| Description |
The study examined various
ways that dispersant testing might be accomplished at Ohmsett and evaluated
the feasibility and costs. Four issues were evaluated:
-
effect of dispersant in
the tank water after multiple tests on the results of subsequent
dispersant tests;
-
effect of residual
dispersant in the tank water on slick behavior and equipment buoyancy
during subsequent mechanical clean up equipment tests;
-
effect of turbidity from
clouds of dispersed oil on underwater viewing and photography during
subsequent tests;
-
evaluation of methods to
remove dissolved dispersant and suspended oil from the tank water after
dispersant testing as well as their practicality and cost.
