OSTI ID:6136330
A skimming mechanism is designed to remove all or part of a layer of oil floating on the surface of water. A pivoted receptable having a weir is buoyed to position the weir adjacent to the interface of the liquids. Liquids accumulating in the receptacle are withdrawn for disposal. A stabilizing member extends around a substantial portion of the periphery of the skimmer to prevent submergence of the weir due to wave or current movement of the liquids. (9 claims)
