markets
Commercial agreement:
Expected outcome: international collaboration, application and demonstration of the technology abroad. This includes skimmer sales.
Outsourcing agreement:
The foreign partner is interested in outsourcing a part of its services to the Hungarian company who will perform the agreed services in the field of remediation design. - Type and Size of Partner
