“…This size dependency for the BE has also been observed when comparing other large [13][14][15][16][17] and small scale [16,19,20] studies. Large scale experiments are known to have higher regression rates than smaller scales [38,39], peaking at a diameter of 1-2 m, and it is speculated that the highest BEs can only be obtained for pools above this size.…”

“…While high BEs of up to 99% have been achieved in both laboratory and large scale field experiments [13][14][15][16][17], lower BEs as low as 40% have also been reported [18][19][20]. As these experiments have been performed under widely varying conditions, such as differences in temperatures, oil types, oil amounts and the weathering state of the oils, it is difficult to determine which factors are responsible for these BE variations.…”

“…In addition, the water surface cannot be rough, and the location of burning should be safely away from the residential areas, flammable objects, the coasts, living organisms habitats, etc. Such conditions occur in Arctic areas, since low temperatures limit the movement of water, the dispersion of stains, and evaporation of volatile components [17]. The main advantages of in situ burning are: low costs, high removal efficiency in a relatively short time (100-300 tons per hour).…”

Application of Mineral Sorbents for Removal of Petroleum Substances: A Review

et al. 2017

Environmental pollution with petroleum products has become a major problem worldwide, and is a consequence of industrial growth. The development of sustainable methods for the removal of petroleum substances and their derivatives from aquatic and terrestrial environments and from air has therefore become extremely important today. Advanced technologies and materials dedicated to this purpose are relatively expensive; sorption methods involving mineral sorbents are therefore popular and are widely described in the scientific literature. Mineral materials are easily available, low-cost, universal adsorbents and have a number of properties that make them suitable for the removal of petroleum substances. This review describes recent works on the use of natural, synthetic and modified mineral adsorbents for the removal of petroleum substances and their derivatives from roads, water and air.

“…Previous ignition studies have focused on either the thermal properties (Chen et al, 2014), the weathering of crude oils (Fritt-Rasmussen and Brandvik, 2011;Fritt-Rasmussen et al, 2012) or a 2017 INTERNATIONAL OIL SPILL CONFERENCE 3 combination of evaporation and the ignition delay time (Wu and Torero, 1998). A parametric study on the ignition of crude and refined oil in their various weathering states in terms of their thermal properties has to the knowledge of the authors not yet been performed.…”

The thermal properties and burning efficiencies of fresh and weathered crude oils and a refined fuel oil were studied in order to improve the available input data for field ignition systems for the in-situ burning of crude oil on water. The time to ignition, surface temperature upon ignition, heat release rate, burning rate and burning efficiency of two fresh crude oils fires, however, was estimated to be about 17 kW/m 2 , for which the burning efficiencies were < 80%. These results indicate that the increased heat feedback to the fuel surface is not the only factor that increases the burning efficiency for large scale fires compared to laboratory experiments. Additional factors such as feeding of surrounding oil into the fire by buoyancy induced wind flows into the hot smoke plume are probably also contributing to these increased burning efficiencies.
