Oil Spill Response Technology: Evaluation Process

Abstract

The U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center (RDC) collaborated with the U.S. Coast Guard Office of Marine Environmental Response Policy (CG-MER) to develop a process to catalogue information regarding emerging spill response technologies in a standardized manner by pre-screening technology submittals against a set of fixed criteria. The Oil Spill Response Technology Evaluation Guidance (guidance document) is provided to assist CG-MER in evaluating the technical aspects of oil spill response technology submittals and focus on emerging technologies with TRLs rated as 7 or higher. In this report, RDC captures the development of the guidance document and describes the mock evaluation using the oil spill response technologies submitted to RDCs Interagency Alternative Technology Assessment Program (IATAP) in 2010 during the Deepwater Horizon event. RDC incorporated feedback from participants involved in this mock evaluation into the final version of the guidance document, which is included in this report.
