In situ burning of oil in experimental ice leads
Oil-spill cleanup in Arctic waters poses unique problems because of the presence of ice and the remoteness of potential spill sites. This work investigates the removal by burning of spilled oil in leads. Twenty-five burns of weathered Norman Wells crude were carried out under varying wind conditions in leads cut in an ice sheet at the Esso Resources ice test basin in Calgary, Alberta in February 1986. The tests were designed to evaluate the effects of wind herding, oil weathering, oil thickness, lead geometry, and the presence of brash ice on burning efficiency. The size of the facility allowed burning experiments to be carried out at essentially full scale.
