Vessel for skimming oil from waste surface - uses integral hull extensions to scoop top layer of liquid into eye of separator pumps

摘要

A device for removing thin layers of floating liq. from the surface of a sheet of water consists of a specially constructed ship having inlets on either side of the hull leading direct to sepn. processes inside the ship. A series of aerodynamic fins serves to concentrate the floating liq. layer into the area of the inlets and to increase the thickness of the liq. layer. Appts. is used in the clearance of seaborne oil.
