The dry it up with special materials.  Also, they have been know to vacuum it up.  Additionally, I have seen them using bulldozers and scooping the contaminated sand up and replacing it with new sand.  They try and wash the oil off all of the animals that were unlucky enough to get caught up in the spill.

It´s possible, first step is settle the water. Then water pass to biological treatment to low DQO. You could sell the oil to refinery and they cracking the mix again to break the chains into other materials.

Baby oil or cooking oil will smother it and it will drop off.

This leads not only to costly equipment repair, but to expensive down time as well. Combine that with new, stricter environmental regulations concerning the disposal of waste oil, and you have a potential operating capital drain. With the application being Hydraulic oil, the primary degrader of oil, HEAT, is not a factor. Water and dirt particles are the enemies of the hydraulic oil.\n\nOur engineered process removes these contaminants¹ quickly and efficiently. Our portable systems will connect to the injection molding machine oil reservoir through two 1² lines. The units can be equipped with quick connect/disconnect fittings. The flow rates range from 3 ­ 24 GPM and filter through three filtration stages. Using a cycle of passes through the system, 98 percent of all contaminants are removed from the hydraulic oil. This simple service can extend your hydraulic oil life 8 ­ 10 times or more.\n\nThe Glanon Hydraulic Oil Filtration System is shipped from the factory equipped and ready for immediate service. Portable and easily maneuverable, this system can service multiple Injection Molding Machines in a single day.\n\nAn Injection Molding Machine can easily be serviced without manually draining and refilling the oil. Hydraulic system maintenance hours will be reduced, oil life will be increased, and environmental impact will be minimized.

Supercritical carbon dioxide at high pressure can be used to remove (clean) oil and grease from contaminated material.  As the CO2 expands it removes the oil and grease allowing it to be separated out and the CO2 can be recycled for further use.

for that...the best remedy is toothpaste. dab ample amount of toothpaste and just go to sleep. the toothpaste will absorb the oils. always worked for me.. my husband taught me this and it's really amazing. it's best when you do it at the earliest stage.\nhope this works for you too and other out there.

Try some soap and water, (dawn dish washing liquid) cuts the grease. Good luck and God bless

Oil wells are typically much deeper than groundwater, so I would not expect most wells to fill with groundwater (and the original oil would float if they were in contact).\n\nIf the oil field was in direct contact with ocean water, the oil would have flowed out and been replaced with water already.\n\nWhat is likely to happen is that the ground will sink as the liquid is removed, just like most ground "subsides" when water is pumped out of it.

Air Pollution (smoke...)\nWater Pollution (oil spills, garbage)\nPollution on Land (garbage....)\n\nOil spills in the ocean are very difficult to deal with because it requires alot of work to clean up as the ocean is so vast and the oil spreads quickly.  It is also very difficult to deal with because alot of organisms die in the ocean from the oil before it is able to be cleaned up.

Mineral oil or baby oil are best.  Vegetable oil tends to get sticky instead of slick.

Do it outside on concrete. DON'T DO IT IN THE GRASS. Make sure to wear pants and long sleaves so the oil doesn't splatter all over you. Just use common since

You have an Airetool tube cleaner.  Look at\npage 69 in the catalog listed below.\n\nIn the oil industry, they use something called a\ngel pig to clean out the pipeline.  I'm guessing\nthat's not what you want, however.

Simple, just follow this process respectively. Since its one whole of a solution. Begin with distillation. This will get rid of the oil, sand+dirt and the salty water. \n\nDirt+sand - you could add water and then sieve the dirt and water. as for the dirt distilation.\n\nSalty water - you just need to heat the solution and distill the vapour to have your water other wise the salt will form crystals and loose water to the atmosphere thus nice dry sodium cloride crystals. \n\nHope you got answered....
