High performance oil spill recovery system suitable to effectively operate in rough sea waters based on improved oleophilic/hydrophobic materials (Force7)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
Force 7 aims to develop an innovative oil spill recovery system for operation in rough sea conditions.The new system is based on the use of interconnected mops to create a large, wide mop net which will maximize the oil encounter rate on the surface of the sea whilst it is dragged to adsorb the slick. The system is extremely versatile because it only requires one vessel to operate and that can be ...
