The traditional methods of clearing an oil spill are not much effective due to their hazardous drawbacks therefor the aim of this project is to build an time saving and cost efficient mechanism which can clear oil spill in minimum amount of time.

1. SICA SS NO.2

3. LEAK OF OIL FROM OIL TANKERS
CAUSES OF OIL SPILL

4. NATURAL SEEPS FROM OCEAN FLOOR
CAUSES OF OIL SPILL

5. MOTOR BOATS AND JET SKIES
CAUSES OF OIL SPILL

6. EFFECTS OF OIL SPILL
HUMAN EFFECT
AN OIL SPILL CAN CAUSE AN IMMEDIATE FIRE HAZARD AND
ALSO CONTAMINATE THE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY.
EFFECT ON ECONOMY
THE MAJOR EFFECT OF OIL SPILL IS SEEN ON THE
ECONOMY. WHEN PRECIOUS CRUDE OIL OR REFINED
PETROLEUM IS LOST, IT AFFECTS THE AMOUNT OF
PETROLEUM AND GAS AVAILABLE FOR USE.

7. EFFECTS OF OIL SPILL
EFFECTS ON MARINE PLANTS AND ANIMALS
SPILLED OIL FORMS A THIN LAYER ON WATER SURFACE WHICH
BLOCKS THE ENTERING OF SUNLIGHT INTO THE WATER BODIES
DUE TO WHICH PLANTS ARE UNABLE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND
FOOD CHAIN GET DISTURBED.

8. TRADITIONAL METHODS USED TO
CLEAN OIL SPILL
o CONTROLLED BURNS
o SURFACE DISPERSANTS
o SORBENT MATERIALS
o BOOMS AND SKIMMER
o MARSH CLEAN UP TECHNIQUES –
• VACCUM PUMPING
• LOW PRESSURE FLUSH
• BIOREMEDIATION

9. BOOMS AND SKIMMER
DESCRIPTION
BOOMS ARE USED TO COLLECT OIL IN CONCENTRATED
AREAS WHILE SKIMMER SEPRATE THE CRUDE FROM
WATER.
DRAWBACKS
IT AFFECT THE WATER DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS ,
THUS CAUSING NATURAL DISASTER.

10. SURFACE DISPERSANTS
DESCRIPTION
DISPERSANTS ARE THE CHEMICALS THAT ARE SPRAYED ON A
SURFACE OIL SLICK TO BREAK DOWN OIL INTO SMALLER OIL
DROPLETS , WHICH ARE MORE READILY TO MIX WITH WATER.
DRAWBACKS
IT AFFECT THE LIFE OF AQUATIC ANIMALS AND PLANTS BY
CREATING HARMFUL ATMOSPHERE.
IT MAKES WATER TOXIC AND POISONOUS FOR HUMAN

11. COMPONENTS OF MACHINE
OIL VALVE FOR TRANSPORT
HYDARULIC MOTION SYSTEM

13. CASE STUDY
THE GULF OF MEXICO
DEEP WATER HORIZON OIL SPILL

14. CASE STUDY
THE GULF OF MEXICO
DEEP WATER HORIZON OIL SPILL
BEGAN ON : 20 april 2010
AMOUNT OF OIL SPILLED : 210,000,000 gal.
TIME TAKEN TO RECOVER OIL SPILL : 87 DAYS
METHODS USED : BOOMS & SKIMMERS, CONTROLLED
BURNING, DISPERSANT

15. CASE STUDY
THE GULF OF MEXICO
DEEP WATER HORIZON OIL SPILL
IF OUR METHOD WAS USED
CAN BE RECOVERED IN A SHORT DURATION OF TIME
LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL CAN BE RECOVERED
ECONOMICALLY CHEAPER
MINIMUM DAMGE TO ECO-SYSTEM

16. HOW OUR METHOD IS BETTER?
COST EFFECTIVE
ECO FRIENDLY
CAN WORK BOTH IN STATIC AND WAVY WATER
TIME SAVING
AND LAST BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT
WE CAN USE THE RECOVERED OIL.
