Portable, diesel powered dispersant spray system. Twin spray system (TS) with AFEDO nozzles. Hand start diesel engine driving a Hypro 6500 roller pump. Pressure and RPM gauges to set appropriate flow rate. AFEDO nozzle system features two (port and starboard) specially developed even drop out nozzles as alternative to spray arms. Spray pattern is even along the swath width. Includes PPE.  Packaged in K-4 container with liner that can be used as temporary storage, capacity of 552 gal./13 bbl./2 m3.

Mount system on a boat for dispersant application on oil slicks.

Apply dispersants concentrated (neat) or diluted. Operating manual has data and tables for application rates based on boat speed and desired quantity per area. The unit should be positioned within 5 m. of the AFEDO nozzles and for easy access to the dispersant storage tank. Universal clamps are included for mounting on vessel. Extension hoses may be required on larger vessles. Pump has a maximum suction lift of 3 m. for sea water dilution. Hand lances are available for spot treatment.

System should be mounted on a vessel as far forward as possible. A 4-ft. by 4-ft. area is required for the pump and frame. In addition to considering the distance to the spill site from a dispersant re-supply site, the location and availability of deck space for the stowage of an onboard dispersant supply (330 gal. tote or 55-gal. drum) can significantly affect the overall vessel dispersant operation. The dispersant containers must be securely fastened to vessel to avoid CG shift and capsize potential.
