«The measured throughput efficiency of the sweeper/canal/pool system was 91%.

With only minute loss observed it is believed that discrepancy is due to oil adhesion to the canal, and that the true throughput efficiency is higher»

RESULTS FROM TESTING AT OHMSETT MOS Sweeper with pool and Desmi skimmer

The below table lists the recorded performance data for the tests with the MOS Sweeper, with the pool and the Desmi Octopus with a DOP200 pump. All tests were with CALSOL oil (ca viscosity = 2000 cP, Density = 0,92) and at 2,5 knots without wave influence.

ACTIVE OIL SPILL RECOVERY SYSTEM MOS Sweeper 30, a result of a successful development project by the Norwegian company MD Group AS. A smart, innovative and active oil spill recovery system, especially designed for coastal environments.

MOS Sweeper’s unique functionality operates in waves up to three meters and strong currents, with towing speed of 4.5 knots

MOS Sweeper

Oil spills and potentially large-scale environmental disasters represent a daily challenge for the oil & gas industry worldwide. The MOS Sweeper technology consists of many well-tested principles from maritime industries. The V-shaped MOS Sweeper is designed to be operated from a single vessel. Towing with a speed of 4.5 knots, the design of the MOS Sweeper uses the law of hydrodynamics to recover the oil more efficiently and on nature’s terms.

MOS Sweeper has proven its strong

capabilities in harsh weather with high waves and strong currents.

The MOS Sweeper 30 consists of a self-contained 20foot container, that when opened can easily be deployed and in use within a matter of minutes from within.
