Abstract: An arrangement for disposing of contaminating matter floating in a fluid. A recovery-separation tank is used with an inner water surface lower than that of the outside. The floating matter, such as oil floating on the surface of water outside the recovery-separation tank, is drawn in through an inlet of the recovery-separation tank. The floating matter and the water are separated into layers which flow into the recovery-separation tank and a drain pump discharges the water lying in the lower portion of the recovery-separation tank.
