SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING OIL SPILLED ON THE WATER Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC E04H4/16 

FIELD: building construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to collect oil and similar liquids that have spilled over the water surface of natural and artificial reservoirs, rivers and seas. The result is achieved by a system for collecting oil spilled over water, including one or more interconnected overflow sections, each of which contains internally inclined overflow grilles installed at intervals, connected by evenly spaced transverse slats fixed to the upper, inward-facing horizontal shelves of overflow grilles, along the lower, outward-facing horizontal shelves of overflow grilles, the longitudinal edges of inward-facing overflow mats interacting with overflow grilles are laid, and the longitudinal edges of the pallet hanging down, wedge-shaped in cross-section, made of elastic moisture-proof film, pressed tightly with profile strips, while the end parts of the pallet are assembled overlapping and fixed along the extreme connecting the overflow grilles of the slats, a drainage pipe with fittings at the ends is laid along the bottom of the pallet for connecting flexible hoses pumping oil-purified water from the pallet with one or two electric pumps, to one of the upper horizontal shelves of the overflow grilles, a block of two sensors is fixed, made on a fiber-optic basis, the sensor located at the bottom of the unit controls the activation of the electric pump, the one located at the top controls the shutdown of the electric pump when the minimum permissible height of the oil layer is reached, the sealed hollow float cylinders supporting the overflow sections are installed in the gaps between the overflow sections and are fixed to them with belts threaded into the eyelets of the upper and lower horizontal shelves of the overflow grilles, while in order to regulate the level of immersion in water of the overflow sections under the belts, in their lower part, sinkers or floats of a shape curved along the radius of the float cylinders can be laid.

EFFECT: creation of a system for collecting oil and similar liquids that have spilled over the surface of natural and artificial reservoirs, rivers and seas.
