History
On December 7, 2007, a wire linked to Samsung no.1, big vessel carrying a crane was
cut off. And then, that crane crashed into an oil tanker Hebei Spirit that was in the
west coast of Taean, spilling like 12,547 kL of crude oil. As a result, left side of vessel
was broken and oil was spilled to ocean.
The density of the oils were about 0.85. The oils mostly consist of hydrocarbons and
some trace metals. And 30-50% of total mass of oil is mostly volatile organic carbons.
So, most of them evaporate at the initial stage of spill.
Spilled oil spread out the ocean. It is very complex phenomenon that dispersion occur.
It depends on many things




Desirable idea
In many cases, they were just interested in the exact time to apply the chemical or physical methods. And then, they would focus on the recovery of water quality and ecosystem. But I thought that`s not enough, because I had heard about bio-technology from college. So, as a student studying Environmental eco technology, I was looking for some other methods by bio-tech or.. microorganisms. Then I found the "Bioremediation" which is already in use but not well-known yet. It could cover some faults that conventional methods cannot deal with.
Why do we have to use bio remediation ? It`s obvious that chemical, physical methods are very effective at the beginning but it cannot remove all of oil. And Using the Oil-Clean could cause the second contamination. So, in sensitive area like wetland, mud flat they really need to apply alternative
