Technology transfer for oil spills and HNS dispersion prediction completed

- KRISO completes technology transfer to KOEM and SEANET -


□ The Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (President Booki Kim, hereinafter “KRISO”) announced that it had completed technology transfer of oil spills and Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) dispersion prediction technology to the Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation (KOEM) and SEANET.


□ This technology predicts the path and range of dispersion of oil spills and HNS based on maritime information on the Korean coast.


□ The research team including Mun-jin Lee, senior researcher of KRISO, established a comprehensive database of the maritime environment, and developed a movement and dispersion algorithm optimized for local waters.


□ The user application allows monitoring by not only the control room, but also clean-up vessels. Accurate prediction results are calculated based on form of spillage and maritime information when a user enters simple details such as time and place of accident, and amount of spillage. The maritime environment database contains detailed information on fish farms and beaches, so that strategies can be established to minimize damage to surroundings. Rapid response can be initiated through clean-up simulation.


□ The technology utilizes a material behavior and characteristic model developed from various sea trials, thus ensuring higher accuracy and reliability compared to theoretical predictions.


□ KRISO expects the technology to lower costs related to pollution response, and to reduce damage caused by the dispersion of oil spills and HNS.


□ Booki Kim, the president of KRISO, said, “Oil spills in the ocean are difficult to clean up, and can have a negative impact on the ecosystem, environment, and even the local economy. I hope for the technology transfer to be useful in oil spill clean-ups, and will do my best to create a safe, clean maritime environment for all.”


□ KOEM, the only institute in Korea dedicated to the marine environment, is carrying out various activities related to marine waste processing, restoration of the marine ecosystem, and marine pollution response, while SEANET, a leader of maritime communications, is known for its next-generation eco-friendly network system.
