About this award
The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) awarded a $1.48 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) on January 18, 2021, for Phase 2 of a Fire Whirl Study. This research initiative, which was ultimately completed on January 17, 2024, focuses on investigating efficient remediation of oil spills using fire whirl in-situ burning (ISB) techniques. The work is being performed in Albany, California, and represents BSEE's commitment to developing advanced environmental response capabilities for marine oil spill cleanup operations. No set-aside designation was applied to this competitive award, indicating selection based on technical merit.
UC Berkeley is collaborating with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) as the primary subcontractor on this effort. The research encompasses both laboratory-scale experiments with small to medium fires and large-scale outdoor demonstration experiments utilizing prototype apparatus. The study is designed to address fundamental scientific questions regarding fire whirl creation and feasibility, with the ultimate goal of developing reliable, controllable fire whirl ISB apparatus prototypes that can be tested at operational scales. This Phase 2 effort builds upon prior research to advance the practical application of fire whirl technology for efficient and effective oil spill remediation in marine environments.
