Title: Systems for ameliorating aqueous hydrocarbon spills
Inventor: RINK GLENN R
IPC: C08L51/00
Filed: 1998-01-09
Granted: 2001-04-12
Abstract: One or more water- and oil-porous containers or sacks are made of a pair of mesh sheets affixed together and stiffened around their perimeter. The sacks can be partially filled with a multitude of tubular bodies made of an oil-entrapping polymer, which have their longest dimension parallel to an axial hole. A preferred material is composed of a combination of SBS and EPDM, formed by an extrusion technique, to create highly fissured generally cylindrical bodies. The sacks may be deployed in areas where oil is floating on water, such as where oil has spilled from tankers on oceans, seas, lakes, or rivers. When the bodies are afloat, oily water can pass through the axial holes of and around the bodies, maximizing the surface area contacted by the oil and minimizing gel blocking. After a time sufficient for the bodies in the sacks to adsorb oil, the sacks can be collected. Various deployment and collection methods are disclosed. After collection, the oil may be recycled; alternatively the sacks may be incinerated, to recover the energy content for use as power while disposing of the oil.

Title: Shrinkable plastics sleeves
Inventor: BLOMQVIST HARALD VILHELM
IPC: B29B7/00
Filed: 1980-06-20
Granted: 1983-12-15
Abstract: A method to manufacture heat shrinkable plastics sleeves having uniform shrinking properties across the sleeve is achieved. The sleeves are manufactured from a cross-linking plastics material by extruding a tube of the material at a temperature below the cross-linking temperature of the plastics material. The tube is cut into individual sleeve pieces the lenght of which corresponds to the length of the finished sleeve. The sleeve pieces are heated to the cross-linking temperature while keeping the pieces uniformly supported so that no deformation in the wall of the sleeves can take place. After the heating step the sleeves are removed from the supporting elements and are expanded while cooling to the desired diameter by placing the tube as a loop around two or more rotation parallel rolls which are moved away from each other.
