Problems solved by technology

[0003] Known oil skimmers have the problem that when using the oil skimmer, excess water mixed with the removed oil is conveyed together with the oil via the brush wheel to the container for the removed oil
This requires more storage space for the removed oil

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The invention relates to a method for collecting oil from a water surface 1 . The method includes the following steps:

[0026] - collecting oil from the water surface 1 to the bristles 2 of the rotating brush wheel 3,

[0027] - scrape the oil from the bristles 2 of the rotating brush wheel 3 using the scraper comb 4,

[0028] - guiding the scraped oil to the space 5 formed between the scraper comb 4 and the wall 6, which space 5 has a converging shape,

[0029] - guide the oil along the converging space 5 to the gap 7,

[0030] - guide oil through gap 7, and

[0031] - Lead the oil from the gap 7 to the container 8 .

[0032] Water surface refers to the surface of a body of water, such as a lake or ocean.

[0033] The rotating brush wheel 3 is preferably connected to the vessel. During oil collection, the vessel may be stationary or in motion.

[0034] The pressure caused by rotating the brush wheel 3 causes the scraped oil to fill the converging space 5 and pa...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for collecting oil from a surface 1 of water. The method comprises the steps of collecting oil from a surface 1 of water to bristles 2 of a rotating brush wheel 3, scraping oil from the bristles 2 of the rotating brush wheel 3 using a scraper comb 4, leading scraped oil to a space 5 formed between the scraper comb 4 and a wall 6, the space 5 having a converging shape, leading oil along the converging space 5 to a gap 7, leading oil through the gap 7, and leading oil from the gap 7 to a container 8. The invention also relates to an apparatus for collecting oil from a surface of water, comprising a rotatable brush wheel 3 for collecting oil from a surface 1 of water on the bristles 2 of the rotatable brush wheel 3, a scraper comb 4 adapted to scrape oil from the bristles 2 of the brush wheel 3, a container 8 for containing collected oil, a leading means for leading scraped oil from the scraper comb 4 to the container 8, a space 5 having a converging shape formed between the scraper comb 4 and a wall 6, the space 5 being adapted to receive oil from the scraper comb 4, and a gap 7 in fluid connection with the space 5 adapted to receive oil from the space 5 and to lead oil through the gap 7 towards the container 8.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of collecting oil, in particular to a method for collecting oil from the surface of water. The invention also relates to a device for collecting oil from the surface of water. Background technique [0002] Document WO 2007 / 059606 A1 discloses an oil skimmer for removing both heavy oil and light oil or for removing heavy oil or light oil from a body of water and a method of operation of the oil skimmer. Heavy oil is removed from a first location on the rotating component and light oil is removed from a second location on the rotating component. Oil removed at the above two locations is collected at a single location and a pump removes the oil from the oil skimmer. [0003] A problem with known oil skimmers is that, when using the oil skimmer, excess water mixed with the removed oil is conveyed together with the oil via the brush wheel to the container for the removed oil. This requires more storage space for ...
