Apparatus for removing oil slick from water surfaces
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6035164
A barge-like float has a forward end shaped to be in skimming contact with the surface of the water. Two series of booms of special construction are attached to the forward end of the float, and the booms extend out from the barge in substantially an inverted V formation. The booms are intercoupled with one another in a particular manner, so that the booms may ride ocean sweels without turning over, and without permitting the oil slick to seep under the booms.
