Design and Fabrication of Solar Based Belt Type Oil Skimmer.

Abstract

Nowadays there are lots of oil accidents happening in the ocean and it makes huge impact on environment. Due to Sea accidents can further cause oil pollution. So the oil separator systems are necessary in such cases. Various oil separator systems are available currently all over. In oil separator systems belt is one of the most important components. Different types of belts are been in use in these systems. Performance and efficiency of these systems mainly depends on the type of belt & belt material use in the system. So it is necessary to study and analyze the performance of various types of belts in order to select proper belt for better performance. In this paper we are taking a review of various types of belt materials used, research work done on oil skimmers and their belt materials. In this project we use a transformer, gear motor, solar panel, battery, charge controller, pulley, bearing, load cell, conveyor belt and many things. The main purpose if this system is separate oil from water with a conveyor belt.
