Abstract
ABSTRACT The Emergencies Engineering Division (EED) of Environment Canada, the Marine Spill Response Corporation, the Canadian Coast Guard, the United States Coast Guard, and the United States Minerals Management Service funded a project that resulted in the development of a new standard performance testing protocol for oil spill sorbents. As a continuation of this project, work is being performed to develop a protocol for testing sorbent booms in a containment configuration at the EED test tank facility in Ottawa. The protocol includes elements to test the behavior of sorbent booms using various currents, oil loading rates, and oil viscosities. The protocol will be proposed as a Canadian test standard and eventually as an international standard.
