Multicomponent Evaluation Test of Harbor Oil Spill Recovery System.

Abstract

Development work performed by other governmental agencies does not evaluate and recommend equipment for operation use in oil spills. An urgent current need exists within the Navy for a systematic evaluation of available oil spill recovery components individually and in combination as an oil recovery system for Naval Harbors. This report and a companion narrated 16 mm film summarize results of the initial project under a continuing NAVFAC program to fill this Navy need. The main emphasis of this program currently underway at NCEL is a comparative evaluation of oil spill containment booms, skimmers, and related equipment resulting in the recommendation of a harbor oil spill recovery system for Navy use.
