Apparatus for removing buoyant pollutants

An apparatus for removing pollutants floating atop a body of a coolant, the apparatus comprising:

• a filter including a housing, a plurality of partition sheets, and a plurality of filtering units positioned in the housing for removing the pollutants floating atop the body of the coolant, each filtering unit being separated into a first cavity and a second cavity by a partition sheet, the partition sheet being spaced apart from a bottom surface of the housing to define a communicating gap for the first cavity and the second cavity to communicate with each other;
• a pollutant removing structure positioned on the filter for removing the pollutants out of the filter;
• and
• a pump configured for pumping the coolant into the first cavity of the filter;
• wherein the filter further comprises a plurality of partition plates, the partition plates and the partition sheet are positioned in the housing in an alternating manner to form the plurality of filtering units, adjacent filtering units being separated by the partition plates correspondingly, each of the partition plates defining a plurality of through holes adjacent to a top portion thereof for adjacent filtering units to communicate with each other.
