Tiny Oil Skimmers Can't Handle BP Disaster

It is likely that as many as 200 million gallons of crude oil gushed from the BP before the relief wells to stop the horror.

Most leak oil remains on the surface and that in due time to get to the beaches of all five Gulf States. A significant portion of leaked oil will remain in the deep waters of the bay for a very long time and will kill most aquatic life. The second part will escape into the atmosphere and will cause damage to residents living near the bay.

spill drags on more and more time oil, more oil will be driven by wind and waves towards the coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. The second part of the oil will be carried out by the bay currents Keys will be released in the North Atlantic, and will reach the east coast of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.

A well-designed oil boom, with large and deep floating skirts, can protect the bay estuary and keep covered with oil and tar balls from reaching the beach as long as the waters remain calm. Almost none of weathered crude disappears.

Therefore, it is mandatory that almost all the toxic debris is removed as quickly as possible, from the waters of the Gulf. Otherwise, more than 100 million gallons of dirty, sticky and oily gunk will foul the beach, to destroy the commercial and sport fishing, and cripple the tourism along the Gulf States for years before the rest escapes through the Straits of Florida.

incomprehensible, even the oil industry, or responsible agency of the U.S. Federal thought it was necessary to develop high performance, large capacity oil skimmers that are able to not only operate in calm waters, but are also capable of resume his duties when the winds pipe and get rough. Worse, even the oil industry, Minerals Management Service of the Department of the Interior, or U.S. Coast Guard is thought to be necessary to put all the programs in place that will reliably protect the Gulf States from the inevitable damage that leaks oil and the damaged tankers can inflict on one of the the most beautiful natural resources of the United States.

European countries like Holland, Germany and France have developed such skimmers to perform duties under generally difficult conditions in the North Sea. Actual experience has shown that large, specially designed, oil skimming vessels may be collected and taken on board as much as 2000 barrels per day for several consecutive days of implementation.

flotilla of ten boats skimming with advanced capabilities and support a small fleet of vessels lightering potentially could have kept the BP oil spill has a very small area around the Deepwater Horizon is drilling platforms.

It seems quite feasible for a single vessel to collect as much as 5000 barrels per day with a technologically advanced and probably a totally different boat designs.

Unfortunately, such equipment options are not available at the date and failure, and absolutely no effort is expended by the place of such vessels in service as quickly as possible.

lightering vessels are able to transfer from time to time reasonably dewatered mixture of crude oil skimmers and can facilitate 24 / 7 skimming duties. Since the oil must be transported in specially designed separation and storage on land due to lightering vessels can steam only moderate speeds, a major tanker fleet must be in continuous operation for storing the collection of oil skimmers continuously.

In early July, Taiwan ship "Whale" has arrived in the bay named for sucking up oil and water and splitting it on board. With a length of more than a thousand feet and 175 feet of air it has a huge shift, and can keep close to 2 million barrels of crude oil.

It is only natural that it is very strange vessel was greeted with much anticipation. Initial tests in the rough water have been inconclusive. It is very likely that the concept of skimming devices installed on the tanker will work immediately as designed.

All it can do is hope that this great ship with its deep draft and their huge tanks can be installed skimming workable options and can deliver on its promise of clean surface waters of the Gulf soon. Even in case of failure, its Taiwanese owner has shown a move that was missing the efforts of his American and British counterparts, taking a big financial risk to the suffering inhabitants of the Gulf of Mexico

bay to another such hero. Deepwater oil drilling is in desperate need of a design for high-containment dome that can reliably prevent the leakage of oil from reaching surface waters. Continued drilling at depths that can not be accessed by human divers is the death penalty for the second zaljeva.Misao oil and break in deep water to give a halt to even the most greedy oil interests.

After all, the citizens of the Gulf are suffering for one and one reason only. Satisfying greed several tax preference operator sentenced the entire Gulf region for years of suffering and financial hardship!
