OSRR-286-Project Cancelled - In Situ Oil Burning Manual Preparation

This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) with MMS, Environment Canada, Canadian Coast Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard. Several United States and Canadian government organizations have conducted research on the environmental effects of burning oil in situ. Laboratory experiments have been conducted and models developed to predict heat transfer, pollutant generation, and field effectiveness. A number of large scale burns were conducted to confirm these data and to provide information on operational aspects. The objective of this research project is to combine all the operational information into a practical manual so that burning can be implemented by response organizations.
