Problem
Excess oilGasoline
Engine oil
From leaking boats and spills
Other harsh chemical spillsAntifreeze
Damaging effects to surrounding ecosystem
Poor water quality
Harmful to fish and aquatic life

Runoff
Total Area - 12.4 acres
Soil propertiesWooded - poor condition
Soil type C - sandy clay loam
CN = 0.77
Precipitation - 3 inches
Soil cover complex method
Q = (P - 0.2S)2/(P + 0.8S)
Runoff - Q = 1.15 in
Runoff volume - V = 1.19 ac - ft
USDA soil survey
Possible SolutionsHair Mat
Ottimat
Hair naturally adsorbed oil
Large surface area
Oil Absorbent Powder
Oil Solutions (OS)
Powder absorbs 10x its weight
Easily extracted from water

Hair Mat Background
Mass produced hair mat product
99% human hair / 1% polypropylene skim
Adsorb:Petroleum
Benzene
Ethanol
Hydrophobic
Reuse 100+ times

Ottimat Quality
NASA experiment300 lbs contaminated mix
55 gallon tank
13 min
17 parts of oil/million parts of water
EPA standard: 15 ppm http://assets.inhabitat.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2010/06/hairmatoilspillcleanup.jpg
Ottimat Benefits
Adsorbs oil instead of absorbing7.8 gallons/mat cubic foot
2.5 minute per use
Wrung out and used again98% released
Tensile strength 38 lbs
Large-scale petroleum http://www.oilspillrecovery.com/page3.html
Oil Solutions Powder Background
99% copolymer, 1% antioxidant
FDA approved and EPA listed landfill safe
Absorbs:Crude oil
Heating oil
Gasoline
Kerosine
Jet fuel
Hydraulic fluids
Motor oil
Diesel
1 to 2 pounds of powder needed per gallon of oil

OS Powder QualityDepartment of Air Force Experiment
Not a Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) contributor
No negative impacts on aquatic life
Density of 15.6lb/ft3 Indefinitely floats
Copolymers cross-link with hydrocarbons to form a rubber-like mat

Comparison Conclusion
Theoretical 10 gallon oil spill
Ottimat (12” x 12” x 1”) OS Powder (10 lbs)
Time 38 minutes 23 minutes
Cost $10 $90
Re used? Yes, 15 times No, disposed of
Summary Conclusion
Overall oil in lake = 3.5 gallons/month
Best choice = OttimatSmall scale
Bought once and re-used
$10 (12” x 12” x 1”)
Used approx 5 times/month
Used for 20 months Photo: Emily Megin
