Embodiment Construction

[0015] A variety of oil-on-water detectors are commercially available, ranging from optical devices that detect the reflectivity of the water surface when oil is floating on the water surface, to capacitive devices that detect the change in output capacitance when surface oil is present. An ideal detection device carried by a grid according to the invention would not only detect oil but also give an indication of the depth of the oil at the surface. Although different detection devices could be used, eg salinity sensitive devices, embodiments of the present invention propose to utilize ultrasound transducers as detectors for such detection means.

[0016] Figure 1a is a plan view of a typical oil containment boom 1 used in the subsea oil production industry to keep spilled or leaked oil so that the oil can be recovered to avoid serious environmental pollution, Figure 1b to pass through Figure 1a An enlarged cross-section of grid 1 of A-A. The grid 1 is typically made of se...

Abstract

A boom (1) for retaining oil on the surface (6) of a body of water, is provided with a sensing means (12) for detecting such oil and an electronic circuitry coupled with the sensing means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to oil retention booms. Background technique [0002] Oil booms are used to attempt to prevent the spread of spilled or spilled oil on the surface of the sea by floating on the surface to act as a mechanical barrier to unintentional spilled or spilled oil. Large spills often cover tens, if not hundreds of kilometers. Monitoring the spread of oil during a spill or spill is a potentially resource-intensive task involving scouting aircraft and other human observation, and is a very expensive process. The present invention seeks to simplify this task at a significantly reduced cost. Contents of the invention [0003] According to the invention, from one aspect, there is provided a grid for retaining oil on the surface of a body of water, the grid having detection means for detecting such oil and an electronic circuit coupled to the detection means [0004] According to the present invention, from another aspect, there is ...
