Provided is a toothed drum type oil recovery device, which includes: a recovery drum having a center coupled to a rotary shaft and having a plurality of tooth units formed around an outer circumference thereof, wherein one side of the recovery drum is disposed in the water to which oil is spilled so that the oil is recovered by the tooth unit at one side of the recovery drum according to the rotation; and a separation unit containing an oil separating liquid and disposed at the other side of the recovery drum, wherein when the tooth unit moves onto the oil separating liquid at the other side of the recovery drum according to the rotation of the recovery drum, the oil separating liquid is introduced into a space between the tooth units adjacent to each other by means of a capillary action to separate the oil from the tooth unit.

An oil spill retrieval system for retrieving spilled oil from the surface of a body of water and including a boat having means for collecting the oil from the water surface and having means for processing the collected oil. A pontoon boat that collects spilled oil from the ocean through a hair roller system suspended between the pontoons. Human hair is present within a porous casing of the roller and Oil floating on the water enters the porous casing whereupon the oil is absorbed by the human hair, wherein the absorbed oil is pass through one or more pipes to go into large pontoons which are the main oil collecting tanks on the pontoon boat.

A harvesting system for harvesting aquatic plants in or floating on a culture medium a harvesting bed configured to be circulated in and out of the culture medium. An actuator circulates the harvesting bed, a scraper positioned against a surface of the harvesting bed scraps the aquatic plants on the harvesting bed and a channel transports the aquatic plants removed by the scraper toward a collection vat. The collection vat receives the aquatic plants transported via the channel.

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.

Two segments according to the invention, which form a brush structure created by brush fibres and plastic rings, are joined together by bolts or screws and sleeves with a water-permeable discoid hub, in such a way that a separate brush structure can be joined to the segments by stud bolts or similar, to the metal ring of which a plastic ring, equipped with brush fibres, is attached for the collection of very heavy oils. For the cleaning of the brush fibres of the segment and the good recovery of the oil being collected, there is a curved metal sheet, preferably on supports, as a continuation of the cleaner, and which forms a casing-like space, preventing the oil flowing off the brushes from returning to the water circulation and improving the collection capacity. The device is suitable, for instance, for the collection of all grades of oil, with continuously changing properties.

An oil skimming device for the removal of oil located at the surface of a body of water includes a float, at least one skimming surface, a sorbent material, at least one scraper, and a motor. The float is arranged such that the device rests on the surface of the body of water from which the oil is to be removed. The at least one skimming surface is rotatable about an axis such that when the device is floating in the water a portion of the ridged skimming surface is above and a portion of the skimming surface is below the water surface. The sorbent material is removably attached to and substantially covers the skimming surface. The sorbent material is configured to rotate with the skimming surface and to sorb oil as the skimming surface is rotated.

A portable oil skimmer includes a collection unit configured to collect spilled oil while floating on the surface of the ocean. The collection unit includes a main body configured to allow a first oil-skimming member to be rotatably mounted on the front end thereof, a second oil-skimming member to be rotatably mounted on the rear end thereof, and a pipe to be connected to the upper portion thereof so as to communicate with the interior thereof, a pair of buoyant bodies mounted on two side surfaces of the main body, with the main body interposed therebetween, and an oil pump disposed in the main body and configured to convey oil collected by the first oil-skimming member and the second oil-skimming member to the outside of the main body through the pipe.

An unpowered-filtering sewage cleaning device includes a sewage discharge mechanism, a water conveyance mechanism, a filtration mechanism, a water guidance mechanism, a water discharge mechanism, a support mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a main transmission shaft, a clutch mechanism, and an auxiliary transmission shaft. The main transmission shaft is mounted with the auxiliary transmission shaft through the clutch mechanism. In case of disengagement of the clutch mechanism, the main transmission shaft rotates, while the auxiliary transmission shaft does not rotate. In case of engagement of the clutch mechanism under a pressure, the main transmission shaft drives the auxiliary transmission shaft to rotate coaxially. The water conveyance mechanism, the filtration mechanism, and the water guidance mechanism are mounted with the main transmission shaft. The sewage discharge mechanism is mounted with the auxiliary transmission shaft. The unpowered-filtering sewage cleaning device has a simple structure.
