FLOATING DEVICE FOR COLLECTION OF SPILT OIL IN WATER Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC E02B15/00 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: floating device includes housing installed on floating facility with assembly of brush plates rotating in vertical plane, facility to remove oil from brushes, reservoir for collected oil and hydraulic pump, driven equipment and hopper. Floating device is made in the form of two longitudinal floats and provided with hot-water boiler. Housing is installed between floats with possibility of vertical and longitudinal back-and-forth movement relative to floats and it is provided with projecting barriers with braces. Driven equipment is located in housing and provided with hydraulic cylinders of its vertical and longitudinal movement. Behind housing there are tunnel-like casings with protection bottom plates.
