BioBind - English summary

BioBind is a joint research project of seven partners from different Universities and companies and is financed by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. The aim of the project is to develop an effective and fast oil spill recovery system for coastal shallow water areas and for adverse weather conditions which is compatible to existing concepts. Within the project both, innovative and individual components as well as an integrated management concept are being developed.

The most important individual components are:

• a spectral low-cost-method for specification and monitoring of oil spills
• bio-degradable oil binders

• identification and separation of oil degrading microorganism societies

• now-cast wave prediction model and the analysis of drift characteristics for the modeling of oil and binders

• aircraft and flight tactics for the dropping of binders

• appropriate recovery technique at sea and at the coast

• ecotoxicological assessment of the system

The Project findings will be presented at the International Oil Spill Conference in Savannah (GA) in the United States of America in May 2014.
