Vens oil skimmers approved by Baker Hughes

Vens Hydroluft oil skimmers are approved by Baker Hughes, one of the world’s largest energy technology companies. For our customers, it is independent confirmation of what we work to every day: skimmers that are engineered for the process, built in the right materials and made to last in demanding oil and gas service.

At a glance

• What: Vens oil skimmers are approved by Baker Hughes.

• Who we are: an Indian manufacturer of oil skimmers, floating suction units, oil water separators and oil spill response equipment, with more than 10,000 installations and part of the Davey Group, established in 1990.

• What it means for you: the same design, materials and quality checks go into every Vens skimmer, whoever the customer.

Why it matters

Global energy companies are careful about the equipment they allow into their operations. A supplier has to show that its products do the job, that its quality system is in place and that it can support what it sells. Approval by a company of Baker Hughes’s standing tells other buyers that Vens skimmers have been looked at closely by people who know oilfield equipment, and accepted.

It also reflects how we design. Before we size a skimmer, we ask what the oil is, how hot the liquid is, how the level moves, what solids and chemicals are present and how the plant is run. Belts, discs, drums and tubes are chosen to suit the oil, frames and drives are designed to proper factors of safety, and every unit is inspected before dispatch. Vens is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer.
