SPILLREC project aims at enhancing competitiveness of European SMEs and RTD organizations in the area of waterborne spill response by innovating on design, computer analysis, materials, and manufacture of spill recovery structures and systems. The project will design, produce and test a new spill response structural system, the SPILLREC System and an Open Source code for multi-physical modelling and simulation of fluid- structure interaction in spill recovery systems.

The SPILLREC project aims to produce:

- An innovative spill recovery system, the SPILLREC System, that is economical, easy to store, transport, use, recover and maintain. SPILLREC will also comply with European environmental regulations and standards, as well as with the objectives of the European developing initiatives on maritime pollution.

- An easy to use, scalable and economical Open Source multi-physics modelling and simulation application for fluid-structure interaction of waterborne structures, the SPILLREC Application. The SPILLREC Application will provide many capabilities not existing in the field of spill recovery response, such as the ability to simulate the interaction of structures and multiple fluids. The SPILLREC Application will be able to model and analyse all existing scenarios in the deployment and operation of spill recovery structural systems.

The SPILLREC project will be the outcome of cooperative RTD work between 4 leading European research groups from Germany (FHM) and Spain (CIMNE, UB, AZTI), 4 SMEs from Germany (OPTIMAL, TAO), Spain (BUILDAIR), and the UK (OPEC) , and a harbour organization from Spain (APB). CIMNE is the consortium coordinator.
