Oil Capture Systems news
We need better, faster ways to remove oily contaminants from our waterways.
About OCS
We are a pre-launch startup focused on oily-water capture and treatment at industrial sites and open water spills.
Co-founders include Rick Terrien and Dave Walker. Rick and Dave have been awarded 14 U.S. and foreign patents focused on oil-water separations. They commercialized many of those inventions worldwide.
Their innovations and their tools have kept tens of millions of gallons of contaminating oil out of the environment and continue to make possible a globally significant reduction in atmospheric carbon emissions from manufacturing plants.
Their work was awarded the United States Small Business New Product of the Year by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE). NSPE represents the highest engineering certification in the world.
Fast Company magazine honored their work with a 'Fast 50' - now called 'The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies'. They believe they are the smallest company ever awarded this honor.
OCS includes in its ownership a world class manufacturer. They are highly skilled and experienced at serving this market with the capacity to scale.
OCS has a rich intellectual property history and an inspiring IP future.

Suction Skimmers
Our suction skimmers are adjustable to skim at any depth and also to skim right at the surface across variable surfact levels.
Suction skimmers can quickly remove large quantities of floating oily contaminants without using consumables.
Standard Suction Skimmers are made of all stainless steel and use no consumables. We drive our suction skimmers with air operated pumps so no electricity is require, and no unnecessary electrical issues can be introduced in volitile atmospheres.
This skimmer is removing floating oily contaminants from machine coolants in an industrial application.
Crossflow Gravity Separators
Crossflow Gravity Separator
Crossflow gravity separator continuously skimming and separating floating oily contaminants in an industrial application.
No consumables used. Gravity only.
Vertical Gravity Separators

"Like turning an oil separation lagoon on edge."
Loop Treatment
Batch treatment systems for oily contaminant removal.
With our Loop Systems, a fixed amount of fluid is put into the treatment tank. Fluids are then continuously circulated through integrated gravity separation devices to remove contaminants.
OCS - product roadmap
We build effective products to serve the oil skimming, capture, and separation markets. Our systems are designed as sustainable solutions and use virtually no consumables.
Our product roadmap.
• Develop a market for our suction skimmer packages in the emergency spill remediation markets.
• Explore oil capture and separations opportunities at natural gas drilling sites utilizing our skimmers and gravity separators.
• File new intellectural property to include open water capture and separation devices.
