Abstract
ABSTRACT Two prototype oil recovery systems currently under construction are described. Design goals for the systems include air transportability, recovery of a complete range of oil types at 2000 gpm in a sea state 4, use with a Coast Guard developed boom and Coast Guard boats and ships. One system utilizes a rotating disc-drum for oil removal. The drum is mounted in a unique catamaran which utilizes inflatable pontoon hull sections. Oil recovery rate is dependent on viscosity, slick thickness, current and wave conditions. In all conditions efficiency is expected to approach 100 percent. The second system utilizes a wave conforming weirbasin. Oil recovery rate is primarily dependent on slick thickness and current. Efficiency is expected to approach 100 percent for all conditions.
