At Tomsk State University (TSU), their unique "Aeroshchup" technology is being adapted to clean bottom sediments from oil and plastic. The device is planned to be used in eliminating the consequences of the fuel oil spill in the Black Sea after the tanker crashes, the university's press service reported.
Emergency situations often arise in port areas during the loading and unloading of petroleum products, as well as accidents during transportation. Recent events in the Kerch Strait confirm the need to create such a tool.
Currently, specialists are interacting with scientific and environmental organizations of the Krasnodar Territory and discussing options for using the technology in the contaminated area.
Scientists at the TSU Biological Institute have been developing solutions for cleaning bottom sediments from hydrocarbons for over 20 years. Their arsenal includes about 25 patents for devices and methods, including "Aeroshchup," which has no analogues in Russia or abroad.
The technology allows cleaning the bottom of water bodies without the use of chemicals and soil excavation. "Aeroshchup" has already demonstrated high efficiency in tests conducted in the port of Riga.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that 4,000 people are eliminating the consequences of the Volgoneft tanker accident.
