Abstract

Oil spills are a source of pollutants that can spread quickly in water. Therefore this effort to deal with oil spills has attracted the attention of many broad communities. In this paper, we developed a tool for handling oil spills called an oil skimmer with a rotary disc as a component for taking oil spills on the surface of the water. The oil skimmer is designed to float above the surface of the water and can be controlled in the direction of its movement from a distance by using a joystick. To achieve this goal, the oil skimmer is equipped with a propeller driven by a DC motor which is connected to the Arduino Mega 2560 as the controller. The testing process is carried out by varying the speed of the rotary disc on three different types of fuel spills (pertalite, pertamax, and diesel). The amount of oil collected by the oil skimmer is then determined in volume using a measuring cup for each experiment. Finally, the characteristics and the effect of the rotary disc speed on the oil skimmer on the volume of oil collected is examined to determine the performance of the oil skimmer.
