Product Use

Portable system to mount on vessel of opportunity to apply dispersants to oil slicks.

 

Operational Considerations

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.
