BP has ordered 32 machines from Ocean Therapy Solutions following owner Kevin Costner's testimony before the United States Congress. The machines separate oil and water, and each machine can extract up to 2,000 barrels of oil per day from the Gulf. BP spokesman Bill Salvin confirmed the company has contracted with Costner and Ocean Therapy Solutions to use the machines.

BP agreed to use the technology after testing machines during the past week. "We are very pleased with the results and today we have placed a significant order with OTS (Costner's Ocean Therapy Solutions) and will be working with them to rapidly manufacture and deploy 32 of their machines," said Doug Suttles, BP's chief operating officer.

Some other companies also suggested their own decisions for cleanup the Gulf, which also are claimed to be very effective. For example, Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc. (EVTN) was featured on the CNBC Television Show "Power Lunch," and during the show it was announced that British Petroleum notified EVTN that it is reviewing EVTN's Voraxial Separator technology for possible application to its oil spill response program. . Many other ideas to clean-up the Gulf also has been suggested.

In their environmental analysis of the proposed well BP stated that in the unlikely event of an accidental spill "water quality would be temporarily affected by the decomposed components and small droplets", but that "currents and microbial degradation would remove the oil from the water column or dilute the constituents to the background level". They saw "no adverse activities to fisheries" and no danger to endangered or threatened marine mammals and no adverse impact to birds.

The spill threatens environmental disaster due to factors such as petroleum toxicity and oxygen depletion. More than 400 species live in the islands and marshlands at risk, including the endangered Kemp's Ridley turtle. In the national refuges most at risk, about 34,000 birds have been counted, including gulls, pelicans, roseate spoonbills, egrets, terns, and blue herons. A comprehensive inventory of offshore species in the Gulf of Mexico completed in 2009 counted 15,700 species of sea life, with those in the area of the oil spill numbering 8,332 plant and animal species, including more than 1,200 fish, 200 bird, 1,400 mollusk, 1,500 crustacean, 4 sea turtle, and 29 marine mammal species. As of June 15, there had been 1152 dead animals found in the spill zone including 770 dead birds, 341 sea turtles, and 41 dolphins and other mammals, with some reports of dolphins being spotted running low on food, and 'acting drunk' apparently from effects of the spill. There may be other dead animals that go unfound. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, it has not yet been determined if these animals were killed by the oil. Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia indicated that the oil could harm fish directly, and microbes used to consume the oil would also add to the reduction of oxygen in the water, with effects being felt higher up the food chain. According to Joye, it could take the ecosystem years and possibly decades to recover from such an infusion of oil and gas. Oceanographer Ian MacDonald believes the natural gas dissolving below the surface has the potential to reduce the Gulf oxygen levels and carry forth huge amounts of benzene and other toxic compounds. On May 18, 2010, BP chief executive Tony Hayward insisted the environmental impact of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will be "very, very modest." Harry Roberts, a professor of Coastal Studies at Louisiana State University has told Bloomberg in early June 2001 that a hypothetical total of 4 million barrels of oil released would be enough to "wipe out marine life deep at sea near the leak and elsewhere in the Gulf" as well as "along hundreds of miles of coastline," while AMak Saito, an Associate Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts indicated that such an amount of oil "may alter the chemistry of the sea, with unforeseeable results."

[derekstech]

I think bruce braley should step on his face!

BP document: "Who cares. It's done. End of story. We'll probably be fine and get a good cement job."

Safety first eh BP.

@pockmarkedbuttocks

Is this video of a court hearing?

[Copper4head]

BP needs to find a new name if they are to continue business, as a precaution. No one should trust the company to do reliable business with, after this major incident.

@djcoakley

The name of the country does not signify any deep connection between the company & the nation, not once it has become a multi-national company.

BP should be banned, in any case, from drilling or working. in the United States of America's boarders.

He looks good for a 53 year old.

[djcoakley]

BP(British Petroleum) will be AP (American Petroleum)

@ecnatsid this is all a show to keep activisists and people who care about the oil spill to feel like the system is working.
