Device for the removal and damming up of lighter fluids floating on fluids of higher specific gravity, especially of oil floating on water

摘要

According to the present method a local overspeed is produced in the vicinity of the interface between the two liquids by means of a special apparatus, either actively by a moving component or passively by the relative incident flow. As a result of this overspeed the lighter liquid is conveyed in the desired direction and is optionally dammed back in front of a retaining wall.
