Patent ID: 7597800

Claim:
A buoyant immiscible pollutant remediation apparatus for use in a body of water comprising: a cryogenic fluid source adapted for providing a cryogenic fluid, the cryogenic fluid source supported by a deck; a cryogenic fluid dispenser structure coupled to the cryogenic fluid source and supported between two substantially parallel buoyant members, the cryogenic fluid dispenser structure comprising at least one cryogenic fluid dispenser adapted for dispensing cryogenic fluid in a substantially condensed phase, and wherein the cryogenic fluid dispenser structure is proximate to the water at a first end and coupled to the deck on a second end, wherein at least one cryogenic fluid dispenser comprises a drizzle bar comprising at least one hole array; a conveyor belt disposed between the two buoyant members adapted to receive and transport at least some immiscible pollutant that was exposed to substantially condensed phase cryogenic fluid by the cryogenic fluid dispenser structure; and a waste tank, coupled to the conveyor belt, adapted for storing collected immiscible pollutant.
