A method and apparatus for removing a fluid from an immiscible fluid composition including a floating liquid and a carrying liquid are disclosed. A body having floatation supports, means to permit rotation about a horizontal plane and free movement in a vertical plane, and an internal cavity is disposed in the immiscible composition, and the floating liquid is allowed to enter the cavity. The floating liquid in the cavity is skimmed by a slidable pickup conduit disposed coaxially with a receiving conduit coextensive with the bottom of the cavity, and is then removed from the cavity.
