| 20110303616 | OIL RECOVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for recovering floating oil from the surface of a body of water includes a sump vertically movably mounted between a pair of spaced interconnected floating pontoons. A hydraulic system is coupled to the sump for lowering the sump into the water below the pontoons to a predetermined depth. The forward wall of the sump is angled down and back from an upper edge and a blade is hingedly attached along the upper edge of the forward wall. In use, the sump is lowered into the water until the blade is at the proper slice depth to separate floating oil from the surface of the water as the pontoons are drawn through an oil spill in a forward direction. The separated oil is deposited immediately onto the angled forward wall where gravity causes it to accelerate downwardly along the angled wall. This “gravity drop” tends to pull or urge additional oil across the blade and onto the angled forward wall to enhance the separation of floating oil from the surface of the water. A wave plate extends above and forward of the blade to maintain the slice depth as the system encounters waves and to prevent waves from crashing into the sump. | 12-15-2011 |
