ABSTRACT:
A lower density fluid that is substantially immiscible and is floating on the surface of a body of a higher density fluid is collected, separated and stored in the top part of a container having a roof, peripheral walls of flexible fluid-impermeable material and an opening in the bottom. The container is kept afloat in the body of higher density fluid by a floatation collar, and a submersion ring imparts shape to the peripheral walls. A mixture of fluids is skimmed from the surface of the body and is pumped into the container through inlets near the bottom. The lighter density fluid separates and floats in the top part of the container, and the higher density fluid is displaced through the opening in the bottom.
