CRREL, BSEE Conduct In Situ Burn Testing for New Oil Spill Cleaning System: with lower third, bug, outro
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center
Dec. 29, 2022 | 2:07
The Engineer Research and Development Center’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), in Hanover New Hampshire, facilitated the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement as they performed in situ burn testing for a new system developed by Elastec for improving the efficiency of burning oil spilled in water.
CRREL is one of the only federal facilities which can do controlled burns like this. CRREL’s expertise, equipment, and permitting allows them to safely conduct these experiments in a controlled environment in hopes that CRREL can help improve the efficiency of these systems.
