ABSTRACT:
This invention consists of a method of operation of a Self-Propelled Barge that is capable of supporting six integrated process systems for the continuous recovery of surface and sub-surface Oil or Oil Products spilled into Fresh, Brackish or Sea Water. The six major process systems provided by the invention are as follows: (1) A wave following positioning system that will provide the correct distance below the surface of the Water in order to allow the introduction of a process for the flotation and compaction of surface and sub-surface of Oil by entrained and super saturated dissolved Air. (2) A process system that provides maximum efficiency of flotation and compaction of Oil by providing a recirculated water supply with entrained and super saturated dissolved Air. (3) A process system that provides a Wave following adjustable positioning vacuum collection system for the compacted Oil film on the surface of the Water. (4) A vacuum collection system that combines a vacuum receiver and a separation column to provide both collection and separation in a single process stage. (6) A secondary gravity separation process to further increase the efficiency of the Oil/Water separation. A combined process system to store recovered Oil on board the Barge and to also transfer the recovered Oil to an independent Oil storage bulk carrier.
