Abstract
Onshore oil spills are directly related to soil contamination and significantly impact groundwater, vegetation, and human life. Immediate cleanup work is carried out when an oil spill occurs, but the currently used preventive measures are insufficient. Therefore, this study independently developed a smart liner that allows general groundwater flow but blocks groundwater in the event of a spill to prevent further spread, and aims to verify the excellence of the product through verification. Because the verification of the smart liner performance in real-life conditions is difficult for various reasons, large-scale experiments were simulated using a container. The Roll Spreading and Inserting Method (RSIM) and Panel Injecting Method (PIM) were used as installation methods due to the properties of the material employed. Through rainfall simulations, the discharge amount and groundwater levels before and after an oil spill were measured, and a reaction diagram was created following the smart liner’s demolition. From the results, it was found that both installation methods successfully blocked more than 99% of the drainage, and soil contaminants were not detected outside the installation area. These results confirm the effectiveness of the smart liner. Additionally, the reaction diagram indicated that the RSIM and PIM installation reaction areas were identical, validating the suitability of both methods. By conducting this study, the performance of the smart liner was verified, demonstrating its potential as an effective preventive measure against the spread of oil contamination in soil.
