DEVICE FOR COLLECTION OF FLOATING HYDROCARBONS FROM WATER SURFACE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC E02B15/04 E02B15/06 

FIELD: oil-and-gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: device consists of two oil intakes 1, collected oil tanks 2 and float 3. Said oil intakes 1 consist of oil collection drums 4 mounted at carcasses 5 in supports 6. Chutes 5 are provided at carcasses 5 to discharge oil from drums 4 into tank 2. Tank 2 is mounted at carcass 10 and accommodates hydraulic drive 11 with drum reduction gear. Besides it comprises water-driven pump 12 to force collected oil and arrangement of pipelines for power carrier feed and discharge. Carcasses 5 of oil intakes 1 are connected with carcass 10 of tank 2 to allow adjustment of their relative position within 46 to 180 degrees. Float 3 is mounted at the frame connected to carcasses 5 and 10. Outer surfaces of drum inner rings 16 have no grooves and are shorter relative to outer rings 9. Cavities of inner rings 16 and tube spaces 17 of drums 4 on both ends are plugged by bottoms 22. Cavities make chambers 18 to feed power carrier in their tube spaces at one end and, from opposite end, chamber 19 to discharge condensate therefrom. Devices to remove oil from oil intake surface of outer rings 9 are composed of combs 7 secured along drums 5 at chutes 7. Carcasses 5 of oil intakes and carcass 10 of tank 2 are equipped with wheel pairs 35. Collected oil is forced from tank 2 into oil storage tank.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
