AbTech’s Line Skimmers employ the Smart Sponge^® technology which allows water to pass through the product absorbing even sheen levels of hydrocarbons without inhibiting water flow. Line Skimmers are designed to absorb and encapsulate hydrocarbons and oil in nonconfined water flows. They are ideal for creating lines of hydrocarbon protection in areas such as ponds and streams as well as clarifying wells and ships in port.
