Abstract
An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment especially marine areas due to human activity. Oil is the most common pollutant in the oceans. Oil spill have a devastating and long-term impact on water ways and coastal areas around the world. Oil spill can be partially controlled by chemical dispersion, combustion, mechanical containment and adsorption. These days there are so many import and export business are going in the world. Because of expansion of business and shipping by seas in the cheapest mode it’s used on large scale due to huge cargo shipping these are so many cases of oil spill in the sea. World has witnessed big oil spill accidents into the oceans and made huge impact on the industries as well as the ecosystem. Due to these oil spills there were so many deaths if sea mammals and bird species. After oil spills creates a slick (a thick layer of oil) that ensure the sunlight and oxygen pass through water. It affects the life below the water due to lack of oxygen and sunlight. As some of the oil are dangerous and poisonous they are quite harmful for human too when it comes to physical contact with them. This paper deals with the separation of oil and water to find out the better solution for oil recovery from the water surface mixture empress oil spill to produce oil free water. There are different methods to remove the oil form the water but disc type oil skimmer is mostly used and efficient. The oil skimmer is used to separate oil, from mixture of aqua and oil. It causes highly acidic alkaline and salty environment remains a great challenge to aquatic organisms and also pollute the coastal area. Every year 706 million gallons of waste oil enter the water resources and pollute the environment. Sea water has been polluted due to oil spillage, it also affects the water bodies. It the oil spill increase it result in serious damage to environment. About 90% of contaminated oil can be removed by continuous separation of oil by skimmer.
