Oil spills happen to behave differently from case to case. Even during
one spill response operation, the conditions change from area to area
and also over time. Therefore you cannot count on – for instance in a
marine spill - one specific type of boom, or one type of skimmer, for
the collection and recovery of the oil. Mainly for marine spills, but
also for land spills, you must have at your disposal a selection of
equipment and products which combined will meet the demands for a well
prepared contingency.
Therefore this chapter of
the Response Handbook will describe the most common types of oil spill
equipment , -tools , and -products, such as the most relevant types of
booms, skimmers, pumps, dispersants, absorbents, storage facilities,
vessels, etc. |
