Tests of Oil Recovery Devices in Broken Ice Fields, Phase II.
This final report summarizes the results of tests conducted in broken ice cover with crude oil and No. 2 fuel oil of five oil spill recovery devices manufactured by Lockheed, Marco, Ocean Systems, JBF Scientific, and Oil Mop. Additional tests were conducted to determine the natural spill thickness o...
