eOil = Oil spill processing surveillance and management system.
eOil is a waste processing surveillance and management system based on RFID technology, which will aid in following the contained waste's trail from where the accident happened to the collection points, storage facilities and final processing facilities, and to see in which state it is in at all points. This information is essential for authorities, insurance companies and waste handling organisations. The use of the system will save approximately 45 million euros in collection costs if the accident is about 30000 tonnes of oil and also speed up the collection procedures.

Rescue exercise

First / next milestone - date

2010 May 6^th

First / next milestone - description

Responding to oil spills (= gasoline, lubricants, heavy fuel oil, crude oil) is one of the less known activities of the rescue services. The tools used are peat, sorbents, shovels, booms, boats and excavators. Oil destruction is hard work and time consuming, and takes a lot of know-how and control of logistics. Collectable waste has to be delivered to the processing facility, where it will either be burned or processed until it has been neutralized.
The oil waste is collected mostly in 100 liter sacks 20 kg of waste in each sack.
The information needed regarding these sacks includes e.g.

• What the sack contains
• Where it has been collected
• When it has been collected and when the accident has happened
• How much waste it contains
• Where it is going
• What is its temporary storage facility
• Has it been final processed

The eOil system has been created for waste surveillance and management.
In the rescue exercise we will train how this system with RFID tags will work in real situation.
