Abstract
About 4508.4 × 106 tons of oil are produced annually in the world, including 541.7 × 106 tons in Russia. Produced oil can be of “light” and “heavy” grades. Regardless of the grade, the oil produced is supplied to refineries, where producers of oil products use light grades to produce light refined fuel, and heavy grades to produce darker types of oil products, including fuel oil with different densities and viscosities. In the process of transporting extracted raw materials and refined petroleum products in accident situations, a spill occurs, leading to severe environmental consequences both on land and on water. The greatest negative impact on aquatic ecosystems is caused by spills of heavy grades of raw materials and oil products. The use of the tanker fleet for the transportation of a large part of the produced oil and refined petroleum products by sea is associated with high risks of negative impact on aquatic ecosystems in the event of emergencies. The greatest environmental problem is created by emergencies during the spill of heavy oil and oil-contaminated petroleum products. This problem was exposed by two accidents of tankers on December 15, 2024 in the Kerch Bay of the Black Sea, carrying fuel oil of grade 100. The article presents technical solutions for the elimination of spills of oil and oil products with the properties of both viscous and viscous-plastic liquids located on the water surface, in a submerged state and at the bottom.
