With 32 centrifuges it takes about 13 hours to process the entire barge. Without knowing how long it takes to scoop that amount of slick from the water it is impossible to say whether it is fast enough or not. -- Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply indicates you are not using the right tools... nico(a)nctdevpuntnl (punt=.) --------------------------------------------------------------

It would at the very most take only FOUR for a 500,000 gallon job to be done in 13 hrs. It takes longer than that to put that much into the barge from the slick. 32? What field of work did you pursue? Hope it didn't involve math.

All of his time was not devoted to this one project, and even though ten years passed, there was not ten man/years worth of labor in that period. That makes you VERY dumb, since you cannot even measure labor with any common sense. You really are one thick ditz.
