Skim-pak

Skim-pak manufactures surface liquid skimmers and decanting equipment from its manufacturing and warehouse facility at 2008 National Avenue in Hayward, California, with a sales office in Monterey. The company offers five skimmer models and one decanter: the Model 2300 for bio-foam removal in wastewater applications, the Model 4200 for oil recovery, the Model 4500-SH, the Model 11800-DH Decanter for separating liquids of different densities, the Model 11810 for chemical foam, and the Model 18300-SH for heavy-duty skimming. Skim-pak positions its product line as the most versatile and reliable skimming equipment on the market, arguing that total cost of ownership — including maintenance, replacement frequency, and operating efficiency — makes their equipment the most economical choice despite competitors' lower initial prices. The company's design philosophy centers on making environmentally responsible skimming also the cost-effective option. Applications span power generation, oil refining and transportation, food harvesting and processing, emergency spill response, wastewater treatment including SBR and MBR configurations, chemical processing, industrial process water, storm water treatment, and decorative ponds. Skim-pak handles oil, foam, paint, and debris across general industrial, water and wastewater, storm water, small spill, catastrophic spill, and specialized application categories. No certifications or founding year were disclosed on the website.
