Mechanism Investigation on a Novel Oil Recovery Skimmer Coupling Free Surface Vortex and Cyclone Separation

In consideration of offshore oil spill accidents, a mechanical method is kind widely used treatment methods to recover spilled at sea. It also has the advantages low cost, convenient use, and environmental friendliness. order improve recovery efficiency content liquid recovered, novel philosophy coupling surface vortex hydrocyclone separation was proposed, small-scale prototype manufactured. Medium crude from Bohai field applied as test property skimmer. The experiment results show that skimmer able effectively on sea speed up process recovery. Pressure overflow pipe sensitive pump frequency, flow rate inlet, split ratio. addition, port influenced by amount Besides, linear relationship found between experimental study can provide technical reference for small water great significance design equipment.
