Sea Oil Separator with Disc and Belt Skimmer

Investigation of a novel parameter that considerably enhances the performance of disk and Belt oil skimmers is introduced. During the operating of crude oil, the transportation of crude oil requires the adoption of safety measures in port terminals. At sea accidents are further serious cause of oil pouring and cause of pollution. By careful optimization of the angle between the plane of the disk and the vertical plane, hence the efficiency of a conventional disk oil skimmer get doubled and this parameter is same as in belt oil skimmer. Therefore, this is particularly significant as it requires only a minimum effort to modify existing disk and belt skimmers. Results revealed in the presence of a minimum immersed area required for the offset angle to be effective. Around 80rpm optimum rotational speed was found, regardless of the design or operating parameters applied. The belt and disk skimmer will allowed the recovery of a high percentage of hydrocarbon in comparison to the traditional oil skimmers. The study of largest disk diameter , belt width and the oil film thickness of 20mm, obtaining the maximum improvement of 204% in oil recovery rate.
