ABSTRACT:
A portable oil-water separation unit especially well adapted for use in removing oil from limited quantities of water such as in clarifying bilge water in a boat, includes a sealed container a flexible, porous bag filled or packed with a granular oleophilic, hydrophobic foamed polymeric material. The container has a removable closure, with an inlet and at least one outlet extending through the closure to permit a water-oil mixture such as bilge water to be circulated therethrough. The inlet conduit terminates in the top portion of the container at a point spaced below the closure while the outlet conduit extends to and terminates at a position adjacent the bottom of the container so that the effluent from the apparatus must flow downward through the foamed material, whereby the oil is separated by attraction to the oleophilic material as well as by filtration and floatation while the water is permitted to flow through the device.
