Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a new type of device that can separate mixtures of liquids like oil and water by creating a special kind of film called a "hydrophobic membrane". This makes it very useful because it has many advantages over existing methods. It's easy to use and can be used to remove harmful substances from tank floors and ponds. Additionally, this device could be scaled up to cover different areas where there are mixed fluids.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes various technical problem addressed in the patent text relating to the pollution caused by oil spills on lakes and oceans. Current methods involve removing oil and hydrocarbon substances from the water through physical scrapings or chemical treatments, which require expensive equipment and consume significant amounts of time. There is a need for a device that can adapt to different geometric configurations while maintaining ease of use and economy.
