BP Oil Spill Video

A NEW APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF OIL SPILLS
- plastic booms and oil skimmers are largely ineffective
- dispersants only move oil from the water surface to the entire water column
- oleophilic & hydrophobic clay absorbs and contains floating oil spills
- the patented clay technology can be applied to the spill via aircraft or broadcast atop the spill from ships using pneumatic devices

Comments on "BP Oil Spill"

I find it ...
I find it infuriating that BP can't just use a simple method like this to remove the oil. They decide to use other toxic chemicals to disperse the oil. My 6 year old nephew even realized that they should be gathering it together, not dispersing it. I hear even hay works in a way similar to this. Thank you for this video, you have made a powerful point.

@ThomasMarinArt i ...
@ThomasMarinArt i works like plump-it for kitty litter lol, nice approach and idea boomcc1

have you reported ...
have you reported this tactic to BP yet? They doesnt seem to quite know what they are doing..

@oilzout good idea ...
@oilzout good idea i hope this video get out to like the govenment so they can use this method

This is amazing, so ...
This is amazing, so simple and effective. Too bad BP's greed cannot be overridden.

@oilzout can not ...
@oilzout can not be used until EPA changes it rules for sorbents. This is know as a sinking agent and right now can not be used in or around water. Dispersants can but natural non toxic material can't. Get the EPA to change.

@oilzout Thank you ...
@oilzout Thank you guys and keep up the great work!

@ThomasMarinArt By ...
@ThomasMarinArt By late August or September, we may have a hurricane in the Gulf.... My point with this admittedly amateur video is this: The clay works. It has worked for years on offshore platforms. In 2009, BP was the largest single user of this clay. The clay is NOT a sliver bullet. It is NOT a single solution to the problem. BUT, it is one of many good technologies that are not being applied in the cleanup effort. Someone needs to speak out about it - hence, this YouTube video.

How can you ...
How can you simulate that in the ocean? That was a mini hurricane. I love the clay idea.

Why hasn't the fed ...
Why hasn't the fed ordered 200,000 tons of this? I'll drive some Oilzout down there myself. Whats the name of your company, Polymer Ventures? Can I come pick some up?

@AquarielCharms A ...
@AquarielCharms A crisis like the Deepwater Spill demands that alternative approaches to mitigating the environmental impact of the oil be investigated. This clay and other sorbent technologies should be deployed, but they are not. Costner's centrifuge & other separators (like the EVTN Voraxial unit) are part of the answer. There is no single solution to the problem - many oil recovery techniques must be used in concert. BP has so far been unwilling to try.

@skeletonmom This ...
@skeletonmom This product has been used for years by BP, Shell, & other major O&G operators to filter oily water discharged to the sea from drilling platforms. The clay removes the smallest traces of oil in water (OIW) and renders only clean water, safe for discharge. Residual OIW is measured by hexane extraction. The EPA dictates a 29 ppm OIW max in the US Gulf. This product helps operators meet the 29 ppm OIW discharge regulations.

I'm for almost ...
I'm for almost anything that doesn't add more toxins in the ocean like Corexit 9500 that doesn't disperse the oil & just adds lots more poison. What about Kevin Costner's machines? It's not a 100% cure but could be used to clean up the oil on or near marshes, fisheries & wildlife nesting grounds, although I was disappointed to see theoretical physicist Michio Kaku on CBS yesterday completely opposed to it. But we gotta do something.

I am curious: Was ...
I am curious: Was a toxicity sample of the water taken after this experiment? And, if so, what were the levels? How livable will the water be to the marine life that have it pass thru their systems and affect their bodies? Has there been studies of this material on marine life? Thank you.

looks like poo in the end. but it's still the best solution ive seen

@GunaMalaysia The clay is manufactured by Polymer Ventures, Inc.

@oilzout so...who ...
@oilzout so...who manufactures this clay?

wow. MEGABORG OIL ...
wow. MEGABORG OIL SPILL and your idea need to be mixed. I just started searching the idea of microbes feeding on oil after seeing your video and stumbled across it. Check it out. I'll be calling my news and radio stations today to let them know about both of your guys ideas!! Great post.

@lanky4571 This ...
@lanky4571 This clay is already being used to remove oil from produced water on offshore platforms in the North Sea, the Far East, and the Middle East. The oil & gas industry already has the product in their arsenal. If broadcast directly on the floating oil, the clay absorbs the oil in seconds - the clay holds the oil through physical attraction, not chemical reaction. There are no byproducts. Sea floor bacteria will break down the sunken oil mass over time.

I Like it. It could ...
I Like it. It could help. Im reposting. TNKX

looks great in the ...
looks great in the lab. the ocean will not mix the clay as quickly as it was in the beaker. how long do you expect it to take to fully mix in the ocean environment? what is the product of this reaction? will this solid mass effect local fish and wildlife? Will the solid mass greatly increase the population of bacteria? I feel with larger scale models and more R&D in the side effects of this process, this will be the preferred method of cleanup for these issues.

@eyeque97 In calm ...
@eyeque97 In calm seas, the gathered oil mass will stay afloat for a period of time and can feasibly be recovered. Any clay that absorbs the oil and sinks will be consumed by naturally occurring bacteria living on the sea bottom.

does the oil float ...
does the oil float back up that was not shown in the approach or else whats going to happen to the soaked up oil just leave it at the bottom of the gulf

Very interesting, ...
Very interesting, I'll spread this info to my local news outlets for you. Hopefully they'll get the word out in time.

@ ...
@LiarLiarStatsOnFire I am not suggesting this is the ONLY answer to the situation in the GoM. However, I believe the time has come for O&G operators, the EPA, and the USCG to consider alternatives to booms, skimmers, and dispersants. Technologies like the clay should have their place in a spill response Contingency Plan. BTW - I am not disputing your math, regarding the media requirements. I'm simply trying to raise public awareness of alternative recovery techniques.

Nice effort and ...
Nice effort and perhaps a good solution in some cases, but the clay won't work anytime soon on situtation like this due to logistics & ncssry infrastructure. Min. est. 790 000 000 mL Oil/ per day leak (158l/barrel * 5000 barrels *1000l/ml) -- using your ratio of 6 grams clay to treat 3 mL equates to 1580 metric tons of clay/day to treat min leak. Not alot in scheme of things, but no instrct/tech to produce, contain/transport, and *Especially* disperse across 4000 grwing sq miles of slick

@Jobry456 The ...
@Jobry456 The problem is getting the information on technologies like this in front of the right people. Trying to find the decision makers at BP, the EPA, the USCG, or other influential government agencies is very difficult. If you'd like to help, please forward a link to this video to your friends, family, elected officials, and local news outlets. Dissemination of the information is key. Thanks.

If this can work... ...
If this can work....then why isn't it being done....at this point almost anything that can help should be tried.

you guys are genius ...
you guys are genius because I had also thought of that this is the same way my dad picks up the oil only he dumps dirt on it. my idea was to pick the oil with a vacuum

start making a lot ...
start making a lot of that s**t.

Oil Spill Dispersants and How They Work This educational video describes and shows through demonstrations how oil spill dispersants work. The REAL REASON Behind the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico - 2010 READ THIS: Dick Cheney's deregulation agenda is the real (underlying) reason / cause behind the US oil spill by British Petroleum (BP) in 2010 off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. Deregulation coupled with lax government oversight (lackies appointed by Dick Cheney at the helm) lead to the omission of key safety features and protocols, a free pass for drilling licenses, emphasis on profit over safety, and absolutely NO PLAN for containment of blowouts. In addition, the courts in the Gulf States, are completely stacked with Republican appointees (like Feldman) with major investments in or connections with BIG OIL (see last paragraph). Must read: www.nytimes.com For example, George W Bush and Dick Cheney helped block a 2002/03 Bill that would have required the use of acoustic switches as a means to activate the blowout preventer (BOP). Also, BP did not want to lose an oil well (by activating the BOP); this would have cost them future profit in addition to the costs for exploration and preparation of the well. This is most evident when you look at attempts in the first month and a half: all of the post-blowout efforts have been focused on SAVING the well; it was only after more than a month before BP attempted "TOPKILL", which would have sealed the well. Lastly, US District Judge Martin Feldman, who overturned the temporary drilling ban on June 22, owns investments in Ocean Energy (Houston-based), Quicksilver Resources, Prospect Energy, Peabody Energy ... 'Top Kill' LIVE feed: BP says oil spill stopped The US coastguard claims engineers have managed to use mud to stop the flow of oil from the leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the first step in BP's plan to seal the breach for good with cement. Live webcams still showed material jetting out from the well head - but BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said he believed mud, not oil, was now coming out of the ruptured pipe. Meanwhile the new study by US Geological Survey revealed new results. Two teams using different methods determined the well is leaking at least 1.9 million liters a day. One team said it might be leaking as much as 3 million liters and another said that number might be closer to 3.8 million liters.
