Abstract

Representative methods for removing spilled oil include mechanical skimming, chemical treatment, burning at the surface of the spilled oil, and microbiological degradation. Among these methods, mechanical skimmer is the most efficient. Mechanical skimming can be classified into the following categories: belt-type, disk-type, weir-type, drum-type. We designed models with a submerged orifice for use in our experiments, for an objective and systematic evaluation of the recovery efficiency of mechanical skimming. Basically, oil is lighter than seawater and hence tends to float on the surface of the latter if there is sufficient time for floating. The present skimmer is kind of wear-type with the submerged orifice for seawater to be squeezed through, minimizing water content in the tank. From the experimental results, we identify the parameters that influence the oil recovery rate and recovery efficiency. The recovery efficiency can be enhanced by increasing the thickness of the oil layer in the first oil accumulative tank.

사고로 해양에 유입된 기름을 제거하는 대표적인 방법은 기계적 회수, 화학적인 처리, 수면소각, 미생물에 의한 분해 등이 있으나, 2차오염의 가능성을 방지할 수 있는 기계적인 회수법이 최상으로 생각된다. 기계적 유회수 형태는 벨트, 디스크, Weir, Vortex, 흡입, 드럼, 브러쉬 방식 등이 있다. 저자는 합목적적인 방법으로 회수능력을 개선할 수 있는 실험을 위한 잠수공 모델을 만들었다. 본 스키머의 원리는 외부 액체(물과 기름)를 스키머에 유입시키면, 비중 차에 의해 기름은 뜨고 물은 가라앉는 것이다. 본 스키머는 탱크 바닥의 잠수공으로 물은 빠져나가 스키머 내에 물은 최소로 남고 기름은 모아 회수하는 위어타입의 혁신적인 것이다. 유회수량과 유회수율을 결과로 보였다. 유회수율은 1차 집유탱크의 기름층이 두꺼워지면 증가한다.
