Oil Spill Dispersant Supplier Distributor Manufacturer in Kolkata India
Oil Spill Dispersant Emulsifier based product with excellence efficiency and low toxicity with superior penetrating & surface active agents. This product is specially designed for complete emulsification of oil by which dispersion takes place .AREA: At SEA, at shore either in port or off board, FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSE.
An oil dispersant is a mixture of emulsifiers and solvents that helps break oil into small droplets following an oil spill. Small droplets are easier to disperse throughout a water volume, and small droplets may be more readily biodegraded by microbes in the water. Dispersant use involves a trade-off between exposing coastal life to surface oil and exposing aquatic life to dispersed oil. While submerging the oil with dispersant may lessen exposure to marine life on the surface, it increases exposure for animals dwelling underwater, who may be harmed by toxicity of both dispersed oil and dispersant. Although dispersant reduces the amount of oil that lands ashore, it may allow faster, deeper penetration of oil into coastal terrain, where it is not easily biodegraded.
Directions for Use
Oil Spill Dispersant can be applied by spraying from the surface vessels. Used neat it will disperse in practice a ratio of about 2 to 4 times its own volume.Implementation
Application
Oil Spill Dispersant should be sprayed onto the oil slick using spraying equipment connected to booms with spray nozzles supplied by a pump from storage tanks. When using the product the sea surfaces should be agitated using breaker boards, boat propellers, bow wave etc. to help disperse the oil.
When dealing with small spills from vessels, use hand spray pump or an eductor and fire hoses or monitor. This will mix the dispersant with seawater, and agitating the sea will help break up the oil slick as well as applying the dispersant. This technique has also proved valuable when dealing with small spills in ports and harbors between ships side, wharfs and pilings, etc. or any area which has difficult access.
Beach and Shore Application
Oil Spill Dispersant may be used for the beach and shore cleaning. Before using Oil Spill Dispersant on beaches, the local environmental, social, economic and political consideration should be taken into account. Where application is justified, the most appropriate method of use will depend on the type of shore line, type of oil and amount. When a beach has oily liquid from a spill, it is advisable to remove as much of it as possible mechanically before using a dispersant. The amount of dispersant used is dependent on the type of oil. In cases of light to medium crude oils and light to medium fuel oils, Oil Spill Dispersant will be sufficient. Apply the dispersant over the oil working from the low watermark upwards, before a rising tide, or in areas where it is calm or small tidal movements, use hoses to wash down the shore line to remove oil from rocks and beach
