Abstract
Three petroleum fractions were burned floating on water in confined and unconfined layers, at two thicknesses and in various wave and ice conditions. Ten promoter materials were screened in an effort to improve the ease of ignition and the complete- ness of the burns. The test results continue to suggest that in-situ burning is a promising oil spill response technique.
