ABSTRACT:
An oil spill confining or sweeping system and method employing spray booms creating fine water spray curtains angled to the water's surface from an elevation above water level. Mounted divergently at the bow of a skimmer vessel, these spray curtains are effective to funnel the oil into the vessel's pick-up device ahead of the vessel without dispersing or emulsifying the oil. The fine spray particles making up the curtains have carrying effect sufficient to project entrained air with the spray to the water's surface independently of variations in distance between the booms and the water's surface attending passage of waves and swells.
