Efficient
methods of cleanup
and breaking down
crude oil in seawater |
|
|

Introduction:
Every year a variety of
accidents to oil tanker ships and other oil related facilities in
the sea contaminates seawater with billions of gallons of crude
oil. Each crude oil spill accident destroys marine life and
makes the shore line unusable for humans and other animals. There
are known mechanical methods for controlling the oil spill and the
recovery of oil, however a large amount of oil will remain and
must be treated to reduce its harm. |

Project
description:
In this project you research mechanical methods of cleanup and chemical methods of treating
what is left from an oil spill after an initial mechanical cleanup. The purpose of
such treatment is to reduce or stop the harmful effects of oil or
destroy the oil by converting it to other safe forms. |
