  2. ET - ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES OPK - Oil Spill Protection Kit • Spills can happen in the open sea, close to shores, or in lakes, streams and rivers. • How the spill is cleaned up depends on where it happened. • One cc. of petrochemicals can contaminate 106 cc of water, so oil spills require an immediate response. • When oil enters the ocean it quickly begins to change and disperse. • It is a global environmental problem, specially to countries with coastline like Portugal.

  3. ET - ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES PRODUCT PRESENTATION • The OPK, consists in four flutuable boxes with chemical agent • and a sensor based monitoring system. • Activation System Unit - Main Control Box, 2 inclinometer sensors, 6 impact sensors • Floating Device - Four flutuable containers with chemical agent (FOA) • FOA - floating oil agglomerating agent • The four containers will be applied around the main vessel as seen in diagram 1.

  4. ET - ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES other technologies • Mechanical containment or recovery. • booms, barriers, and skimmers, as well as natural and synthetic sorbent materials. • booms and fences are often of little use in the open seas. They cannot contain a spill when there are big waves or strong currents. • Chemical and biological methods • Dispersants and gelling agents are most useful in helping to keep oil from • reaching shorelines and other sensitive habitats. • These methods have side effects for the environment and are usually toxic. • In situ Burning • collect and burning the oil.

  5. ET - ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES Operation Procedure ( see diagram 1) • The Activation System Unit has two operation modes : automatically - by a inclinometer based sensor or impact sensor, with time delay mechanism for optional aborting procedure manually- in case of automated operation failure or if some spill ocurrs during charges and discharges operation.
