LIQUID TRANSPORT MEMBER FOR HIGH FLUX RATES BETWEEN A PORT REGION AND AN OPENING

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of oil removal and transport comprising the steps of: absorbing the oil into a bulk material, the bulk material having an inlet region and an outlet region, by passing the oil into the inlet region of the bulk material through a membrane; and removing the oil from the outlet region of the bulk material; wherein the membrane has an average pore size not greater than 100 micrometers so that the oil is continuously transported through the membrane into the inlet region of the bulk material and continuously removed from the outlet region of the bulk material into a reservoir. The invention also relates to an oil removal and transport device suitable for use in the method.
