A 90-10 ratio seems too high

A 90-10 ratio seems too high on the water side, said Arturo Keller, a biogeochemistry professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara. At that point, thered be nothing to skim.The choppiness of the water, the distance of the oil from the leaking wellhead and even the skill of the boats crews are all factors that can determine how much crude is being skimmed at any given time. Even the vessels themselves vary widely, from specially designed vessels equipped with on-board oil separation facilities to retrofitted fishing boats towing containment boom.Its highly variable, said James ODonnell, a marine sciences professor at the University of Connecticuts Avery Point campus. The only way to know might be if each vessel is processing the mixture on board.Even in the absence of hard numbers about skimmers value, local officials are so bullish on the boats that supply struggles to meet demand Leaders in coastal Louisiana parishes have asked BP to pay for having 300 vessels retrofitted as skimmers, and Gov Bobby Jindal has assigned 20 members of the National Guard to make sure the Coast Guard is deploying as many of the boats as it reports are on the water.
