Author’s innovative solutions for developing installations and devices for cleaning water surfaces from oil pollution

In the context of increasing anthropogenic load and more frequent man-made emergencies, the problem of pollution of water bodies by oil spills is becoming one of the most urgent environmental tasks. Accidents during transportation and storage of petroleum products lead to the formation of large-scale oil slicks, causing the death of aquatic organisms, degradation of natural ecosystems and deterioration of the quality of life of the population. Environmental legislation provides for regular monitoring of water bodies, implementation of innovative treatment technologies, and operational measures to deal with to spills. The paper analyzes modern technical solutions for collecting and removing petroleum products from the water surface. Improved designs of emergency response devices are presented, characterized by mobility, the ability to fine-tune operating parameters and the integration of digital filling control systems. The effectiveness of the described technical means has been confirmed during the elimination of real accidents in the Far Eastern region, which made it possible to significantly reduce environmental and economic damage, increase the efficiency of response and minimize long-term ecosystem disturbances. The introduction of the latest mobile installations and the use of effective sorbents contribute to reducing the loss of biological resources, reducing the cost of restoration work and exchange experience between regions. The results obtained emphasize the importance of further development and implementation of innovations to improve environmental safety and protect water resources from oil pollution.
