1 New Canadian Oil Spill Technology
2 First presented in Beijing, 2012
3 EST moon pool
4 JBF moon pool
5 JBF 5000
6 EST 25m
7 Advantages of EST technology Oil is recovered via a stern opening. Bow strength is not compromised by doors etc. No moving, fragile parts such as conveyor belts and spinning brushes etc. Waves and pack ice cannot damage the EST system. No free surface effect in the tower so rough seas do not slow down the EST vessel. Even the 275m A Whale, the largest existing oil spill ship, had to give up in waves 1.5m high.
8 CCG calls EST the first innovative oil spill technology in 40 years In short, the project deals with a new technology of oil spill recovery on water and very likely has a capability of responding to spills of oil in the Arctic and other ice conditions. Ron MacKay Senior Response Officer, Maritimes (Ret d 2013)
9 Capt. Mark Turner wrote an oil spill report for Danny Williams of NL The EST model certainly surpassed that of the other proponents and as a result I have endorsed it with industry, government and potential investor clients. The BP spill certainly raised the desperate requirement for new EFFECTIVE technology and I believe EST will be the best approach in achieving that goal. Capt. Mark Turner
10 Extreme Spill Technology _ EST
11 A Completely New Approach An international patent has been granted. Based on the gravity separation of oil. No moving parts. Tested at Ohmsett with high Throughput Efficiency (94.4% in calm, 90.2% in waves).
12 Sustainable Shipping Award _ 2011
13 EST Oil Recovery Tower System
14 JBF & EST _ Moon Pool Systems The JBF DIP and the EST Tower System both use a moon pool in the bottom of the vessel to recover oil. The bottom opening of the JBF moon pool is deep underwater and needs a conveyor belt to pull the floating oil down to it.
15 EST Moon Pool System The bottom opening of the EST moon pool is only 5 10 cm below the surface. There is no need for a conveyor belt to pull the oil underwater to the opening. There is no free surface effect inside the sealed tower. Waves have little effect.
16 EST Tower _ Rugged and Simple
17 EST System Vessel _ 22m
18 Ohmsett Testing _ 2012
19 12m x 3m Ohmsett Test Vessel After testing, this vessel was delivered to the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG). CCG will test it on the ocean in winter ice. Future 12m vessels can measure 6m BOA and recover oil twice as fast.

21 2000 CPS Calsol Test Oil
22 Cleaning Up Oil
23 EST Vessels Are Multipurpose
24 A Plug Fills the Tower Moon Pool
25 EST Technology is Easy to Use
26 Oil Recovery Tower Just Drops In
27 Large Open Deck
28 Diesel Hydraulic Power Unit
29 Attach the Quick Connect Hoses
30 Plug in the Microprocessor
31 After job Cleanup is Simple Disconnect the hoses and cables. Flush the hoses and pumps with clean water. Pressure wash the tower and vessel. At no time does oily equipment come onboard the vessel.
32 Benefits of EST Technology The EST oil spill technology is a modular system that plugs in within minutes when required. The vessel can transform from a general workboat to an oil skimmer quickly enough for an immediate oil spill response.
33 Can be Installed in Harbour Craft
34 Can Be Installed in Huge Barges
35 EST 70m Built for the Arctic
36 Testing in China _ 2012
37 China Sea Trials In 2012, the Chinese Coast Guard, Maritime Safety Administration, arranged for a demonstration of our 6m skimmer vessel. The oil used was bunker C diluted with a small amount of diesel so it would pour.
38 The EST Tower Got All the Oil The photos of the 6m test boat in China were taken after the test. The vessel bottom was not cleaned or altered after leaving the ocean. The clean aft section of the bottom shows that no oil got past the tower.
39 6m Test Skimmer with EST Tower

43 Oil Spills on the Ocean
44 The Macondo Spill _ 2010 BP s Massive Effort: 48,000 workers 6,000 vessels 120 aircraft $14 billion USD
45 BP Recovered 3% of the Oil.
46 BP Burned 5% of the Oil.
47 Dispersants Have Led to Lawsuits.
48 and Left the Oil in the Sea.
49 There Must Be a Better Way.
50 Rule One: Avoid Complexity at Sea
51 Rule Two: Avoid Needing Labour
52 Rule Three: Avoid Toxic Oil
53 Rule Four: Respond Immediately
54 Not 72 Hours Later (Tier 4)

57 Why Atlantic Canada needs a NEW mechanical oil spill recovery system
58 Pollution is NOT the solution If we fail to deploy mechanical recovery systems that function reliably at sea, industry and government will continue cleaning up oil spills with their favourite tools, in situ burning and dispersants. The pollution and sickness caused by burning oil and spraying dispersants in the BP spill have led many independent scientists to conclude that the cleanup did far more damage than the oil spill.
59 The Reasoning Industry and government have virtually no ability to recover oil spills beyond the harbour. Sinking the toxic oil into the ocean food chain prevents the oil from reaching TV cameras. Poisoning the whales and ruining the fisheries is less damaging than coating beaches and birds with oil, which are publicly visible. This visibility damages tourism and angers voters.
60 The Reality The Corexit used in the 2010 BP spill has collapsed several fisheries and led to a generation of mutated shrimp (no eyes). The sperm whale population in the Gulf of Mexico is now the most poisoned on earth. The microbes did not eat all the oil. The oil and Corexit continues to come ashore today. The 2010 BP spill is still in the news.
61 Dilbit on the Bay of Fundy October 4, 2013: Paul Browning, CEO of Irving Oil, announced construction of a new ocean terminal in Saint John, NB that can load two VLCCs at once. Each vessel holds 2,000,000 barrels of diluted bitumen (dilbit), which is extremely toxic. The lighter elements in dilbit evaporate quickly and the toxic cargo sinks to the bottom of the sea, where it spreads for many years.
62 June 20, 2013: Irving Oil fleet tries to clean up an 8,000 tonne mock spill
63 Irving Oil s spill exercise scenario VLCC collides with a runaway barge near the Grand Manan endangered right whale sanctuary. 8,000 tonnes of dilbit spills. Whales not affected. Weather conditions at the time of the accident are calm winds, clear skies and excellent visibility (otherwise, the Irving Oil and CCG vessels are non functional and just stay home). Note: There may be 1,500 VLCCs annually transiting the Bay of Fundy, and dilbit will sink.
64 Environment Canada Approves Corexit in 2013 The existing Irving Oil and CCG oil spill vessels and equipment can only function in uncommonly calm, clear weather. 1,500 VLCCs annually on the Bay of Fundy suggests that beautiful weather may not always be the case when accidents occur. Apparently Environment Canada approved Corexit in 2013 to make the oil go away.
65 Problems With BP s Corexit The oil disappeared from view (solved the public relations damage). Corexit also created an environmental and health catastrophe. BP scuba divers exposed to it committed suicide. There is now a 10,000 person class action suit. The oil did not go away for long. In the first 8 months of this year, 3,000,000 lb of BP oil from 2010 washed up on the Louisiana coast. Microbes did not eat the BP oil as planned.
