OHMSETT services

Ohmsett`s unique testing venue plays an essential role in the development of new technology. We provide the perfect opportunity to evaluate new designs and prototypes, and to test the efficiency of new oil spill devices against a wide range of controlled oil spills with known characteristics. Ohmsett allows manufacturers the opportunity to learn more about their product by testing in real environmental conditions and real-time data analysis for equipment designers, allowing them to redesign and develop more effective procedures for responding to future oil spills.

Unlike field testing, researchers using Ohmsett`s facilities are able to control test conditions. Our large test tank can accommodate full-size equipment. Therefore, testing at Ohmsett produces more accurate and reliable results while avoiding the need for scale models. And, unlike tests that use popcorn, oranges, or other biodegradable substitutes for oil, equipment testing at Ohmsett can be evaluated under authentic conditions using real oil.

Controlling and collecting plastic waste from our waterways is an engineering challenge. It takes innovation to design a cleanup system that can collect, sort and compact the debris. At Ohmsett, our engineers are available to collaborate in the development of advanced technology to rid the waterways of plastic.
