Harmful Effects of Oil Spills at Thermal Power Plants and Solutions

Posted on by Haianh

A. HARMFUL EFFECTS OF OIL SPILLS

Oil pollution and spills cause numerous direct and indirect impacts on ecosystems and riversides in various aspects. When oil spills reach the shore, they hinder many economic development activities.

1. Environmental Impacts of Oil Spills

  • Water Pollution:

Research by scientists and environmental experts indicates that when the concentration of petroleum and its products in water reaches 0.5mg/l, oil starts to emit an unpleasant odor. The chemical indicators of water change drastically when the concentration of petroleum and its products exceeds 100mg/l.

The presence of oil films on the water surface reduces oxygen exchange between the air and water, decreasing dissolved oxygen levels and increasing CO2 levels, causing a drop in water pH. Since oil films are dark-colored, they have a high solar heat absorption capacity, leading to increased water temperatures. The easily soluble components in oil, mainly petroleum ethers, are highly toxic to aquatic life.

  • Disrupting the life activities of organisms:

Oil covers the cell membranes of lower organisms like plankton and protozoa, disrupting osmotic pressure regulation, causing mass deaths of lower organisms, juveniles, and larvae. Oil adhering to organisms’ bodies hinders respiration, metabolism, and movement.

Oil concentrations in water as low as 0.1mg/l can be lethal to plankton, the first link in the aquatic food chain. For bottom-dwelling organisms, oil pollution significantly affects juveniles and larvae. Oil absorbed by adult organisms reduces their usability due to the oil odor.

Fish are severely impacted by oil spills, with effects depending on the solubility of harmful compounds in oil. Oil sticking to fish reduces their usability due to odor, and fish eggs can be rendered nonviable by oil contamination. Oil pollution can cause mass fish deaths due to decreased dissolved oxygen in the water.

  • Potential toxicities in the ecological environment:

Oil spills indirectly affect organisms by impeding oxygen exchange between water and the atmosphere, promoting the accumulation of toxic gases like H2S and CH4, raising pH levels. Oil sediments accumulate in the sediment, increasing oil content and causing toxicity to bottom-dwelling organisms.

  • Impact on Fisheries:

Decline in fishing and aquaculture productivity due to reduced fishery resources in oil-affected areas. Fish and seafood often acquire an oil odor, making them unsellable.

  • Hindrance to Shoreline Economic Activities:

Oil spills drifting with surface currents, waves, and tides adhere to rocks and coastal areas, causing aesthetic degradation and unpleasant odors for tourists, reducing local tourism revenue.

2. Impact on Economic Activities:

Aquaculture is one of the crucial economic sectors in coastal and riverside communes. These areas use river and sea water directly for aquaculture. Therefore, in the event of an oil spill contaminating the water source, these farming areas will be the first to be affected. Shrimp and clams are highly sensitive to polluted water, so the damage level will be significant.

When oil infiltrates the ponds, it gradually accumulates in the organisms’ bodies until it reaches a certain threshold, leading to death (initially, shrimp show signs of sequential death, and after a few days, they die en masse). Another cause is that the oil spill depletes the water’s oxygen supply for the aquatic life, leading to death.

It should also be noted that since most local residents invest a considerable amount of capital in aquaculture, an incident will severely impact their economic livelihoods if not promptly addressed.

3. Impact on Natural Resources and the Environment:

Oil toxicity varies daily based on pollution concentration. Although the most toxic components of oil can dissolve in water and evaporate quickly, all aquatic organisms can accumulate oil even at very low concentrations. Oil accumulation in sediments and sand in stagnant waters poses long-term ecological risks.

The survival of flora and fauna depends on natural instincts and external factors. During spawning seasons, organisms become more sensitive to oil. Recovery of species depends on the timing of the oil spill, recovery efforts, and the accumulated oil content in each species. Species with rapid growth rates recover quickly, while slow-growing species may take years to fully recover.

B. EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR HANDLING OIL SPILLS AT THERMAL POWER PLANTS

To mitigate oil spill risks at thermal power plants, strict environmental protection and safety measures must be implemented. Enhanced monitoring and control, adherence to oil use regulations, and treatment of oily wastewater are essential.

Thermal power plants must have comprehensive emergency response plans to handle oil spills promptly. Effective oil spill management technologies are crucial for reducing pollution risks and enhancing industrial hygiene at plants and downstream areas.

Some products suitable for spill handling, industrial cleaning and oil pollution prevention at thermal power plants include:

In conclusion, oil spills and leaks at thermal power plants are significant threats to the environment and human health. Addressing these issues requires proactive management by plant authorities to protect worker health and the environment.

GUIDE TO USING A CHEMICAL SPILL RESPONSE KIT

Posted on by Haianh

A. What to do after purchasing a chemical spill response kit

Preparing action plans and backup materials for oil and chemical spills in industrial settings is crucial. It is essential to ensure workplace safety and protect the environment for your business. Once you have spill response kits, you need to understand how to use them effectively to manage spills efficiently.

First, anticipate areas where chemical spills or leaks might occur. Ensure the spill response kit is stored near these areas, where it is easily visible and accessible in case of an emergency.

Next, open the chemical spill response kit and familiarize yourself with the products and instructions included. Typically, a chemical spill response kit contains:

  • Absorbents in bagged form
  • Chemical absorbent booms
  • Absorbent pillows and pads
  • Personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, etc.)
  • Shovels, brooms, and waste bags
  • Hazardous waste labels
  • Instruction cards, warning barricades, etc.

(The included products may vary depending on the kit’s capacity and customer requirements.)

B. Basic chemical spill response instructions

1. Protect the spill area

First, create a barrier around the outside of the spill area using absorbent booms or absorbent pillows. This will isolate the spill location, reduce spreading, and minimize the impact on the environment and people nearby. The booms and pillows will both contain and absorb the spilled chemicals.

For spills on water, use oil absorbent booms to create a barrier preventing the spill from spreading and affecting the environment. Multiple layers of booms can be used to form an effective barrier depending on the terrain and severity of the spill.

2. Stop the source

When a chemical spill occurs, first stop the source (close valves or taps, upright overturned containers, contain the spill source, etc.). Stopping the source will reduce the impact and scale of the spill, providing a safer working environment for the responders and allowing for quicker, more effective action.

3. Clean up the chemicals

Use appropriate absorbents from the kit (chemical absorbent pads, oil absorbent pads, oil absorbent cotton, chemical absorbent pillows, cleaning powder, etc.) to absorb the spilled liquid. Use chemical/oil absorbent pads to quickly absorb, cover maximum spill area, and collect any residue left on the surface. Use pillows to absorb larger volumes of liquid.

Cleaning powder helps absorb large quantities of liquid and is excellent for removing spills in cracks and crevices on uneven surfaces. Especially when using absorbent powder:

  • Sprinkle the absorbent powder from the bag onto the surface of the spilled liquid. Sprinkle from a low and close distance to avoid dust and product waste.
  • After a few minutes, the powder will absorb and encapsulate the spilled liquid or neutralize acids.
  • Use a stiff broom to sweep back and forth until the surface is dry and clean. Typically, 1 kg of absorbent can absorb 4 liters of oil. If there are still oil traces on the surface, it means the absorbent is oversaturated. Additional absorbent is needed.

4. Handle used products

Collect solid waste (booms, pads, pillows, absorbent powder soaked with spilled liquid) using a shovel and gloves into a container or bag, then dispose of it according to local Environmental Protection Agency regulations. The appropriate waste handling method should be applied depending on the type of chemicals absorbed. Remember to label hazardous waste bags properly.

Choose the right product for your needs based on color

Posted on by Haianh

Industrial enterprises must be well-informed about industrial cleaning products and spill response solutions to promptly handle potential hazards to humans and the environment. One of the most significant concerns is dealing with oil and chemical spills during operations.

Using rags and scrap fabric is neither effective for thoroughly cleaning oil stains nor reusable for the spilled liquids. Instead, the market offers specialized oil absorbent materials that improve efficiency, save time, and reduce costs for handling oil and chemical spills.

Preventing and addressing issues caused by oil/chemical spills according to government regulations and laws helps ensure worker safety and environmental protection, while also avoiding hefty fines for violations.

Globally, specialized oil absorbent products use different colors to indicate their applications. Let’s explore the differences between these colors and the functions of these products with BIGNANOTECH.

1. Gray, Blue, and Yellow: Neutral Absorbents/Universal Absorbents

Products in these colors are typically used for responding to and handling chemical-related incidents involving corrosive and highly volatile liquids. These chemicals are commonly used in modern industrial fields but are particularly hazardous in case of leaks or spills.

Strong solvents, coolants, and non-concentrated chemicals are effectively cleaned and contained by chemical absorbent pads in these colors, preventing further spills. These hazardous materials must be stored in specialized containers.

It is important to note that these products do not neutralize the chemicals they absorb and clean, so they remain dangerous if misused. Therefore, users must be equipped with appropriate safety gear when handling spills.

2. White, Brown: Oil Absorbents

These color-coded products, such as pads and booms, are used to absorb and clean up oil spills, especially useful for dealing with water or other liquids contaminated with oil. These products are made from hydrophobic materials or treated with hydrophobic chemicals, so they only absorb oil and completely repel water. Additionally, nano technology enhances their oil absorption capacity without releasing the absorbed oil.

White oil absorbent pads and booms, being hydrophobic, float on water to absorb and contain spilled oil, making them ideal for use in rivers, lakes, seas, wells, and tanks. Oil stains are easily visible on white products. Brown products, while less visible when soaked with oil, do not compromise on absorbency. The market primarily uses white oil absorbent pads, booms, and pillows for any industrial oil cleaning activities.

   

3. Pink: Hazardous Material Absorbents
For highly dangerous liquids and chemicals, pink absorbent products are typically used. These products are specially designed to absorb even the most toxic chemicals without degrading or reacting with the chemicals. It is crucial to wear protective gear and handle these chemicals with extreme care.

Where to Buy These Products?

There are many suppliers of these products in the market. However, some products lack clear origins and guaranteed quality. Some products are imported from major global brands like 3M and Spilfyter. These products ensure quality but come at a high cost due to additional taxes when imported to Vietnam.

Understanding these challenges, BIGNANOTECH, a leading manufacturer of industrial oil and chemical spill response products in Vietnam, has introduced N-FIBER, H-FIBER, and G-FIBER product lines.

How to Handle Oil Spills on Water?

Posted on by Haianh

What is an oil spill? Basic steps to handle oil spills on water.

1. What is an Oil Spill?

An oil spill refers to an accident that occurs during the extraction, production, processing, or transportation of petroleum and petroleum-based products (such as pipeline leaks, ship accidents, rig incidents, etc.), leading to oil escaping into the environment, causing water pollution and adverse impacts on ecosystems. These incidents require swift and thorough response. An oil spill is typically defined as a release of several hundred liters or more of oil into the environment.

Oil spills in Vietnam

According to sources from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Vietnam records approximately 10 significant oil spills per year over the past 20 years. These incidents negatively affect the human environment and severely impact ecosystems. Therefore, addressing the consequences of oil spills is crucial for protecting our environment.

Negative effects of oil spills

Industrial oil spills can spread in different environments, posing serious threats to microorganisms in those areas, especially in water environments, where oil easily disperses and spreads. A concentrated oil spill can immediately cause mass fish deaths or poisoning. However, the long-term effects of oil spills on ecosystems can be even more severe and lasting.

Oil pollution contaminates organic matter in rivers, lakes, and seas, reducing food sources, and ultimately limiting the reproductive capacity of aquatic life and humans.

2. How to Handle an Oil Spill

Due to the physical properties of oil, it floats on the surface of water when spilled. The first step in addressing an oil spill is to isolate the spill area, followed by subsequent response steps.

Below are some common methods for dealing with oil spills on water:

  • Using Oil Containment Booms: This method isolates the spill area to prevent oil from spreading further across the water’s surface.
  • Using Oil Absorbent Products: Specialized products such as oil-absorbent pads, pillows, and polypropylene-based fibers can be used to absorb and recover oil from the water surface.
  • Burning Oil on Site: As an emergency measure, burning oil at the spill site can be used. This must be done quickly to prevent oil from spreading further. However, this method can produce air pollutants and affect the ocean and marine life.
  • Using Oil Dispersants: Natural water disturbances can disperse oil, but the process is slow. To speed up dispersion, chemical oil dispersants can be used. These chemicals are added to oil to facilitate dispersion and reduce formation.
  • Using Basic Tools: In coastal areas, local communities can engage in oil spill clean-up using simple tools such as rakes, shovels, buckets, and vacuums. This method is suitable for small-scale oil spills.

 

Containment is the most critical step in oil spill response. By isolating the affected area, further spreading is prevented, allowing for easier management and response. Oil containment booms not only contain the oil but also have high absorbency, allowing simultaneous containment and absorption, which can help to shrink the spill area. If the spill area is large, multiple booms can be connected to increase the containment radius.

Additionally, specialized products such as oil-absorbent pads, pillows, and fibers must be prepared in advance to ensure a quick response when oil spills occur. These products only absorb oil, not water, and can float on the water surface regardless of waves or wind, making them ideal for handling oil spills on water.

3. Where to Buy These Products?

BIGNANOTECH is a leading company specializing in the production and distribution of oil spill response products, including oil-absorbent booms, pads, pillows, fibers, and other products designed to tackle oil spills.

How to Utilize Spilled and Leaked Oil?

Posted on by Haianh

Lubricating oil, crude oil, and oil-based fluids have long been the primary source of fuel for most industrial activities and daily life. Machinery and equipment using oil are present in almost all factories, plants, manufacturing workshops, repair shops, warehouses, etc. Therefore, industrial hygiene and the treatment of spilled and leaked oil during operations and production are currently one of the issues of concern.

The amount of spilled oil due to accidents, oil leaks, and waste oil from factories and plants is extremely large every year. If not properly handled, it can cause environmental pollution, affect the health of workers, and result in certain waste for businesses.

Common methods for collecting, cleaning oil, fuel, and industrial fluids

Currently, one of the most optimal methods for industrial cleaning and handling oil spill incidents is to use high-tech absorbent products such as:

These products are manufactured using exclusive nano-fiber technology from Japan, so they can absorb oil quickly and absorb more oil than traditional cleaning utensils such as mop cloths or rags. This helps businesses save cleaning costs and minimize storage space.

Moreover, specialized oil absorbent products only absorb oil and oil-based fluids, not water, so they are often used to clean oil stains, leaks on machinery and equipment, factory floor surfaces. They are also used to control and treat oil spill incidents on rivers, lakes, seas, fields, etc.

They also have anti-static, non-flammable, non-combustible properties, meeting fire and explosion prevention standards and safety in storage and use.

Utilizing spilled oil

After using these products to absorb and collect spilled oil, the next important step is how to avoid wasting that oil. With high-tech specialized products such as oil absorbent pads, oil absorbent pillows, we can recover much of the absorbed oil by squeezing or using centrifuges. This oil can then be further filtered using oil filter fabric or oil filter machines and reused.

For wastewater containing non-reusable oil, oil filter fabric can be used to filter out all waste, oil residues, and oil sludge before discharging into the environment or undergoing other waste treatment processes.

In these ways, businesses can save a lot of fuel costs and waste treatment costs, while minimizing the risk of oil leakage through waste routes causing environmental pollution.

For effective oil spill collection and treatment, businesses need to prepare contingency plans and spill response procedures as well as standard hygiene procedures for their employees. Above all, they need to research high-tech specialized products and prepare backups to proactively handle any incidents that may occur, ensuring the most efficient operation and economic efficiency for their businesses.
