Abstract

Fishing and tourism were affected by this spillage. The environmental effects of such oil spills are not negligible as this is a global problem now days. So there is need of an effective way to clean this oil from the surface without actually wasting it. This paper represents the project work carried on development of flat belt type oil skimmer. We have developed a compact mechanism for collect oil from water with the help of belt in minimum period of time. Collected oil can be reused for many
purposes. This oil skimmer is invented because of low cost, high compatibility, and use for rough. This set up uses the DC motor, polymer belt, pulley, supporting frame, polyurethane blade. We have made changes in the existing machine to make its application easier at reduced cost. Our main aim is reduce cost and control pollution control, attained through this Project work. Now, in industries, to separate oil from other things like coolant and water, we use oil skimmers. There are various methods for this, of which belt type oil skimmer is one of the majorly used.
