Costner's high-speed centrifuge machine has a Los Angeles-perfect name: "Ocean Therapy."

Placed on a barge, it sucks in large quantities of polluted water, separates out the oil and spits back 97% clean water.

"It's like a big vacuum cleaner," said Costner's business partner, Louisiana trial lawyer John Houghtaling.

"The machines are basically sophisticated centrifuge devices that can handle a huge volume of water," he said.

The Q is, how fast and how efficiently. I mean, even just burning the slick 'works.' ...for that matter, just letting mother nature break it down 'works' too.

Anyway, just one machine... How do they feed the machine? ...lots of skimmer booms, I suppose.
