Description
Summary:Oil Spill Response Action Plan is very important for preserving the ecosystem around the oil spillages area. During the emergency situation, the action taken must be quick and effective to prevent the spillages from spreading widely and causes more harm to sea and water creature. Currently, different equipment were used in the response plan such as using booms, skimmers, barriers, storage barges, tanks and also vessel depending on the condition of the spillages and the methods applied by the emergency response team. Standard Operating Procedure and Guideline has been developed to control the issue but as long as there is transportation involving oil, the issue cannot be solved completely. Realizing this factor this project is conducted, to help to provide alternative for oil spillages response plan. Part of this project is designing prototype of portable oil spill skimmer to collect oil spillages in a different scales and area such as in the middle of the ocean, sea shore, water treatment facilities and reservoir. Radio frequency control is used as a controller for location of the prototype, wireless camera for real-time video capturing.
