Research and Develop a Linear Augmented Fire Boom Configuration to Increase Burn Efficiency and Reduce Emissions of the Outer Continental Shelf

The objective of the project is to develop and test prototype technology and operational methods to significantly enhance in-situ burning and improve burner efficiencies.  The proof-of-concept will be demonstrated through lab-scale te4sting in waves with burning crude oil.  A protoype will be built by enhancing commercially available fire booms and a demonstration under realistic conditions.  The study is divided into five tasks with two series of experimental burn tests: 1) small-scale in situ brun tests; 2) design full-scale prototype of augmented fire boom; 3) modify the fire boom per the design.
