ABSTRACT:
Separate devices for removing oil from water where no tank or vessel is required next to the skimmer since the scraper is at an angle from the horizon designed to flow oil away from the skimmer into a tube to a pump and can be used in confined areas, shallow water or for industrial use to remove oil. Skimmers are designed to retrieve oil in any type of weather conditions. The containment boom is made of a flexible material rolled in a tight bundle having 2 compartments where water and air are pumped, having relief valves with flexing joints to insure containments during high waves. The oil is pumped into sacks which are stored in canisters on the sides of the tanker for quick release.
