A method includes coupling an oil spill collector to an offshore rig below a flare boom, the oil spill collector including a support beam coupled to the offshore rig and a collection device coupled to an end of the support beam, positioning the collection device below a burner nozzle of the flare boom such that the collection device is horizontally aligned with the burner nozzle, and collecting spilled liquid hydrocarbons in the collection device from the flare boom.

WATER SURFACE DEBRIS COLLECTOR
20210317628 · 2021-10-14 ·

A float assembly that can generate its inflowing water current for collecting water surface debris in a water body. Float assembly can be mounted to a fixed structure at the water body and includes a basket supported by a pair of floats buoyant in water. The basket includes a pump housed in a perforated housing, wherein the pump can be operated to suck water through the inlet also carrying the debris into the basket. The debris of a suitable size can be retained in the basket while the water is pumped out through an outlet. The basket can be switched from an operating state i.e., submerged in water to a stowed state outside the water upon the fixed structure.

A floating litter collection system for collecting floating debris from the surface of water flowing in a water stream, comprising a wire mesh container having an open front end, a first buoyant device secured to a first side of the container, a second buoyant device secured to the second side of the container, and a pair of mooring lines for anchoring the container to the water banks of the water stream. The system may include a pair of floating booms secured to the mooring lines to direct debris floating on the surface of the water into the container. The system may include a fin attached to the bottom of the container to orient the front end of the container in an upstream direction. The system may include a floating anchor to orient the front end of the container in an upstream direction.

COMPACTION ROPE STORAGE AND DISBURSEMENT SYSTEM FOR COMPACTABLE CONTAINMENT BOOM
20190127938 · 2019-05-02 · ·

A compactable containment boom with an elongated flotation portion and a weighted skirt has a pull through compaction rope guided internally down the center of the boom. Pulling on an end rope that extends outside the boom compacts the boom longitudinally in an accordion-like fashion. After the boom is compacted, the excess rope is coiled and stored in a pocket on an end of the boom. The pocket is then closed with a releasable and reusable closure to keep the rope inside, and a portion of the rope outside the pocket is tied off to a loop on an end fitting of the boom to keep the rope taut and the boom compacted. The boom alternatively may be compacted by securing the end of the compaction rope to a fixed location, then manually shoving or sliding the boom up the rope into a compacted state.

Stationary boom support system
10138612 · 2018-11-27 ·

A containment boom system for remediating an oil spill in a body of water includes a base support structure and a containment boom. An elongated rod has a proximal end and a spaced apart distal end. The proximal end is hingedly attached to the base support structure and extends laterally therefrom. A buoy is coupled to the distal end of the elongated rod. The buoy has sufficient buoyancy so as to remain floating on the liquid body while supporting the elongated rod. A reclamation loop is disposed in the water, a first portion of which is disposed in the oil spill and a second portion is disposed the water on the opposite side of the containment boom from the oil spill. The reclamation loop is continuously driven through a reclamation station, which removes oil therefrom.
