ABSTRACT

The development and testing of a now operational oil spill containment-recovery system is discussed.

Unique designs incorporated into the system include: (1) an oil spill containment harrier utilizing a “Bottom Tension” concept to increase containment effectiveness and survival strength; and (2) a wave compensating, weir type skimmer system utilizing a droplet formation process to recover high viscosity emulsions.

A testing program has described the operational characteristics of the system. The results of this program are presented. A typical operational “package” using the basic boom and skimmer components is discussed.
