Impacted area before remediation process
An oil spill can have devastating effects on the impacted area, severely disrupting ecosystems, harming wildlife, and contaminating soil and water resources. When oil is released into the environment, it spreads rapidly, creating a slick that affects marine life, coastal habitats, and inland ecosystems. The toxic components of oil can kill fish, birds, and mammals, while also damaging plant life and coral reefs.
0.3m mechanical tilling process
Mechanical tilling is a remediation technique used to treat oil-contaminated soils. It involves physically turning and loosening the soil using heavy equipment such as rototillers or plows. This process helps aerate the soil, promote the evaporation of volatile hydrocarbons, and enhance the activity of natural microbes that break down oil contaminants.
Flushing process of the local pods
Flushing is a response technique used to remove oil contamination from impacted water bodies and shorelines. It involves applying controlled flows of water—either freshwater or seawater—to wash spilled oil from surfaces into collection areas where it can be recovered.
