Abstract
A kit for converting a conventional passenger catamaran into an efficient liquid pollutant collector is disclosed. The kit includes a plurality of booms, removably extending forward of and away from the outermost of the hulls of the catamaran. The booms extend essentially parallel to the water and form essentially a V-shape extending away from the hulls of the catamaran. Skirts to contain the liquid pollutant between the booms and direct the liquid pollutant rearward are attached to and extend downward into the water from the booms. Also included is a wall which extends a short distance into the water between and near the stern of the hulls of the catamaran. In addition, a pump is connected to a manifold, which opens onto the surface of the water in front of the wall. The pump removes the liquid pollutant from the surface of the water through the manifold and moves the liquid pollutant into either a storage container or a processing system.
