DEVICE FOR REMOVING OIL PRODUCTS FROM THE WATER SURFACE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC E02B15/04 

FIELD: water surface cleaning.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a technique for cleaning the water surface from liquid contaminants, mainly from oil products. The device for collecting oil products from the water surface includes a cylindrical cup open from above, a means for creating a vortex funnel with a drive for its rotation, and a means for pumping out collected oil products. At the same time, the means for creating a vortex is made in the form of the aforementioned glass, equipped with means for moving it along the height, and the drive for its rotation is provided with a control unit. The output of the control unit is connected to the cup rotation drive, and its inputs are connected to the density meters of water and the collected oil product, the viscosity meters of water and oil product, the oil layer thickness meter and the means for measuring the depth of immersion of the top edge of the cup from the "water-oil" interface. The end face of the receiving branch pipe of the means for pumping out oil products is located below the upper end of the cup by the value H/2, where H is the height of the cup.

EFFECT: efficiency improvement.
