Empirical data and optimal monitoring policies: the case of four Russian sea harbours
In this paper, we describe the present state of empirical information about oil spills and oil monitoring activities in Russian harbours. We explain how we gathered, organised, and estimated the data needed to run the monitoring efforts optimisation model of Deissenberg et al. (2001). We present, analyse, and discuss the results of the optimisations carried out with this model on the basis of the ...

New DESMI Smart Boom - Superior Monitoring Boom Technology
The system combines proven DESMI oil spill containment boom with the Boom Guard Monitoring Buoy, an oil pollution monitoring device used to monitor for the presence of oil pollution within the boom containment area. If oil pollution is detected, the buoy transmits an alert via Iridium satellite in real time. The buoy also monitors location and heading and should the SMART BOOM drift, the buoy ...

An empirically tractable model of optimal oil spills prevention in Russian sea harbours
Based on previous theoretical work by Gottinger (1997, 1998), we propose a simple model of optimal monitoring of oil-related activities in harbour areas that is suitable for empirical estimation within the Russian— Ukrainian context, in spite of the poor availability of data in these countries. Specifically, the model indicates how to best allocate at the steady state a given monitoring budget ...

New oil spill response application note from China
The Problem: Oil may spill out in the process of oil exploration & development, refining, storage and transportation and enter into open water environment like oceanic environment due to incident or incorrect operation. Oil spill damages include to human heath, safety, ecological environment, aquaculture. In China, the State Oceanic Administration requires the oil content in the discharge to ...

A Guide to Oil in Water Monitoring for Environmental Compliance
Applications for industrial oil in water monitoring can vary greatly. In upstream and midstream oil and gas production applications, monitoring separation efficiencies is key to optimize production rates, preventative maintenance, chemical use, flow, and environmental compliance. Separated water from the oil is called produced water and it must be cleaned of oil before disposal or re-injection. ...

Petrobras - Offshore Oil Field Monitoring - Case Study
Realtime offshore oil field monitoring for detection, verification, and classification of oil types brings the industry from a reactive to proactive behavior. Early warning, day or night, with exact levels of hydrocarbon in the sea. No more false positives / alarms from OSD radars; no more waiting for satellite. No more water sampling that needs to be sent to the lab. Ocean Visuals has been ...

Offshore oil spill clean up case study
In the event of a major incident occurring offshore, for example a tanker casualty running aground or breaking up for any reason, it is of paramount importance to deploy emergency response to protect and save human life. Once this has been done an assessment of the casualty should be made on whether it is possible to salvage the vessel and its contents and to assess the type and amount of oil ...

Oil Skimmer technology offers pollution solution that saves money instead of raising operating costs
Oil skimming is a simple, dependable and effective means of removing oil from water. And unlike some other processes, it offers users the potential for major cost savings. At Schenectady Chemicals Canada, Ltd., plant manager Fred Soukereff estimates that his company has saved $ 5,000 annually by using the skimmer instead of former methods of waste removal. "The real saving, however, is in the ...

Groundwater Remediation System Cleans Up Oil Spill
A customer in TX was recently in some hot water with the local municipal water department. Due to excessive rains near the coast of Texas, the water levels have been higher than usual. The company fills storage tanks with diesel at its facility. However one day the tanks were overfilled and instead of going into the ground, they diesel dispersed out via the high rain water and into the local ...

Skimmer with rolling stand helps prevent oily water discharge
Despite continuous replacement and upgrading of fittings, it is difficult to entirely eliminate hydraulic and lubricating oil coming from machines during normal operations and maintenance activities. This oil ends up in different pits used to collect wastewater throughout the plant. Because of high oil content, city officials would not allow plant wastewater to enter the Longmont sanitary sewer ...
