Abstract:

Remediation of oil spill contaminated sites is very important in the actualization of the goals of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (UNDER) project. Conventional and artisanal oil explorations have resulted in several oil spill incidence within the Niger Delta. The volume of spilled oil in Bodo Creek was estimated to be 103,000 - 311,000 barrels. Shoreline flushing and artificial mangrove revegetation are key aspects of the remediation process. This review was done to assess the effect of the oil spill remediation on the recovery of flora and fauna in Bodo Creek. The data was

Abstract:

AbstractOil exploration and production in the Arctic regions has resulted in spills of petroleum and salt water in tundra ecosystems. The transportation and use of refined petroleum in Arctic regions has also led to spills, and the cleanup and ecosystem restoration in these systems can often be complicated by the existence of ice-rich soil permafrost. Compaction, removal, or tearing of the protective vegetation and organic soil can result in thermokarsting and associated changes in plant communities, which may persist for decades. Such problems led the State of Alaska to establish recovery-bas

An algorithm for detection of crude oil spills in visible light images has been developed and tested on 50 documented crude oil spill images from Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) Nigeria. A set of three 25 x 25 pixels crude oil filters, with unique red, green, and blue (RGB) colour values, homogeneity, and power spectrum density (PSD) features were cross-correlated with the documented spill images. The final crude oil spill Region of Interest (ROI) was determined by grouping interconnected pixels based on their proximity, and only selecting ROIs with an area greater than 5,000 pixels

Abstract:

The world consumes approximately 5.1 billion tons of crude oil per year, with the United States and Saudi Arabia producing the largest shares [1]. Countries rely on various means for transporting crude oil [1, 2]. Large vessel/tankers transport oil at sea, while oil is transported inland via pipelines, railroads, trucks, and barges [2]. Unfortunately, some of the oil gets spilled into the ocean, freshwater bodies, and terrestrial ecosystems during its production, transportation, and use [3]. Usually, oil spills are caused by accidents involving tankers, barges, pipelines, refineries, drilling

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Comparative Risk Assessment (CRA) is emerging as a methodology that may be applied to facilitate decision-making when various possible activities compete for limited resources. The CRA framework may be an especially valuable tool for prioritization of remediation efforts and for making choices among various environmental policies specific to oil industry operations. This paper will show that CRA is an efficient and cost-saving tool that assists in developing oil spill response priorities based on the broadest possible range of concerns and issues important to all stakeholders.

Abstract:

Oil spillage is one of the most catastrophic environmental disasters with enormous risks to marine ecosystems, coastal economies and human health. Efficient containment and response technologies are the key to minimizing the effects of such disasters. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art oil spill containment and response technologies from mechanical, chemical, to biological methods. Conventional technologies such as booms, skimmers, and dispersants are compared to next-generation technologies such as nanotechnology-based sorbents, magnetic separation technologies, and artificial intell

Abstract:

Offshore oil spills have the potential to inflict substantial ecological damage, underscoring the critical importance of timely offshore oil spill detection and remediation. At present, offshore oil spill detection typically combines hyperspectral imaging with deep learning techniques. While these methodologies have made significant advancements, they prove inadequate in scenarios requiring real-time detection due to limited model detection speeds. To address this challenge, a method for detecting oil spill areas is introduced, combining convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with the DBSCAN clu

Abstract:

Throughout the decades, the production, transport, and use of fossil fuels have led to numerous environmental concerns. Crude oil has caused catastrophic accidents after its spillage into the aqueous environment and accumulation on coastal sediments. To tackle this problem in a sustainable manner, researchers have used alternative remediation agents to extract these crude oil spills from the sediments. In this study, the biodiesels fatty acid methyl, ethyl, and butyl esters (FAME, FAEE, and FABE, respectively) were synthesized via transesterification reaction from waste cooking oil and corresp

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Floating vegetable oil can be effectively removed from the water surface and the water column as negatively buoyant oil-mineral aggregates by addition of a dense mineral, such as clay. In bench-scale experiments, it is possible to remove virtually all of the floating oil by addition of a sufficiently large dose of clay (&gt;10 g clay/g oil). Once present in the sediments, vegetable oil can be completely transformed to harmless end products (e.g., carbon dioxide and methane) by naturally occurring microbial populations.

ABSTRACT Land oil spills can expose wide areas of land to contamination, particularly if they occur during periods of high floods. These open, rural areas are often used as agricultural or range land and can present difficult access issues. In terms of the overall response effort this can mean that assessment and remediation can be be difficult and costly.

Oil spills are a global phenomenon with impacts that cut across socio-economic, health, and environmental dimensions of the coastal ecosystem. However, comprehensive assessment of oil spill impacts and selection of appropriate remediation approaches have been restricted due to reliance on laboratory experiments which offer limited area coverage and classification accuracy. Thus, this study utilizes multispectral Landsat 8-OLI remote sensing imagery and machine learning models to assess the impacts of oil spills on coastal vegetation and wetland and monitor the recovery pattern of polluted vege
