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. |
