| Description |
This is a Joint
Industry Project (JIP) with MMS, Environment Canada, Canadian Coast
Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard. Several United States and Canadian
government organizations have conducted research on the environmental
effects of burning oil in situ. Laboratory experiments have been
conducted and models developed to predict heat transfer, pollutant
generation, and field effectiveness. A number of large scale burns were
conducted to confirm these data and to provide information on
operational aspects. The objective of this research project is to
combine all the operational information into a practical manual so that
burning can be implemented by response organizations. |
