But there is an oil spill it seems the containment and cleanup usually involves oil boobs floating barriers intended to contain the slick from spreading but that doesnt always work especially in high seas and bad weather now researchers from germany any iran have come up with a new idea. The sinking of the freighter ground america after caught fire off the Atlantic Coast of france in march was an environmental disaster heavy oil leaked and due to bad weather it was only possible to contain part of the kilometer long slick. Following accidents like this hold her own but how and from trace and Technical University and his team decided to look for ways to make oil spills harmless so called oil booms only work during good weather during rough seas the oil splashes over the booms. Was i dont mean to i dont think weve developed a method to absorb oil the oil binders can be deployed by plane or helicopter even in bad weather they can then be used to absorb the oil so the oil binders are made of absorbent wood fiber the procedure was developed in cooperation with researchers from the university as of rostock and leipsic and its incredibly simple the wood chips are thrown on to the polluted water and begin to absorb the oil after a few hours that oil is completely absorbed and no longer a danger to marine birds the procedure also works in conditions like those found on the high seas the oil binders had been tested in a way of what the university of rostock after nearly 4 days and artificially created oil spill was completely removed. It was meant as all of us and the moment this is done is being tested in the baltic sea as a kind of model region there we can really show how well it works and train employees on how to use this technology and we hope that in the coming years it will be deployed in other regions of the world.
