A photo from open sources European experts have initiated international project, within the framework of which it was developed original technology to remove seas and oceans from the surface oil spilled by tankers. Engineers created a special floating “trap”, which resembles the principle of the operation of a household mop.
Today, there are several ways to eliminate from the water. oil spills, however they require a significant investment of money, time and effort, therefore the governments of many countries, even the most civilized, prefer not to bother with this problem and they just wait until the oil dissolves itself or transfers flow into the water area of another state, becoming its head pain.
“Oil Mop” created by Europeans, flaws virtually no and is quite inexpensive. Invention is a polypropylene unsinkable network that composed of many tiny loops. Plastic material perfectly absorbs oil products, repelling water. “Mop” is not special buoys are required to keep it on the surface. She is absolutely not afraid of the weather, since the network easily repeats contours of waves, without ceasing to fulfill their functions.
The invention is able to eliminate several species from the oceans. petroleum products. The volumes of retained flammable liquid may fifty times the weight of the mop itself. After filling the loops the “mop” must be removed from the water, squeezed carefully, draining oil to the tanker, then spread out again on the surface of the sea or the ocean. Recovered petroleum products can be used at destination.
