Some procedures for Oil Spill Cleanup at Sea
Exploration of oil from oceanic resources has become a must and oil spills end up occurring accidentally, as a result, it becomes important to employ various oil spill cleanup methods.
Oil spills are a very dangerous occurrence for the marine ecosystem is affected and the marine life-forms’ existence gets unnecessarily endangered.
We have different methodologies that can be adopted for the purpose of cleaning up oil spills.
In the oil and gas sector, some of the commonly used methods can be explained as follows:

Cleaning by the use of Sorbents
Sorbents can be sponge-like materials that are placed on the surface of the spillage affected area. Sorbents suck and absorb the oil from the surface of the water leading to an oil spill cleanup.

 Use of Oil Booms
Oil booms are a popular method of controlling oil spills. There are many types of oil booms that have been designed for different areas where the oil spillage might occur, leading to a quite thorough oil spill cleanup.

 Using dispensers for cleaning
This method involves the use fertilizers to disperse the oil spillage in the water.  Though the method sounds and looks unconventional, it is one of the highly recommended oil spill cleanup methods. The fertilizers aid to hasten the growth of micro-organisms which help to diffuse the components of the oil spilt in the water.

 Burning In-situ
In the oil and gas Industry, this means burning of the oil on the site where the spillage has occurred. The burning has to be done quite promptly before the oil spill can spread to a larger area of the site.
The most important disadvantage of such an on-site burning is that the exhaust that is released contains toxic particles that can cause damage to the oceanic air in addition to the marine life-forms.

 Skimming method
Skimming involves the removal of the oil spillage with the aid of tools and equipment from the surface of the polluted water body.  It utilizes different densities of oil and water because the density of oil will tend to be lighter than the density of water.
Then, the lighter oils can be separated and removed from the water in this method of cleaning up of oil spills.

 Natural methods
In the oil and gas sector, the easiest way of dealing with the oil spill cleanup operation is to make use of the components of nature like the sun, the wind, the weather and the tides. In due course of time, the particles of the oil spill evaporate because of the constancy of these natural elements.
It is the slowest and most cost- effective method of cleaning up oil spillages.

Technological aid method
In this method, earth moving equipment like cranes and tractors can be employed to clean the oil spillage in beaches and coastal areas.
 Laboratories and other equipped areas are resourceful places where the oil spills can be separated from the sand and other items generally found in the beaches and coastal areas, if it is not possible to carry out the oil spill cleanup operation on site.

 Hot water and huge force method
In this, the enormous force of the hot water is used to push the oil spilt back into the water. And with the help of the skimming tools and equipment, the oil spillages cleanup operation can take place.

THE IMPORTANCE OF OIL DEPOT IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRIES

-
Image
An oil depot (sometimes called a tank farm, installation or oil terminal) is an industrial facility for the storage of petroleum and / or petrochemical products and from which these products are generally transported to end-users or other storage facilities. An oil depot usually has a tank, either above ground or underground, and gantries (frame) for spilling products in tank trucks or other vehicles (such as barges) or pipelines. Oil depots are usually located near oil refineries or in places where tankers containing products can unload their cargo. Some deposits are attached to pipelines from which they draw their supplies and deposits can also be fed by rail, barge and tanker (sometimes called "bridge"). Most oil depots have tank trucks that operate from their land and these vehicles transport products to service stations or other users. An oil depot is a relatively unsophisticated facility in that (in most cases) there is no processing or other processing on the si

Typical flare system in industrial plants

 Diagrammatic representations of a typical vertical, elevated flare stack system in an industrial plant. During operations, when industrial plant equipment items are over-pressured, the pressure relief valve is an essential safety tool that automatically releases gases and sometimes liquids. Those pressure relief valves are essential by industrial design codes and standards as well as by law. The released gases and liquids are directed through large piping systems known as flare headers to a vertical elevated flare. The escaped gases are burned as they exit the flare stacks. The size and brightness of the resulting flame is determined by the flammable material's flow rate in joules per hour (or btu per hour). Majority of industrial plant flares have a vapour-liquid separator(also called a knockout drum) upstream of the flare to remove any large amounts of liquid that may go along with the relieved gases. Steam is f
