Description
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for recovering clean water and clean air from a suspended solids recovery and separation apparatus and a suspended complex mixture of oil and other suspended contaminants. The restoration and separation process is performed at the removal site where the apparatus of the present invention is located.
Oil spills have a devastating impact on water quality, marine life and land near the spill. Most oil spill cleaners use very expensive transportation and separation techniques, which are slow, costly, difficult to use, not environmentally friendly, and have low oil recovery rates and oil recovery efficiencies.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a material restoration and separation apparatus which solves the above problems.
The present invention is based on the concept of modular transportability, in which a single unit or a plurality of units can be used together for a restoration operation and the unit (s) can be towed or transported on-site or placed on a ship, .
The present invention relates to a simple six-step process for recovering and separating primary by-products and secondary by-products from a complex mixture of clean water and clean air on the surface of the body of water and a second by-product of oil and other contaminants, Device.
The first step involves transporting a Material Recovery and Separation Container (hereinafter "MRSC") to the surface of the complex mixture, such as runoff oil, floating on the surface. The MRSC is composed of any material suitable for retaining contaminants removed from water, such as oil, which may be permeable to water and air. Suitable materials include geosynthetic fabrics wherein a variable netting size is used to hold micro- or nano-sized particles or can be used for fast flow unless micro- or nano-sized particle retention is desired Larger mesh sizes may be used. The MRSC is formed in a different configuration, such as a bag, cone, long cone, or tube having openings of different sizes defined by the fillfort size of the MRSC. The device parts for this step include, but are not limited to, hooks that support the MRSC running in a manual or automated rail system, MRSCs that are maintained and controlled by a manual or automated block and tackle system It is a carrying device that includes hooks to support the manually operated MRSC using a supporting hook, a manual hoist / trolly system or an automated crane / cart system.
The second step involves carrying the MRSC along the surface or other location of the complex mixture and collecting the complex mixture into the MRSC. Primary byproducts (clean air and clean water) begin to flow out of the sides and bottom of the MRSC almost instantaneously and passively with the compression of material inside the MRSC. The MRSC material is very lightweight and is easy to navigate while pulling the composite mixture while retaining the secondary byproducts (oil and other contaminants) that are suspended while collecting the floating secondary byproducts. The device for such a conveying step may be a device particularly suited to the use of the same device or water used in the first step. The second stage can be used in applications where the MRSC draws complex mixtures in water, such as oil columns, as well as applications where the MRSC draws the composite mixture surface at the surface.
The third step is to carry the filled MRSC away from the surface of the water. The apparatus for such a conveying step may be the same apparatus as used in the first step and may be replaced by another machine such as, but not limited to, a conveyor belt. Filled MRSCs can retain quantities of by-products from just a few gallons to hundreds of gallons depending on the size of the objects and containers being collected. Supplementary devices may be needed if the weight of the filled MRSC exceeds the lifting capacity of the first conveyor, or if the conveying at a high speed is the object.
The fourth step may include, but is not limited to, cinching, sewing, zipping, heat sealing, ultrasonic welding, spring elements or other means, And closing the filled MRSC using the same method. Spring clip / grommet lock closure method uses a bag or tube type MRSC with a grommet hole near the top of the charge port. A plurality of spring clips near the charging port edge of the MRSC are held in the closed position by a plurality of gathering, cinching and tension lines while the locked charging port and spring clip are pulled through the grommet hole. do. When the tension on the vowel, lock and tension lines is released, the spring clip is released to the open position to seal the fill port of the container.
The fifth step is to transport an MRSC filled with a lay-down area, such as, but not limited to, a platform or a bottom of a storage tank. The apparatus for such a conveying step may be the same apparatus used in the first step, and may be replaced by another apparatus such as, but not limited to, a conveyor belt.
Step 6 is an active or passive step to achieve additional removal of primary byproducts. The MRSC within the loading area will naturally passively remove primary byproducts through gravity and compression of the MRSC contents from the height of the individual MRSCs and any additional MRSCs stacked on top of each other. An auxiliary remover such as a scraper or roller can be used to speed up the primary byproduct removal process or to remove material from the outside of the MRSC. A filled MRSC containing almost only secondary byproducts can be moved away from the water for later pickup, or temporarily returned to the water.
The filled MRSC can be scraped off to remove the complex mixture from the outside of the MRSC while they are being transported away from the water or can be scraped off by the roller to remove primary by- products from the interior or exterior of the MRSC have. An additional large fill port MRSC may be placed under the conveyance zone to capture additional loss of material from the MRSC, or it may be placed under the conveyance equipment to prevent contamination from returning to clean water.
The civil engineering fiber is selected according to the desired permittivity (the flow rate of the water flow) and the desired water quality characteristics to meet the cost goal and water quality goals. Clean water and clean air can be immediately returned to the ambient environment or collected for testing or additional treatment.
The present invention uses inexpensive separating materials that meet inexpensive and easy to use delivery technologies and objectives. The whole process can be performed using mutually simple machines, and when a large amount is included, it can be performed more quickly and efficiently by the use of automation steps and more complex machines.

Two performance measurements are used to evaluate the device and its efficiency:
Estimated Oil Recovery Rate (ORR) and Oil Recovery Efficiency (ORE):
1. ORR: total amount of oil recovered by the unit per unit of time (water recovered in addition to oil was not included in the calculation).
2. ORE: the ratio of recovered oil to total recovered liquid
The above points are defined using the following formula.
ORR (oil restoration rate, gallons per minute (GPM)) = amount of oil / hour
OPE (oil restoration efficiency,%) = (oil amount / total liquid amount) × 100
Oil amount = restored oil amount, gallon (dehydrated)
Time = Elapsed restore time, minutes
Total liquid volume = total liquid volume restored, gallon (water and oil)
Variations of device parameters (MRSC size, mesh size of MRSC, size and shape of charging port, etc.) are ideally within the normal range of 30-50% ORE (when the purge rate is highest); Medium range efficiency of 50-70%; High range efficiency of 70% or more is allowed.
