Fingerprinting process used to determine source of new oil film in sea off Laem Charoen beach

Officials from Thailand’s Pollution Control Department (PCD) and Marine and Coastal Resources Department have collected samples from a film of oil floating in the sea near Laem Charoen beach, in Rayong province, to be tested using an oil fingerprinting technique to determine the source of the latest spill, said PCD Director-General Attapol Charoenchansa today (Tuesday).

 

According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), fingerprinting oil to discover its source is a complex procedure that has both qualitative and quantitative components. Virtually all oils contain the same hydrocarbon structures, but the relative quantities of these structures depend on the source of the oil.

 

Attapol said that it would take about a week to define the source of the spill with the technique.
