Engineering Evaluation of Sorbent Dispensing/Collection System-Universal Mounting Arrangement.

Abstract

The success of the Sorbent Oil Recovery System in the open sea will depend greatly on its mode of transportation through the oil slick. This study was made to identify optimum vessels and mounting concepts. Sorbent system requirements were established from which candidate vessels were identified. Alternative mounting concepts were defined and evaluated which resulted in the recommendation of developing a new component arrangement which minimizes interaction between the Sorbent Oil Recovery System and the candidate vessel.
