First soak up any liquid oil residues with a paper towel.

Some experts, relying mostly on laboratory testing, had even declared that corals were not affected by oil residues.

Freight One recently pioneered a new system that microwaves tank wagons to help extract heavy oil residues.

But now it is coated with oil residues that may affect its water permeability, the germination of seeds and the microbial life in the crust.

Non-point sources include lawn herbicides and oil residues from city streets, but by far the heaviest non-point contributor to water pollution is agricultural runoff.

Sea otters and ducks also showed higher death rate in following years, partially because they ingested prey from contaminated soil and from ingestion of oil residues on hair due to grooming.

Moreover, the desalting plants rely on distillation or a separation technology that is easily fouled by oil residues, said Richard Golob, publisher of Golob's Oil Pollution Bulletin.

And when BP announced that it would build a plant that runs on oil residues and that the carbon dioxide would be permanently stored underground, the governor of California showed up for the announcement.

Nick knew he was talking of the finger-printing of oil residues, the breakdown of samples of the slick under gas spectroscopy which could match them exactly to the samples taken by the Coast Guard from the offender's tanks.

The selective intercalation of ions such as benzenedicarboxylates and nitrophenols has importance because these are produced in isomeric mixtures from crude oil residues, and it is often desirable to isolate a single form, for instance in the production of polymers.

Regards, ProfHoff 739 I would go to someplace like Home Depot, Menards, Ace or Loews and ask them what they suggest--a good wood cleaning product (not to strip it, just to clean it) might get oil residues off without ruining the finish.

Subsidiaries of BP and Edison International said yesterday that they were planning to build a power plant that would run on oil residues, and that 90 percent of the carbon dioxide would be captured and pumped into an oil field, where it would help push more oil to the surface.
