Jimbo, you’ve got it. The 210,000 gallons is inadequate compared to the spill rate. Add to this the fact that since this article was first published we have learned that much more oil was spilling per day than 210,000 gallons. But BP has purchased 32 centrifuges, which can process more than 6 million gallons of water per day.

Am a little confused with the #’s. They say one centrifuge can clean 210,000 gals of water a day, and then state 210,000 gals are spilling from the remains of the platform… I could see this technology working great used on a pumping rig to help clean up any spillage that may occur during normal operations. But if they are talking of cleaning 210,000 gallons of water a day per centrifuge in the ocean, then it seems like a drop in the bucket, even with 500 centrifuges. I assume they are talking about cleaning the water that has been skimmed and contained already and can be channeled into the centrifuge?

Been in the centrifuge biz for over 20 years… I am lost as to why the “big” players have un tapped this end.
Only concern would be wear and tear if stainless is used due to the salt, dont forget the “liner” kevin.
Best of luck!!!

Groovy Kev. Let’s see, one machine, maximum water filtration is 210k gallons per 24 hours. Hmmm… Wonder if anyone has figured out how many billions, no trillions of gallons in the many hundreds of square miles of surface water will need to be treated. Basically, the best pump ‘ol Kos and his investors are offering is one that is capable treating the amount of water it takes to fill a large swimming pool every 24 hours. So we’re talking many 100’s of thousand of these suckers running non stop for how many centuries to pick up the oil. And we’re talking surface oil only. Talk about a drop in the bucket. Idiots – no greedy idiots leading the blind and desperate. I think the ol’ boys with the oil sucking hay idea are light years ahead of Kos and his boys.

Has Google purchased this technology, yet?
Is Tesla looking for a quick, profit-center?
Have the VC’s opened offices in Costner’s backyard, yet?
Love to see innovation from unlikely sources…Costner Industries better get ready for the sharks to come swimming and for an in-flux of biz plans from MIT.

I’ve worked with continuous-flow industrial centrifuges and they are a simple and very effective device. This works. However, I think the big problem is corraling the oil before it sticks to all the living things that call the Gulf home.
