Abstract
The combustion process of weathered oil and water mixtures floating on top of a water body was studied for two crude oils obtained from Alaska, i.e., Milne Point crude and ANS crude. The water content in the mixture increased and as the weathering level increased, the threshold heat flux required for sustained ignition increased. The data for threshold heat flux correlated well with the density of crude oil at all water contents and weathering levels. A method for providing external hat flux greater than the threshold heat flux value when spill occurs on an open water body was presented. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 24th Arctic and Marine Oilspill Program Technical Seminar (Edmonton, Alberta 6/12-14/2001).
