The paper deals with recovery and separation of crude oil from sea water in case of oil spills. It is based on the principle of absorption of oil contaminated water by textile media followed by its extraction and separation of oil from sea water. Various textile composites are used for this purpose and the optimal fibre blend is found. Machinery and method for recovery of oil is analysed.
