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.
