CH703221A2 - Device for removing liquid pollutants and oil spills from water in sea, has electronic controller for generating suction force to conduct contaminated water into pool, where force draws out water into purification pool - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has a drive system comprising an electronic controller for generating suction force to conduct contaminated water into a pool on a ship, where the suction force draws out the contaminated water through a suction pipe (1) into a purification pool with a cleaning filter. The pipe is directly utilized without an addition object e.g. bell-shaped attachment. A motor enables the contaminated water to be drawn into a plastic container and emptied into the purification pool. A bell (9) is made of clay or steel.

Description

Object:

The invention relates to a device which frees the water from liquid pollutants or leaking oil, etc.

Statement of the invention:

In order to protect the ecosystem, should fall over with oil and pollutants. Natural remedies are applied and no chemicals are used. The present invention relates to a device that can soak up the contaminated water in the depth of water (e.g., a borehole), drain it into a basin, and clean it with a filter so that the water can be released back into the sea without chemicals.

Disadvantage:

The expiring after an accident chemical or oily substances enter the sea and destroy fauna and flora. Chemicals are used to combat the disaster, whose long-term effects and possible damage are not researched and known. Furthermore, sealing substances such as dirt and cement are used, whose resistance and pressure resistance are largely unexplored.

Task:

The object of the invention is to absorb the leaking substances (for example, oil, etc.) as specifically as possible with an electronic suction device. The size of the device depends on the size of the accidented device (e.g., oil rig, oil drums, etc.).

Solution:

The objects are achieved by the features and devices of the claims, which are listed in this dossier.

Description:

[0006] An article as appropriate to the cover to be covered, such as a molded article. bell-shaped (preferably made of clay or other strong material) is attached to a steel cable and lowered with a winch to the leak. At the side of the hanger, the e.g. Bell is a hole with a rotary closure device (as in the oil tank) where a piece of hose is screwed in. In variant 1, the piece of hose extends from the surface of the water to the scene of the accident. In variant 2, i. in shallows, an air-free plastic container with a cleat attached to the hose piece, so that the clapper closes watertight. The plastic bag is only used when the distance from the sea surface to the leak device is too far. Otherwise the variant 1 i. only the hose used. Now, the polluted water with the help of an electronic drive system de. Sucked directly into a catch basin or sucked into a plastic container at shoals (Var. 2). The amount absorbed at Var. 2 was calculated exactly and sets the machine autom. as soon as this amount is reached. A one-way flap is necessary here to prevent the return of the liquid when the engine is at a standstill. Then the device is cranked to the water surface and emptied the contents of the plastic container into the catch basin. When shoals at Var. 2, (unless otherwise possible) uses a robot that can transport the device to the scene of the accident.

The catch basins may vary: e.g. a boundary directly in the sea with a device such. a plastic device like a swimming pool (catch basin drawing 1). Or the catch basin can be directly a pool on a ship (catch basin drawing 2a, b, c).

Advantages of the invention:

Advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims. The advantage of the invention is that no chemicals are used, that the sea can be cleaned in a natural way and that no unforeseeable explosions or reactions can occur when the accident sites are clogged.

Claims (5)

1. The shape of the accidentally injured object or the leak designed as possible, as opaque as possible, for example, bell-shaped object, provided with a hose and a e.g. Electronic suction device (driven by a motor), which sucks the polluted water as specifically as possible and transports it to a separate basin or pool on a ship. The whole device is e.g. About a winch on a steel rope or other strong rope in the water left. In this pool, the polluted water is a thin-meshed filter (in various ways, according to drawing 2a, b, c) pulled through the water and thus it cleans the water and the clean water can be returned to the sea. The drive system with an electronic control to generate a suction force effect is required to direct the water into the pool (similar to the vacuum cleaner but much stronger and applicable in water). This suction force draws the polluted water through the hose directly into the cleaning basin 2. 2. Device according to claim 1, wherein the hose can also be used directly without an additional object, such as a bell-shaped attachment 1. The shape of the accidentally injured object or the leak designed as possible, as opaque as possible, for example, bell-shaped object, provided with a hose and a e.g. Electronic suction device (driven by a motor), which sucks the polluted water as specifically as possible and transports it to a separate basin or pool on a ship. The whole device is e.g. About a winch on a steel rope or other strong rope in the water left. In this pool, a thin-meshed filter (in different ways, according to drawing 2a, b, c) is pulled through the water and thus it cleans the water and the clean water can be returned to the sea. The drive system with an electronic control to generate a suction force effect is required to direct the water into the pool (similar to the vacuum cleaner but much stronger and applicable in water). This suction force draws the polluted water through the hose directly into the cleaning basin. 2. Device according to claim 1, wherein the hose can also be used directly without an additional object, such as a bell-shaped attachment. 3. Apparatus according to claim 1 but in shoals, the polluted water is first sucked into a plastic container, which is then emptied into the cleaning basin. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 but in shoals, the winch can be replaced by a computer, which moves down the bell or the object to the scene of the accident. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the shape of the bell can be changed, depending on the shape of the objects with exiting substances.
