Oil Skimmer
I had a 5 gallon bucket of oil mixed with water. This was largely the oil that was drained from the centrifuge over time. It is about half water. Very nasty stuff. I used the oil skimmer to extract the oil off the top. It worked well.
This photo shows the skimmer picking up the oil. This is the temporary setup. This is the oil coming out of the skimmer and into the heater.
Another shot. The skimmer is just resting on the top of the bucket. This is the complete setup showing the heater and the centrifuge.
   
This is the results from 2.5 gallons of oil that was floating on 2 gallons of water.
