Oil collector

This oil collector is constructed, as a steel pyramid with a valve on top, to descend onto oil leakages, primarily from damaged electricity cables. The pyramid is shaped to prevent fishing equipment from attaching onto it; thus the drain valve is integrated and covered.

The pyramid is a temporary solution only to be used in the case of acute oil leakage to protect the environment until the damaged cable is repaired. The pyramid can hold up to 6.3 m3 oil before requiring emptying.

In addition, the pyramid is useful for leakages from ship wrecks, and was recently used at the oil disaster from the Chinese freight ship Fu Shan Hai wrecked north of Bornholm (2003)
