Description

In recent years there are lots of oil accidents happening in the ocean and it makes a huge impact on the environment. Sea accidents can further cause oil pouring and causes pollution. During the transportation of crude oil, it requires safety measures in port terminals. So it becomes necessary to develop the oil separator system. Here we propose a solution for the recovery of spilled oil on water surfaces with an unmanned surface vehicle. It is operated by using electrical energy produced by a Solar panel. Belt skimmer system is developed in which it consists of a belt. The system is tested and it regains most of the oil in the water.
