In oil removal operations where oil is to be burned of it is necessary to sink ceramic balls into the oil to float on the water to insulate the oil from the cold. If an oil spill were to ignite and this was not desirable fire boats could spray water mist onto the flame base to cool the oil and douse the fire. More likely the fire. would be allowed to burn itaelf out
