Pollution control vessel

摘要

Catamaran-type boat for collecting waste (petroleum, oils, rubbish, algae, etc.), of those comprised by two parallel and longitudinal hulls, wherebetween is defined a tunnel wherethrough water flows, a control bridge, and at least one fuel tank for servicing a main engine, fundamentally standing out in that it permits access thereof to very shallow areas, and in that once said waste has been collected and filtered, it is packaged in bags and tossed back into the water for its subsequent collection or towing by auxiliary boats, allowing the ship to be used continuously in a greater number of situations; additionally permitting the configuration of the ship for “open sea” waste collection, and a configuration of the ship for “coastal areas”, rivers, marshes or suchlike.

主权项

1. An anti-pollution ship for the collection of
waste, such as petroleum, oil, rubbish, algae or suchlike, the ship comprising:
two parallel and longitudinal hulls, wherebetween is defined a space or tunnel configured so as to allow water freely flowing wherethrough,at least one fuel tank for servicing a main engine, anda control bridge where the navigation and direction controls of the ship are located, the ship further comprising:
a waste collection tray disposed in the tunnel between the two hulls of the ship, and adapted to collect and filter waste present on the surface of the water,at least one longitudinal screw conveyor connected to the collection tray, for causing vacuum currents inside the tunnel, and for lifting at least part of the waste to a collector disposed on the rear part of the collection tray, the screw leaning on the collector,a decantation chamber disposed below the collector, and communicated with the collection tray, for collecting, from the tray, at least part of remaining waste not collected by the longitudinal screw conveyor,at least one vacuum pump connected to the collector, adapted to transport the waste housed in the decantation chamber by lifting the waste up to a final position inside the collector, andvalves, connected to the collector, for allowing the waste exit wherethrough for a final unloading of the waste in collection bags, the bags being intended to be closed and numbered for their subsequent tossing into the water so as to be picked up by an auxiliary boat.
