Pattaya Company Proposes Solution to the Gulf Oil Spill

Drew Noyes, President of  Aqua Solar Wind Co., Ltd said, "Our patent pending design has been submitted to BP at their request and we are in on-going communication with BP disaster response engineers on this. Given the size of the problem BP is dealing with and the options open to them, their decision making process may be elongated but we are certain that our design can make a significant contribution to their efforts to bring an end to this environmental and financial disaster."

"If our device is selected for use we believe it can hold the oil surge long enough for the drilling of the two relief wells, scheduled for completion by mid September" Noyes added. 

 Alfred Wilhelm, the Technical Director of Aqua Solar Wind Co., Ltd said, "I am certain that this device will work by overcoming many of the obstacles which to date seem to have been ignored".

The device consists of a number of 40 foot freight containers welded together as shown in the diagram. The top 3 containers are filled with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved sealant and the bottom has a heavy rubber skirt to ensure a close fit to the uneven ocean floor. Once in place over the leaking well, the sealant in the upper containers is released to the ocean floor ensuring a tight leak free fit. The oil and gas then fills the containers and is funneled to the surface for capture.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill, also known as the BP oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the BP oil disaster or the Macondo blow out, is a massive ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that is now considered the largest offshore spill in U.S. history. Some estimates placed it by late May or early June, 2010, as among the largest oil spills in the world with tens of millions of gallons spilled to date. The spill stems from a sea floor oil gusher that resulted from the April 20, 2010 Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion. The explosion killed 11 platform workers and injured 17 others.

Aqua Solar Wind Co., Ltd. with offices in Germany and the USA is based in Pattaya and holds eight international patents on devices utilizing wind, solar and water power conversions into usable electricity.  Currently, the Royal Thai Air Force is field testing several double bladed and vertical bladed wind turbines designed by the engineering team at Aqua Solar Wind Co., Ltd.

Thailand's oldest foreign operated company, B. Grimm, is considering using another Aqua Solar Wind Co., Ltd  invention to aerate holding ponds at Pattaya's Thai Polo Club which will also create usable energy from the same devices.

Aqua Solar Wind Co., Ltd is also in the process of submitting another project to Pattaya City Hall to offer free electricity to portable units such as toilets, temporary command centers and mobile trailers.
