ABSTRACT:
An oil removal device for separating floating oils from water or water-based liquids. A rotating disk lifts viscous oils frown the water or water-based liquid. The oil is removed from the disk by wiper blades on either side of the disk on the downward part of the disk's travel. The oil then falls into channels and is channeled into a storage container. A support frame comprising a base and a center post attached to the base is connected to and supports the disk, wiper blades and channels. A gravity separating chamber could be used in place of the storage container. Water collected by the disk is diverted from the oil by a small-scale gravity separator module. The gravity separator module includes a weir having a gap or space at the bottom to separate the water from the oil.
