ABSTRACT:
A device for recovering oil from an oil-slick on a stretch of water is supported on the water by at least one first floating body and is provided with an inlet that is open facing the oil-slick and that flows into a channel with side walls. The channel is provided with at least one separating body that extends between the side walls in such a manner that an upper drain zone is formed above the separating body and a separate lower drain zone is formed below the separating body. The front edge of the separating body facing the oil-slick is substantially disposed on the level of the water/oil interface and the oil can be discharged from the upper drain zone. The device makes use of the natural interface between the oil-slick and the subjacent water.
