Realisticstable Water-In-Oil Emulsions at Ohmsett

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the first two phases of a multiphase study to create predictable stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions at Ohmsett including a lab study and a large tank-scale study. The first stage of the study refined the process of creating, characterizing, and testing small batches of W/O emulsions under controlled and reproducible conditions in the laboratory to determine if the ...

Study of the dispersion/settling of oil–mineral–aggregates using particle tracking model and assessment of their potential risks

A random walk particle tracking model was used to simulate the motions of oil–mineral–aggregates (OMAs) under hydrodynamic conditions involving wave–induced velocities, random velocities due to ...

Ecobarrier® Oil Booms

Oil booms are primarily used to protect marine areas from the damage caused by oil discharge. They can be implemented in ports, harbors, pipeline and intake projects, to protect them from oil spills. In addition, they also serve to protect marine areas from unwanted debris.
