AN INNOVATIVE WAY TO CLEAN OIL SPILL

BALVIGYAN 2015-16

An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the

environment, especially marine areas, due to human activity. Where oil is

released into the ocean or coastal waters, but spills may also occur on land.

What is an OIL SPILL ?

LEAK OF OIL FROM OIL TANKERS CAUSES OF OIL SPILL

NATURAL SEEPS FROM OCEAN FLOOR CAUSES OF OIL SPILL

MOTOR BOATS AND JET SKIES CAUSES OF OIL SPILL

EFFECTS OF OIL SPILLHUMAN EFFECT

AN OIL SPILL CAN CAUSE AN IMMEDIATE FIRE HAZARD AND ALSO CONTAMINATE THE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY.

EFFECT ON ECONOMYTHE MAJOR EFFECT OF OIL SPILL IS SEEN ON THE

ECONOMY. WHEN PRECIOUS CRUDE OIL OR REFINED PETROLEUM IS LOST, IT AFFECTS THE AMOUNT OF

PETROLEUM AND GAS AVAILABLE FOR USE.

EFFECTS OF OIL SPILLEFFECTS ON MARINE PLANTS AND ANIMALS

SPILLED OIL FORMS A THIN LAYER ON WATER SURFACE WHICH BLOCKS THE ENTERING OF SUNLIGHT INTO THE WATER BODIES

DUE TO WHICH PLANTS ARE UNABLE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND FOOD CHAIN GET DISTURBED.

TRADITIONAL METHODS USED TO CLEAN OIL SPILL

o CONTROLLED BURNSo SURFACE DISPERSANTSo SORBENT MATERIALSo BOOMS AND SKIMMERo MARSH CLEAN UP TECHNIQUES –

• VACCUM PUMPING• LOW PRESSURE FLUSH• BIOREMEDIATION

BOOMS AND SKIMMER

DESCRIPTION BOOMS ARE USED TO COLLECT OIL IN CONCENTRATED AREAS WHILE SKIMMER SEPRATE THE CRUDE FROM WATER.

DRAWBACKS IT AFFECT THE WATER DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS , THUS CAUSING NATURAL DISASTER.

SURFACE DISPERSANTS

DESCRIPTION DISPERSANTS ARE THE CHEMICALS THAT ARE SPRAYED ON A SURFACE OIL SLICK TO BREAK DOWN OIL INTO SMALLER OIL

DROPLETS , WHICH ARE MORE READILY TO MIX WITH WATER.

DRAWBACKSIT AFFECT THE LIFE OF AQUATIC ANIMALS AND PLANTS BY

CREATING HARMFUL ATMOSPHERE. IT MAKES WATER TOXIC AND POISONOUS FOR HUMAN

IF OUR METHOD WAS USED

CAN BE RECOVERED IN A SHORT DURATION OF TIME LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL CAN BE RECOVERED

ECONOMICALLY CHEAPERMINIMUM DAMGE TO ECO-SYSTEM

HOW OUR METHOD IS BETTER?

COST EFFECTIVEECO FRIENDLY

CAN WORK BOTH IN STATIC AND WAVY WATER TIME SAVING

AND LAST BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT WE CAN USE THE RECOVERED OIL.
