  • Patent number: 6105515
    Abstract: A device for enabling oil spill waste materials to be incinerated in situ is provided. More specifically, the invention comprises an incinerator for reducing to ashes, used oil spill sorbent pads, oilsocks, and other materials employed in cleaning up oil spills. The device consists essentially of a stainless steel drum lid and flue secured thereto, with a dome screen mounted on the flue. The outlet of a stainless steel tube is formed into a spiral coil and deployed in the flue with the end thereof turned downward into the drum to cause a continuous circulating action in the drum which action provides fast, complete or substantially complete combustion of the materials with little pollution and leaving a residue of only a few inches of ashes. The device is carried on a hand truck and the blower motor is contained in a housing which is fastened to the hand truck.

  • Patent number: 5314618
    Abstract: A single drum skimmer and a weir skimmer for recovering all types of oil from a surface of a body of water. An aluminum, high density polyethylene lined drum, floated by adjustable pontoons is rotated clockwise by a hydraulic drive motor, thus drawing the oil layer on top of the water, under and up over the drum to a high density polyethylene scraper blade where it is scraped off into a collection box. The oil runs to the corners of a collection box where it is suctioned off through suction hoses to a camlock "tee" fitting. The oil travels through a main suction hose to a peristaltic master pump which provides suction and discharge of oil from the skimmer to a vacuum dehydrator. An open topped, adjustable reservoir/weir collector has an opening in the front panel which may be opened for weir skimming, and closed for drum skimming.
