Abstract
Over the past few years there have been many oil accidents that have occurred in the sea. Oil accidents can occur due to oil spill, drilling processes at sea or due to pipeline leaks. The oil in the sea will float and if not remove will damage the surrounding ecosystem. Therefore, in this paper implements an oil skimmer system which can be used to remove and separate oil from the water. The oil skimmer system is composed of a rotary disc to take oil on the surface of the water and two propellers to move the oil skimmer. The rotary disc and propeller are driven by DC motor which is connected to the motor driver and Arduino Mega as a controller. The oil skimmer is also equipped with a joystick that is used to adjust the rotation speed of the rotary disc and control the movement of the oil skimmer. Based on the results of testing the oil skimmer has been able to take and separate oil on the surface of the water with separation speed of 620.28 ml/min at a speed of 18 rpm.
