Kevin Costner’s oil skimming technology that successfully separates oil and water called “liquid-liquid separation centrifuges,” can process 200 gallons of contaminated ocean water each minute. Yeah. Minute!
Costner founded and funded Ocean Therapy Solutions and parent company Blue Planet Solutions which manufactures the contraptions and now, the actor is looking for some business partners. Costner got an approval in June to place 32 of his machines into the Gulf of Mexico and is now looking for help while attending ONS 2010, an oil and energy industry panel in Stavanger, Norway. Costner hopes to find business partners that will help him to propel his technology forward.
