ABSTRACT:
An oil separating buoyant surface vessel for separating oil from surface water level from a large body of oil-contaminated water and for economically reclaiming this oil The vessel comprises a pair of lateral buoyancy members and a liquid flow-through separator rigid open frame integral to the buoyancy member and destined to be maintained in partly submerged condition in water. The separator frame comprises a first chamber having a front surface water intake port, and a pair of first channel members extending to a rear surface water outlet port; a second chamber located rearwardly of the first chamber; a third submerged chamber located beneath the first and second chambers and having a second channel member, extending to a front submerged water outlet port, a third arcuate channel member, an intermediate section of the third channel member extending spacedly over water line, and a fourth upright channel member, opening at its top end mouth into the second chamber over water line. Pressurized air is fed to a submerged rearward end portion of the first channel member, wherein a fore and aft suction is generated into the first channel member.
