OIL/WATER SEPARATION METHOD FOR RECOVERED SPILLED OIL AND OIL/WATER SEPARATOR THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To certainly and efficiently separate water getting mixed in oil by utilizing the specific gravity difference between oil and water by a simple apparatus when oil spilled to the sea or the like is recovered and to facilitate post- treatment because the spilled oil is rapidly separated into oil and water after recovery. SOLUTION: An inclined plate 7 is connected to the spilled oil port of a hopper 1 in which spilled oil is charged and a large number of oil/water separation holes 8, etc., are formed to the inclined plate 7. A separated oil recovery tank 12 is arranged on the lower end side 7D of the inclined plate 7 and a separated water recovery tank 15 is arranged just under the inclined plate 7. The inclined plate 7 is made variable in its angle of inclination by a posture control unit 9. An ice lump discharge member 6 comprising a large number of metal rods is provided to the hopper main body 3 of the hopper 1.
