Current- or wind-driven buoy used for collecting an oil sample from a body of contaminated water has an emitter with a radar reflector, stabilizer and collecting line in the upper region

摘要

Current- or wind-driven buoy has an emitter with a radar reflector, stabilizer and collecting line in the upper region (1). An oil sample chamber is located in the central region (3, 4). The chamber is filled with an oleophilic material, such as polyethylene. Contaminated water is passed through an external sieve into the sample chamber. The body of the buoy is made from high grade steel.
