OSTI ID:7113784
According to the patent application, an apparatus is provided which can effectively broadcast oil sorbent material at a controlled rate uniformly over an oil slick for the purpose of removing the oil from the water's surface. The device comprises a rotating cylinder of wire mesh having an endless belt disposed therein. The endless belt contains compartments which are filled with the sorbent materials. When the top side of the endless belt is filled, the endless belt is rotated about an axis, thereby uniformly distributing the sorbent material within the wire mesh cylinder. The rotating wire mesh cylinder distributes the sorbent materials over the drop area at a controlled rate.
