Abstract
ABSTRACT Emphasis with most contemporary oil recovery schemes is directed toward recovering floating oil in as pure a form as possible at its source. Because of its operating characteristics, the jet oil recovery device described causes contact of jet water streams with the recovered oil and separates the fluids within it. This concept involves the utilizing of the surface tension characteristic of oil along with the hydraulic jet action to lift floating oil over a non-adjustable weir. As shown herein, a low pressure stream of water will carry with it an almost equal volume of contacted oil, depending on the type of oil, depth, jet angularity and outlet submersion, and other variable criteria. This paper is purely descriptive and findings reflect actual physical construction and tests only.
