something called the Voraxial Separator.
BAYOU CHICO - BP is also working on some new approaches and technologies to help capture the oil that's already spilled.

They demonstrated some them for the media on Bayou Chico today.

BP's Vessels of Opportunity Program is downsizing at least when it comes to inland waters.
These smaller skimmer boats are part of a "rat pack" or Rapid Attack Team.

Really what we're thinking is teams of six to twelve in environmentally sensitive areas inlets, bays ok fleeted up, ready to go when we have oil hit.

The concept is to have a faster vessel, meaning 15, 20, 25 knots that can actually move to a location, and then actually drop to the appropriate speed for skimming drop the equipment into the water, then skim at 1, 2, even as much as three knots.

Along with showing us how some of these smaller boats are working together, they're also showing us how some of the new technology on these boats actually works.

Since April, we've all been working together to look for new solutions.

That's the goal of BP's hit team one of those new solutions is something called the Voraxial Separator.

This land version shows how it separates oil out of water and delivers it into a separate holding container.

Its the same concept with this real world version.
Its gonna be over the side, so its not taking oil up, water and oil up its actually gonna be separating the oil, if there was any out here in the marina from the water directly.
