Performance testing of selected inland oil spill control equipment. Final report, April 1975--March 1976

OSTI ID:6887412
Standardized performance tests were conducted at the Environmental Protection Agency's test facility, OHMSETT, with various off-the-shelf inland oil-spill control and clean-up devices. Operability limits were defined and then quantified via testing for eight boom systems and eight stationary skimmers. This information allows those concerned with spill control to match the proper equipment with the existing environmental conditions (wave characteristics, current, and oil properties) associated with an oil spill in inland waters. Boom systems were tested in the catenary (U) configuration for oil collection capabilities and in the diversionary (J) configuration for fast current oil diversion capabilities. Booms were first tested for stability capabilities over a wide range of wave conditions without oil and then in wave conditions within their operational stability limits with oil. Booms and stationary skimmers were tested in the same wave conditions and oils. Two test oils were used--No. 2 Fuel Oil and Sunvis 75 Lubrication Oil (without additives).
