A method of operation of a self-propelled barge capable of supporting six integrated process systems for continuous recovery of surface and sub-surface oil. The six major process systems are (1) a wave following positioning system. (2) A process system that provides maximum efficiency of flotation and compaction of oil by providing a recirculated water supply with entrained and super saturated dissolved air. (3) A process system that provides a wave following adjustable positioning vacuum collection system for the compacted oil film on the surface of the water. (4) A vacuum collection system that combines a vacuum receiver and a separation column (1280) to provide both collection and separation in a single process stage. (5) A secondary gravity separation process. (6) A combined process system to store recovered oil on board the barge and transfer the recovered oil to an independent oil storage bulk carrier. |
