A method for removing selected biodegradable materials from a body of water (12). In the first step of this method, a plurality of bio-suspension elements (107) are disposed within an enclosure (10) which is floating at least partially submerged in a body of water; the bio-suspension elements provide surfaces for supporting the growth of at least five different biological microorganisms. The different biological microorganisms are intermittently introduced into the enclosure along with water; the water is continuously aerated and fed into the enclosure at a rate of at least about 60 feet per minute. The treated water so produced is continuously removed from the enclosure at a rate of at least about 60 feet per minute. The pH, the total dissolved solids, the temperature, and the flow rate of the treated water are continuously measured.

HIGH CAPACITY OIL RECUPERATOR FOR DE-POLLUTION IN ROUGH WATERS

HIGH CAPACITY OIL RECUPERATORS FOR DE-POLLUTION IN ROUGH WATERS, The invention relates to a high capacity oil recuperator for use in rough waters, associated to a fixed platform or to a de-polluting ship. Said recuperator consists of a submerged assembly composed of a cylinder of vanes rotating inside a stator of which the configuration induces and maintains in the liquid mixture sucked a localized vortex which is not associated to the flow and in which the oil concentrates immediately under the effect of a strong centrifugal acceleration. A pump working in connection with the stator sucks in the oil for storage purposed. The energy communicated to the rejected cleaned water can be advantageously used for propelling and manoeuvering the ship or platform. The invention rinds an application in the production of skimming crafts of all capacity used for the de-pollution of rough waters, in harbours, river, estuaries, and at sea.

A floatable-material harvester is disclosed, including a vacuum source, transport hose, and a floatable-material receiver. In one embodiment, the transport hose has at least one air inductor/intake along its length, which allows air to enter the transport hose to accelerate its contents, by negative pressure air induction. In another embodiment, a transport hose has at least one floatable-material thruster along its length, comprised of at least one nozzle, which provides pressurized fluid (e.g., air or water) in the direction of the flow of the harvested floatable material by positive pressure induction. A method is disclosed whereby the floatable material harvester is used to harvest an absorbent material (e.g., wood chips, straw, perlite, zeolite, polypropylene mesh, titanate nanofibres) that has absorbed a pollutant (e.g., oil, solvent, radioactive isotopes) from a beach or in water.

MARINE LIFTING VESSEL

For a self-powered marine lifting vessel or catamaran having static buoyancy, a working deck is forcibly raised or lowered by flexing or extending each of a plurality of articulated pairs of fixedly mounted support beams connecting each hull and the deck. One version uses locally applied forces at the joints from adjacent hydraulic cylinders, incidentally causing the hulls to rotate about their axes. Another version forces the hulls to rotate axially from a non-rotating aft inter-hull linkage. Applications include routine harbour maintenance and hull cleaning, then emergency marine pollution including oil cleanup at a polluted site.

REMOVING OIL FROM A BODY OF WATER

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for capturing and removing oil from a body of water with equipment using rod and film technology, which includes a streamlined oil tank that moves in the water and collects surface oil from an attached skimmer, arrays of inverted funnels lowered into the water to concentrate oil for removal, and containment tents to capture leaking fuel or cargo oil from a sunken ship or any underwater oil leak and channel it into a partially submerged rod and film storage tank at the surface.

OIL COMBATTING VESSEL

The three-hulled oil combatting vessel (500) according to the invention has a separating structure (100), which pushes ice blocks (J1), which move between the middle hull (SH1) and the side hulls (SH2, SH3) from the prow to the stem, underneath the water surface (WL1). Said structure (100) may for example be a grate in the longitudinal direction of the vessel (500). The density of the oil (B4) or oil refining product to be collected is smaller than that of the water, so the oil (B3), which has been separated from the ice blocks (J1) that were pushed down, tends to rise through the separating structure (100) to the water surface. The separating structure (100) thus separates the oil (B3) from the ice blocks (J1), whereby the collecting of the oil for example into a container is made significantly easier. The separated (B4) oil can thus be collected from the relatively ice-free water surface (WL1) with an oil collecting device (200), which may have for example a brush skimmer.

MOBILE COLLAPSIBLE FLOATING OIL CONTAINER

This invention relates to a flexible, collapsible, floating container (1) fo r receiving and holding liquids such as oil recovered from oil spills. Specifically, the invention relates to a continuous, sealed, collapsible container having an upper portion which has a positive buoyancy to maintain an upright position of the container while collapsed an d when filled with oil. A rigid ring (2) with a valve (4) for introducing the liquid is located in the upper portion. A stabilizer to prevent rotation and provide stability may be attached to a lower portion of the container. A strengthening layer, such as nylon mesh (16) cou ld be added to surround the container (1), as well as a harness for lifting the container out of the water. The container (1) expands and floats as it becomes filled.

Collecting oil slick from sea water - uses conduit dragged across water surface and trapping floating oil film

The oil slick collecting method from sea water utilizes a conduit-shaped vessel (1) dragged across the liquid surface, resulting in a flow (F) through the conduit and a trapping of an ever increasing depth of the floating film. The inlet for the bi-layered liquid and the outlet (4) for the separated lower layer locate fore and aft of the vessel respectively with the former aligning centrally w.r.t. and parallel to the liquid surface and the latter locating in the vessels base substantially below surface level. The vessel cross sectional area increases w.r.t. distance aft of entry, inducing a deceleration of the flow, and a baffle plate (5) covering and inclined w.r.t. the outlet plane induces a hydro-dynamic depression and reduction of exit vortices, thus enhancing the separation.

The line of oil booms includes, at a distance from each other, a number of anchorage points (4) for anchoring the oil boom (3) onto the sea bed and, in addition, between the anchorage points and in conjunction with the oil boom there is an oil collecting station (5) for collecting the oil directed by the booms from the surface of water.

Oil-spill-combatting water craft

An oil-spill-combatting water craft for recovering oil which is present on the surface of water. The water craft has at the water level at least one water inlet and, secured just behind this inlet, a collecting boom (2) which extends forwards and outwards, directing water to inside the craft, where there is a separating device (5) for the recovery of the oil from the water. In the water craft of this type the difficulty so far has been that, when the craft travels at a somewhat higher speed, water pressure in front of the boom tends to rise so high that some of the oil-contaminated water (3) "escapes" under the boom (2). According to the invention, this is prevented by arranging, for at least part of the water from which the oil has been separated and which discharges from the craft, an outlet just behind the collecting boom (2). For the rest of the discharging water there is preferably arranged an outlet which is located further towards the bow than is the inlet.

Device for removing oil slicks

Oil floating on a body of water is collected by moving a shallow-draft water craft, such as a barge, having a sternwardly slanted bow section and below the water line an ingress opening in or near the bow section through an oil slick. The slant of the bow section forces oil in its path downwardly thereby causing the oil, possibly intermingled with water, to flow as a flat layer along the bottom of the barge. As the oil reaches the ingress opening it is propelled into a hold of the barge due to the pressure differential between the outside and the inside of the barge. Oil thus accumulating in a hold of the barge may be removed therefrom from time to time and clear water as may also enter the hold is returned to the body of water.
