The fire was caused by the ignition of hydrocarbon vapor released during the off-loading of basic sediment and water (BS&W) from the two vacuum trucks into an open area collection pit. BS&W is an oil/gas exploration and production (E&P) waste liquid. The BS&W was contaminated with highly flammable condensate. During the off-loading, vapor off-gassed from the BS&W and was drawn into the air intakes of the vacuum trucks' running diesel engines. As a result, the engines began to race and backfire.
Agencies responsible for cleaning up oil spills -- like the Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency -- have some clever and relatively simple methods. It's fortunÂ­ate that oil and water mix like, well, oil and water. When an oil spill occurs, the oil forms a millimeter-thick slick that floats on the water.leanup crews may set the oil on fire in a process called in situ burning, but this produces toxic smoke, and probably wouldn't be used in a spill near coastal settlements. An oil spill reached relatively quickly and located away from towns is the easiest to clean up by one of these methods.
