Method and apparatus for conveying and damming back lighter liquids floating on specifically heavier liquids, particularly oil floating on water

摘要

According to the present method a local overspeed is produced in the vicinity of the interface between the two liquids by means of a special apparatus, either actively by a moving component or passively by the relative incident flow. As a result of this overspeed the lighter liquid is conveyed in the desired direction and is optionally dammed back in front of a retaining wall.
