Definitions
- This invention relates to a collection and separation apparatus for removing oil and the like from a water surface or particles floating freely in a water phase, which apparatus is provided with two gables which are stationarily arranged at a distance from each other on a shaft which is rotatably arranged in a frame and intended to be driven by a first driving motor, the apparatus comprising an elongated trough, open upwards, which is stationarily arranged in the frame and has a form which is like a lying, hollow circular-cylinder with the portion of the jacket surface, which is directed upwards, cut away, and a helical means, which is driven by the first driving motor or by a second driving motor, being arranged in the trough for removal of collected oil.
- a similar apparatus is previously known by Swedish patent 8300189-1.
- the known apparatus comprises one single means in the form of a net for collection of oil.
- the known apparatus can only be utilized for oil of a certain type of thickness which is determined by the size of the meshes of the net.
- This invention intends to remove this problem and offer an apparatus which makes possible a very effective collection of oils/liquids of different viscosity lying on the water surface. This has been made possible by an apparatus of the kind mentioned by way of introduction which is characterized by the combination of the following features:
- the apparatus at least comprises two shovel-formed collection means which are arranged between the gables and fastend to these ones;
- the first collection means comprises a square-formed or a rectangular-formed net or filter cloth which has a curved design and has an inner and an outer edge which are essentially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the trough, the inner edge of the net/filter cloth being intended to stroke against the jacket surface of the trough, whereas the outer edge of the net/ the cloth projects outside the trough a good distance for achieving a large sweeping area;
- the second collection means comprises a plurality of means, which are like jalousie ribs, and which are positioned one after the other along an imaginary, arched connection line, the second collection means comprising an inner edge which is intended to stroke against the jacket surface of the trough;
- Fig 1 shows a perspective view of the apparatus
- Fig 2 shows a section of the apparatus, taken along the line II-II of Fig 1
- Fig 3 shows a schematic illustration of the way of action of the apparatus. Referring to Figs. 1, 2 is shown there the new apparatus.
- This one comprises two gables 1, 2 which preferably are circular and stationarily arranged at a distance from each other on a not shown shaft which is rotatably arranged in a frame 3.
- the shaft and the gables 1, 2 are intended to be driven by a not shown first driving motor.
- a helical means 5 which is intended to be driven by a second driving motor is arranged in the trough 4 for removal of collected oil.
- the apparatus at least comprises two shovel-formed collection means, but preferably three shovel-formed collection means 6-8, as is shown in the drawing, or more. These collection means are arranged between the gables and fastened to these ones.
- One collection means 6 comprises a square-formed or rectangular-formed, perforated net which is suitably made by so called expanded metal, whereby the net is provided with meshes of a certain size.
- the collection means 6 may comprise a filter cloth, the filtration ability of which can be of varying degree. It is also possible to have an embodiment comprising the combination of perforated net/filter cloth.
- Each net/filter cloth has an inner edge 9 and an outer edge 10 which are essentially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the trough 4.
- the inner edge 9 of the net/filter cloth is intended to stroke against the jacket surface of the trough 4, whereas the outer edge 10 of the net/the cloth projects outside the trough a good distance for achieving a large sweeping area.
- the outer edge 10 of the net/the cloth reaches out essentially as far as or farther than the peripheral areas of the circular gables 1,2.
- Each net/filter cloth has a curved design, the curve being made in the rotational direction of the net/the cloth. Due to that fact each collection means functions as a ladle which brings the water mixed with oil/particles towards the trough at the center of the apparatus.
- Each one of the two shovel-formed collection means 7, 8 comprises a large number of means 11, which are like jalousie ribs and which are positioned one after the other along an imaginary, arched line.
- the number of means is preferably at least eight in each collection means 7,8.
- the means 11 have a convex outer periphery and a concave inner periphery. This design results in that the convex part of the means 11 pushes away the water when the collection means 7,8 brake through the water surface, whereas the concave part of the means 11 surrounds the oil, which due to the density difference strives up through the water layer towards the water surface. Due to that fact the oil is effectively forced in towards the center of the apparatus and gets into the trough 4.
- the collection means 7, 8 in similarity with the means 6 comprise an inner edge 12 which is intended to stroke against the jacket surface of the trough 4 in order thereby to improve the feed of separated oil into the trough 4.
- the collection means 7, 8 have an outer edge 13 which is positioned at essentially the same peripheral distance from the center of the apparatus as the outer edge 10 of the collection means 6.
- the means 11, which are like jalousie ribs, of each shovel-formed collection means 7, 8 are in line along the width of the entire apparatus from gable 1 to gable 2 and overlap each other. This has the consequence that enclosed oil can not leak out but is all the time due to the design of the shovels forced in towards the trough 4 in the center of the apparatus. Due to the fact that the means 11, which are like jalousie ribs, overlap each other, an increased capacity of the ability of oil colletion and a better enclosure of the oil during its movement towards the center of the apparatus is achieved.
- the angle of the means 11 in relation to an imaginary, arched connection line for the means 11 in each collection means 7, 8 can be varied between 0-45°. Due to that fact the possibility to separate media with different viscosity is improved.
- the collection means 6-8 have such a position in relation to each other that a balance arises in the collection apparatus. This means that when there are two collection means these ones are angularly displaced in relation to each other about 180°. When there are three collection means, as is shown in the preferred embodiment, the angular displacement between the means is about 120°.
- Fig.3 the collection apparatus have been provided with a bottom plate 14 and a plate-formed back part 15. Due to that fact also pollutions, being further down in the water can be led in towards the shovels for a further separation from the water.
- the collection means 6-8 are intended to rotate in the direction of the arrow I ⁇ _ at the same time as the apparatus moves forwards in the direction of the arrow P 2 .
