ABSTRACT:
This invention comprises an apparatus and a method of using it to recover petroleum from a spill or the like floating, for example, on a body of water. Powder particles which have a strong affinity for combining physically with petroleum are adapted either to be sprayed upon the spill to adsorb it or surround the floating particles with a boom for movement to apparatus including a centrifuge operated at high speeds to separate the petroleum from the particles and thereby recover the same. The preferred apparatus also includes a porous boom containing such particles and surrounding a slick with said boom which floats on the body of water on which the spill is disposed and, with the aid of tugboats or the like, the boom adsorbs petroleum and the tugboats move the boom to discharge mechanism. The apparatus also includes devices operable to remove adsorbed particles from the boom and recover the petroleum from the particles by centrifugal action as stated above.
