Abstract: It concerns the invention of a pressure vessel (VP) which can be assembled from individual parts, and basically comprises: a plurality of wall modules (MP), at least one connection module (MC) for pipes or sensors, and closing modules (MF) that can be chosen from: have equal configuration and have different configurations. All of the modules have bores (105) distributed radially on their flat surfaces (101) and these bores (105) are distributed between a hollow drill (1051) with a seat (1151) and a torque screw bored (1052) (106) inserted therein attach a module to another adjacent module, with a sealing ring (104) therebetween.

Abstract: The invention relates to an active barrier (1) and a method for its use. The active barrier (1) is used to contain and to collect polluting material floating over bodies of water, such as river, lakes, lagoons, bays or open oceans. More specifically, the active barrier is used in a situation in that pollution is caused by a liquid lighter than the water and immiscible with it, such as oil. The invention comprises a plurality of floating containment modules (3) which are interlinked to form the active barrier (1). When the latter is used in the open ocean it is required to use two supporting units (2), e.g. two vessels, to surround the mass of floating polluting material. Each containment module (3) is provided with collecting tubes (33), into which impeller modules (411) displace in a predetermined direction. The impeller modules (411) may be continuous or spaced apart.
