Revolutionary Multi-Layered Smart Liner for Spill Prevention

Abstract

The collection, transportation and storage of crude oil, petroleum products and gas ensure the supply of raw materials to refineries and petrochemical plants, as well as the supply of fuels and lubricants to consumers. Transport plays a particularly important role in this context. Onshore and submarine pipelines are the main means of transport for crude oil and gas. In addition, railways, airways, sea and/or inland waterways and railways are used. In addition, railways, airways, sea and/or inland waterways and roads are used. The transport of crude oil by tankers poses significant economic and environmental risks in the event of an oil spill. Conventional solutions, such as basic containment liners and double-hull tankers, offer limited protection against devastating punctures and leaks. Oil spills remain a serious environmental problem that calls for ongoing efforts to prevent, detect, and respond to them. Finding practical solutions is crucial when it comes to environmental issues including soil and water contamination and wildlife damage. This paper introduces an innovative multi-layered, self-healing, and expandable oil containment system designed to significantly improve the prevention of oil spills in accidents. The proposed system integrates advanced materials, real-time monitoring, and automatic response mechanisms, differentiating it from existing research and commercial solutions. By integrating puncture-resistant materials, self-sealing mechanisms, artificial intelligence-based monitoring and expandable compartments, this system offers a comprehensive and secure approach to the safety of oil transportation.
