Project Number 109
Date of Summary December 31, 1990
Subject Oil Spill Response Equipment Performance Verification
Performing Activity Frank Weston and Associates
Principal Investigator Mr. Don Ewing
Contracting Agency Environmental Protection Agency
Estimated Completion Complete
Description The objective was to develop and verify an innovative test procedure for measuring the performance of offshore oil spill response equipment at sea, in the presence of an intentional oil spill. This evaluation was designed to verify the accuracy and reliability of a new nonpolluting and cost effective test procedure developed by Mason and Hanger under funding of the Oil and Hazardous Materials Simulated Test Tank (OHMSETT), Interagency Technical Committee (OTIC).
Progress Complete. This project was suspended with the closure of the OHMSETT facility.
