Quema in situ: Una técnica de limpieza para derrames de hidrocarburos
Se reconoce que la quema in situ es una alternativa viable de los métodos mecánicos para la limpieza de derrames de hidrocarburos en agua y en áreas costeras cercanas, humedales y otras situaciones en tierra. Cuando se realiza correctamente y en las condiciones adecuadas, la quema in situ puede reducir rápidamente el volumen de hidrocarburos derramados y eliminar la necesidad de recoger, almacenar, transportar y disponer de los hidrocarburos recuperados. La quema in situ puede acortar el tiempo de respuesta a un derrame de hidrocarburos, reduciendo así las probabilidades de que el derrame de hidrocarburos se extienda en la superficie del agua, protegiendo de ese modo la biota acuática. La rápida eliminación de hidrocarburos puede asimismo impedir que estos lleguen a las costas, que son difíciles de limpiar y es donde se produce el mayor daño ambiental causado por los derrames de hidrocarburos.
