Download or read book Multicomponent Evaluation Test of Harbor Oil Spill Recovery System written by D. J. Graham and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development work performed by other governmental agencies does not evaluate and recommend equipment for operation use in oil spills. An urgent current need exists within the Navy for a systematic evaluation of available oil spill recovery components individually and in combination as an oil recovery system for Naval Harbors. This report and a companion narrated 16 mm film summarize results of the initial project under a continuing NAVFAC program to fill this Navy need. The main emphasis of this program currently underway at NCEL is a comparative evaluation of oil spill containment booms, skimmers, and related equipment resulting in the recommendation of a harbor oil spill recovery system for Navy use.

Download or read book The Use of Dispersants in Marine Oil Spill Response written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-04-24 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and challenges. The oil type and properties, location, time of year, duration of spill, water depth, environmental conditions, affected biomes, potential human community impact, and available resources may vary significantly. Also, each spill may be governed by policy guidelines, such as those set forth in the National Response Plan, Regional Response Plans, or Area Contingency Plans. To respond effectively to the specific conditions presented during an oil spill, spill responders have used a variety of response optionsâ€"including mechanical recovery of oil using skimmers and booms, in situ burning of oil, monitored natural attenuation of oil, and dispersion of oil by chemical dispersants. Because each response method has advantages and disadvantages, it is important to understand specific scenarios where a net benefit may be achieved by using a particular tool or combination of tools. This report builds on two previous National Research Council reports on dispersant use to provide a current understanding of the state of science and to inform future marine oil spill response operations. The response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill included an unprecedented use of dispersants via both surface application and subsea injection. The magnitude of the spill stimulated interest and funding for research on oil spill response, and dispersant use in particular. This study assesses the effects and efficacy of dispersants as an oil spill response tool and evaluates trade-offs associated with dispersant use.

This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Gulf of Mexico recovers from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural resource managers face the challenge of understanding the impacts of the spill and setting priorities for restoration work. The full value of losses resulting from the spill cannot be captured, however, without consideration of changes in ecosystem services-the benefits delivered to society through natural processes. An Ecosystem Services Approach to Assessing the Impacts of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico discusses the benefits and challenges associated with using an ecosystem services approach to damage assessment, describing potential impacts of response technologies, exploring the role of resilience, and offering suggestions for areas of future research. This report illustrates how this approach might be applied to coastal wetlands, fisheries, marine mammals, and the deep sea-each of which provide key ecosystem services in the Gulf-and identifies substantial differences among these case studies. The report also discusses the suite of technologies used in the spill response, including burning, skimming, and chemical dispersants, and their possible long-term impacts on ecosystem services.

Download or read book Engineering Concept Evaluation Program for High Seas Oil Spill Recovery written by Barrett Bruch and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tests of a proprietary Lockheed oil spill recovery device with various oils, under forward way with and without waves, established a method for estimating oil recovery and verified scaling of forward way to be by the square root of the device diameter and oil recovery rate by the 5/2 power. Oil recovery can be maximized by concentrating the slick to 1/3 in. The rate varies linearly with ingested slick thickness to below 0.005 in. Tests established that the device will recover 70 percent of any oil thickness encountered on a single pass. This can be increased by successive passes to 90 and 97 percent. However, if oversupplied, it will bypass the excess. Use of 2000 ft of containment booms with an 8-ft-diameter, 10-ft-long device in 5-ft waves and a 2-kt current would allow recovery of 18,500 bbls per day and less than 25 percent additional free water from a 0.006-in-thick light oil slick. Viscous crudes and heavy emulsions can be recovered at respectively double and five times the rate for fresh diesel. The device does not create emulsion. Oil recovery remains substantial up to 5 kt in calm seas, an important attribute if fast currents and restricted seaways are encountered. (Author).

Download or read book Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Arctic waters north of the Bering Strait and west of the Canadian border encompass a vast area that is usually ice covered for much of the year, but is increasingly experiencing longer periods and larger areas of open water due to climate change. Sparsely inhabited with a wide variety of ecosystems found nowhere else, this region is vulnerable to damage from human activities. As oil and gas, shipping, and tourism activities increase, the possibilities of an oil spill also increase. How can we best prepare to respond to such an event in this challenging environment? Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment reviews the current state of the science regarding oil spill response and environmental assessment in the Arctic region north of the Bering Strait, with emphasis on the potential impacts in U.S. waters. This report describes the unique ecosystems and environment of the Arctic and makes recommendations to provide an effective response effort in these challenging conditions. According to Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment, a full range of proven oil spill response technologies is needed in order to minimize the impacts on people and sensitive ecosystems. This report identifies key oil spill research priorities, critical data and monitoring needs, mitigation strategies, and important operational and logistical issues. The Arctic acts as an integrating, regulating, and mediating component of the physical, atmospheric and cryospheric systems that govern life on Earth. Not only does the Arctic serve as regulator of many of the Earth's large-scale systems and processes, but it is also an area where choices made have substantial impact on life and choices everywhere on planet Earth. This report's recommendations will assist environmentalists, industry, state and local policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of this special region to preserve and protect it from damaging oil spills.

Download or read book Evaluation Test of a Small Harbor Oil Spill Retrieval Systems written by D. J. Graham and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evaluation test was conducted to obtain performance data and develop an acceptance test procedure for a small oil spill retrieval system requiring no more than two men for its deployment and operation. It was found that the use of a simple, floating gravity separator provides a 6.8 to 1 reduction in fluid volume recovered by the simple weir-type SLURP skimmer. This reduction of oil-water volume allows the use of a compact, collapsible 300 gallon storage bag in the ved of a standard 3/4 ton pickup for recovery of small harbor oil spills. The present combination of a SLURP skimmer, single diaphram pump, floating separator and collapsible storage bag can be effectively deployed by two men from a single pickup truck. A reproduceable test procedure was delineated for use as a first article acceptance test for this type of equipment. (Author).
