Oil spill collection boom of ship based on negative pressure principle

Abstract

Abstract The oil boom has played an important role in the control of ship oil spills, but the oil spill often spreads fast and the control ability of the oil boom is limited. If the oil spill cannot be absorbed and processed in time, the traditional oil boom is difficult to grow. This work designs a new type of oil spill collection fence based on the principle of negative pressure. The main function of this device is to control the area of oil spill area and recover oil spill in time. The device is a unit system and can be folded, which is convenient for the ship to store the device. The device is mainly composed of a water surface oil spill collector, a new type oil boom, a pressure pump and a ship’s fast oil-water separation device. The oil control part relies on the function design of the traditional oil boom to enable timely control of oil spill on the water surface. The oil spill recovery function is realized by the cooperation of a surface oil spill collector based on the principle of negative pressure and a new type of oil fence. Compared with the traditional ship oil spill treatment, the device studied in this project has the characteristics of timely, fast and recoverable oil spill. It can make a significant contribution to maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem.
