Japan government is renewing old oil recovery vessels with new concept. The oil recovery vessels are available on the open sea, but unworkable in a narrow space. We have developed a handy oil recovery system which is portable and used for supplementing the weak point of the oil recovery vessel. The system consists of a water jet oil-skimmer and a gravity oil/water separator. The oil skimmer has a high-pressure water jet pump inside the suction mouth and a long shaft which is used as a conduit of the recovered fluid as well as a spring-hanging device which enables an operator to easily manipulate it from the deck of the ship. After 3-year research and experiments, we have completed the system successfully. The system will be soon installed on our oil recovery vessels. © 2004 IEEE., 金沢大学大学院自然科学研究科環境創成, 金沢大学工学部}, pages = {1464--1469}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, title = {Development of a handy oil-skimmer}, year = {2004} }
