Simulation Tank for Oil Recovery in Marine Situation
Sentence Simulation Tank for Oil Recovery in Marine Situations (STORMS) is the facility in Japan for tests of oil response equipments in sea water which is filled in a large basin that can generate waves and current. It can sim1ulate waves, current (or speed of a ship), and temperature of the sea water. Wind can be generated by optional blowers. Heavy oil is spread on and the oil recovery products are tested for their performances, etc. The STORMS started in April 2004, and we can research and develop in real situation simulated by the facility. We prepare against the oil spill on Japanese coast with the STORMS. |
