  • Patent number: 11248355
    Abstract: This application relates to a multifunctional recovery apparatus of shore adhesion oils. The multifunctional recovery apparatus of shore adhesion oils removing and recovering oil spilling and sticking at a shore is mounted on a four-wheel vehicle. A skimmer assembly separating oil sticking to the surface of rocks at a shore, and absorbing and recovering an oil spill at the shore is installed at the front of the four-wheel vehicle. The skimmer assembly includes a rotary skimmer having a rotary roller separating oil, and a vacuum suction skimmer suctioning oil floating on a water surface. The rotary skimmer and the vacuum suction skimmer may be selectively or simultaneously used, if necessary.

  • Patent number: 10927519
    Abstract: A recovery system for large-scale spilled oil flowing onto and adhered to a shore is disclosed. The recovery system for large-scale oil flowing onto and adhered to a shore is mounted on an amphibious vehicle that can move on a neritic zone and land. A skimmer assembly is installed in a front of the amphibious vehicle. An oil collection assembly is foldably provided on each of front opposite sides of the amphibious vehicle, thereby easily collecting oil. A recovered oil treatment assembly is mounted on the amphibious vehicle and configured to accommodate the oil recovered by the skimmer assembly therein and to store separated oil by separating water from the accommodated oil.

  • Patent number: 9334625
    Abstract: Disclosed is a buffer system for mining a deep seafloor mineral resource. The buffer system includes a hopper part that introduces and stores a crushed mineral resource to discharge the crushed mineral resource upward, a first pipe that communicates with an upper portion of the hopper part to introduce the mineral resource, a feeder part provided under the hopper part to discharge the mineral resources upward, a second pipe that communicates with the feeder part and lifts the mineral resource, a hydraulic part provided under the hopper part to convert power received from a surface boat into hydraulic power to operate at least one actuator and a driving motor to introduce the mineral resource into the first pipe, and a structure frame coupled to a lifting pipe to transmit an external load applied to the buffer system, and constituting an external frame of the buffer system to protect internal units.
