摘要 |
The present invention relates in a first aspect to a liquid removal device (1),and in a second aspect to a method for removing a liquid (3), such as oil or an algae slurry, from a surface of water. The device comprises a circumferentially extending flexible wall element (5) defining together with a bottom part (7) a suction chamber (9) for receiving the liquid (2). A floater body (11) is sealingly connected to the flexible wall element (5) at an upper edge of the latter, and is able to effectuate a movement in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the surface of water. The floater body has a circumferentially extending outer member (15) and an inner member (17). The inner member is adapted to receive a buoyant force exerted by the liquid contained in the suction chamber. The outer member (15) has an upper circumferential edge for receiving the liquid. |
