Device for removal of surface contamination on water
A water surface contaminant removal device comprises a T-junction 2 whose arms are connected to the insides of one or more tubular members 3, wherein the tubular members each have a plurality of holes 4 through its wall to its interior. The T-junction has a third connection to a further duct, through which water and any surface contaminants, such as oils, flowing through the holes into the interior of the tubular members are pumped away. In one embodiment, the device comprises a hollow handle 1 and two tubular members each closed at one end and open at their other end which communicates with the T-junction. The interior of the handle is connectable to a pump (41, Fig. 6) to pump water and surface contaminants from the interior of the tubular members. In another embodiment, the ends of one or more tubular members are joined end to end to form a tubular main body (7, Fig. 2). In a third embodiment, the device is part of a boom for containing contaminants, each device having an upper lip or flange (19, Fig. 3) aligned with the axis of the tubular member, the upper lip or flange extending above the water line.
