BSEE Testing New Oil Burning Technology

The Oil Spill Research Program is testing new technology at the USCG’s Joint Maritime Test Facility

  • Mar 18, 2017

The BSEE’s Oil Spill Preparedness Division began testing new oil burning technology at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Joint Maritime Test Facility this week, according to a report.

The work is being conducted via a Worcester Polytechnic Institute grant.

"BSEE awarded the contract to the Institute in order to help find ways to improve in-situ burning” Stone said. “They have successfully developed a new type of heat-feedback system that improves the combustion of crude oil. While the research is aimed at reducing the emissions from in-situ burning, it also has potential to catch any unburned oil residue that could potentially sink to the bottom of the ocean."

The goal of the research, according to a press release, is to develop new methods and tools to improve the efficiency of controlled burns and reduce the amount of soot produced.
