OIL SPILL RECOVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD

[Category : - MECHANICAL ENGINEERING]
[Viewed 2507 times]

An oil spill cleanup system has a vessel, a separator within the vessel for separating oil and water, a pump for pumping an oil/water mixture into the separator, and one or more probes and submersibles having hoses connected to the pump, for collecting the oil/water mixture. The separator has two or more adjacent tanks, for containing the oil/water mixture. Gravity separates the oil from water in the first tank and the water is evacuated from the bottom, while the oil overflows in the second tank, having an increased oil concentration, and so on, until the concentrated oil is evacuated. A mobile oil platform is also disclosed, having a subsea well connected to a hose, which carries oil to a vessel. The vessel receives the oil and is exchangeable with an empty vessel when full. When the vessel drops the hose, floats maintain its location.

Financial information

I wrote the concept that has been applied to solve the oïl Spill crisis in the gulf of Mexico in summer 2010 after BP failed to come up with a plan to recover the spilled oïl. The concept was published on June 13th 2010, successfully tested on June 14th 2010 and adopted in front of the newsmedia by the american authority on June 15th 2010.

I improved the concept which has then become the standard procedure in the oïl Spill recovery industry and got a patent in Canada and in USA for my work. Now, I want t0 licence the product and make some profit out of my investment.
