Abstract
Nowadays there are so many imports and export business going on through in the world. In this business the shipping by sea is supposed to be cheapest mode. But with this shipping business there are so many cases of oil spill in the sea. Due to these oil spills, there are so many deaths of marine life and it also contributes in pollution. After an oil spill, it creates a slick that ensures the sunlight and oxygen pass through the water. It affects the life below the water due to lack of oxygen and sunlight. As some of oil are dangerous and poisonous, they are also harmful for humans too.[1] As a solution to these oil spills, there are types of oil skimmers such as belt type, rope type, drum type, disk type, etc. are used. Basically, oil skimmer is a device which helps to separate/ remove oil from water. This allows skimming media in the shape of a belt, disk, drum, etc. to pass through a fluid surface to pick up floating oil and grease with very little water. This oily material is subsequently removed from the media with wiper blades or pinch rollers. In these topics we are going to see different type of oil skimmers and their working.
