About the Book

Presenting contributions from the Third International Conference on Oil and Hydrocarbon Spills, Modelling, Analysis and Control (OIL SPILL), this volume will be valuable to researchers, engineers and managers who are using or investigating the use of state-of-the-art techniques to model, prevent, control and clean up oil spills both in water and on land. Over 40 contributions are included and these cover specific topics within the following areas: modelling of trajectory and fate of spills; oil spill detection and prevention; land spills; experimental and laboratory analysis; clean up measures; biological impact of oil pollution; case studies; remote sensing; and risk assessment.

Table of Contents:
Section 1 Modelling of trajectory and fate of spills: Model for simulation of movement and biodegradation of hydrocarbons in saturated and unsaturated soils; An update of an oil spill model and its application in the Bay of Biscay: the weathering processA non-isothermal three-phase pollutant transport model, theoretical formulation and numerical applications; Numerical modelling of oil spills in coastal zones. A case study; Oil spill fate forecast system for Ilha Grande Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Section 2 Oil spill detection and prevention: Application of PAH and biomarker diagnostic ratios in forensic oil spill identification by the revised Nordtest methodology; The use of the isotopic composition of individual compounds for correlating hydrocarbon products in the environment with their suspected sources; Improved and standardized methodology for oil spill fingerprinting; Identification of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in the Egyptian Mediterranean seashore; Microwave techniques to detect oil spill; Procedure for the detection of leaks in fluid pipelines with determination of leak volume and location; Laboratory-scale apparatus to assess feasibility of venting clean-up projects. Application at the jet-fuel polluted air base. Section 3 Land spills: Inland spill management in urbanized areas; Method of computing the maximum flow stoppage time of buried oil pipelines; Bioremediation of land oil spills: diversity of microorganisms degrading oil hydrocarbons. Section 4 Experimental and laboratory analysis: Laboratory simulation of clean-up of oil spills on sandy beach by land farming and bioaugmentation technique; Cleaning debris from oil spills by thermal desorption; Simulated time-based studies to evaluate changes in crude oil composition through evaporation and biodegradation; Evaluation of mixing energy in the swirling and baffled flasks. Section 5 Clean up measures: Bioremediation of hydrocarbon pollution using biosurfactant producing oil degrading bacteria; Field scale bioremediation of tar contaminated soil with commercial mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus refuse; Oil-spill combat by using lignite, textiles and microbiology; A new biosurfactant for use in the clean up of oil spills on sea water environment; Rehabilitation of oil-polluted soils using products obtained in the process of organic wastes bioconversion; Hydrodynamic characteristics of an air-suction system of oil spilled in the marine environment; Oil skimming technology "SORBMOP"; Modelling of steam injection for removal of non-aqueous phase.
