In the real world, in good condition

In the real world, in good conditions, you get about 10 to 15 percent, said David Guest, a lawyer who runs the Florida chapter of Earthjustice. Skimmers are a big illusion.That criticism, though, is just as speculative as claims for skimmers efficacy, according to marine scientists.A 90-10 ratio seems too high on the water side, said Arturo Keller, a biogeochemistry professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara. At that point, thered be nothing to skim.The choppiness of the water, the distance of the oil from the leaking wellhead and even the skill of the boats crews are all factors that can determine how much crude is being skimmed at any given time Even the vessels themselves vary widely, from specially designed vessels equipped with on-board oil separation facilities to retrofitted fishing boats towing containment boom.
