The main aim of the project is to collect/separate the oil from the surface of the water in the sea.
Objectives :
1. To collect the spilled oil from surface of the water which cleans the water.
2. To reduce the pollution of water.
3. To reduce the westage of oil.
5.1 Construction and working process of oil skimmer :
The oil skimmer contains four aluminum disc, acrylic body, battery, switches, L-shaped aluminum strip, oil collector tank and high speed motor etc. The aluminum discs are connected to the L-shaped aluminum strip and aluminum strip are connected to the oil collector tank. There are three motors used in this skimmer which is operated by battery and motor controller. When the oil skimmer …show more content…
No need of any chemical material for this process.
5.5 Disadvantages of oil skimmer :
Oil spill is not possible in routine life so we required space to store this system.
Operating cost high.
1.1 Overview
Skimmers may be:
• Self-propelled – Moved with thrusters for forward and backward movement operated by joysticks or levers. During an operation it is possible to position the skimmer in the place of greatest oil concentration.
• Dynamic – Generally they are positioned on the bow or on side of a vessel. To make it possible for recovery of the oil and the movement of a vessel simultaneously.
Stationary – They are moved and retained by ropes by placing in the location with the greatest concentration of oil. For many years the response industry has been making
ABSTRACT
Oil is one of the precious crude and being used in many routine application of human life. It is not easy to determine the amount of oil spilled into sea every year.
During the operating of crude oil the transportation of crude oil requires the adoption of safety measures in port terminals. At sea accidents are further serious cause of oil pouring and cause of pollution. The collection of spilled oil …show more content…
A skimmer is a machine that separates oil or particles floating on a liquid surface
2.2 Sea Oil Separator with Disc and Belt Skimmer
Researcher: Mr. DhondeDiapk Panditrao1
Published Year: 2003
Conclusion: In this research the researcher made the working model of the oil collector in which rotating disc belt are used to collect the oil from the surface of the water. This model consist of solar panel which means there is is no need of external power to drive the skimmer.
dimensions on the recovery efficiency was explored. Guidelines for the design of a more efficient surface geometry tailored to the properties of the recovered oil were
