THE USE OF SIMULATION IN REMEDIAL INTERVENTIONS TO MARINE AREAS POLLUTED BY OIL

Unloading of hydrocarbons into the marine environment has a signifiant economic impact for both the activities performed on the shores and exploiting the resources of the sea. In this context it is necessary to adopt a strategy and a national system of intervention to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a disaster caused by an accidental oil pollution in the area of the continental shelf or in the Romanian coastal belt. Quick resolution of such problems, as a result of work techniques developed as a result of simulations, reduces major negative consequences. In the present work was chosen using two simulation programs, HYSPLIT and ADIOS,both developed by NOAA, for forecasting events due to oil spills of the Black sea romanian coast and the choice of methods of remediation For simulations were used two types of oils: Abu-Dhabi and Horcon.

The results of simulatios were: visualizing graphs oil removal, the charts of evaporated oil, the oil dispersing proces, the content of water in oil, the concentration of benzene in air. HYSPLIT and ADIOS programs for simulation the processes of removal oil discharged into the sea permit: making a prognosis; evaluation methods of remediation; the possibility of taking measures in advance to protect areas located at shore.
