| Abstract: | SINTEF Applied Chemistry has been working in the field of in situ burning since 1988, beginning with the first open water testing of the 3M fire proof boom which took place on Spitsbergen. In recent years, the focus of SINTEF's research activities in this area has been on the burning of emulsions. An experimental programme was initiated by NOFO in 1990 to study the in situ burning of water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, as part of a wider NOFO programme ‘Oil spill contingency in Northern and Arctic waters’ (ONA). The research conducted under this programme has addressed many areas of in situ burning including: - •? study of processes governing burning emulsions
- •? development of ignition techniques for emulsions
- •? effect of environmental conditions on burning
- •? burning crude oil and emulsions in broken ice
- •? uncontained burning of crude oil and emulsions.
