SYSTEM FOR COLLECTION AND LOCALIZATION OF OIL IN WATER MEDIUM Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC E02B15/04 E21B43/01 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: proposed system is made in the form of a dome representing truncated cone having 4, 5 or 6 faces, in the center of the cone there is a round hole with a sleeve connected thereto by means of a connecting ring. The sleeve is formed of separate webs fastened thereto by fastening devices connected to the sleeve by means of connecting rings, and held in the vertical position by floats attached to the connecting rings. The system is installed under water, above the emergency oil or oil discharge area, and fixed by means of anchor ropes attached to dead anchors provided on the bottom, in the area of emergency oil discharge. A boom barrier is mounted on the water surface around the sleeve upper edge, and is fixed to the dead anchors from the bottom by means of anchor ropes, and holds the sleeve upper edge the center of the guard by braces, at that the sleeve upper edge does not reach the water surface and allows oil or oil products to rise and spread over the surface of the water area bounded by the boom barrier. This system can be used at any depth where production and pumping of oil is performed. The dome design makes it possible to fabricate thereof in large dimensions and thereby to cover larger area on the bottom. This system can be installed above sunk ships, and can collect oil or petroleum products flowing thereout and does not interfere repair operations for emergency objects.

EFFECT: creating a simple, lightweight, compact, fast and easily assembled mobile system for collecting and localizing oil, oil products flowing from the underwater emergency wells, pipelines, fractures in sea bottom and from sunk ships.
