| Description |
There has been increasing shift to use BioFuels (bio-diesels, and gasoline/ethanol blends) in the worldwide marketplace. The different physical and chemical properties of these products in comparison to the petroleum products they are replacing leads to the issue of response countermeasure actions in the event of a BioFuel spill. In order to pursue testing and implementation of BioFuel response techniques at Ohmsett, the facility’s operating systems and protocols for traditional oil spill response must be reviewed, compared, and possibly modified, to adapt to the potential requirements for BioFuel response techniques testing. |
