Rapid test for dispersant effectiveness at oil spill sites

Book ·
OSTI ID:6555758
This report offers an evaluation of four existing field tests for rapid determination of dispersant effectiveness at oil spill sites demonstrated that EPA's Field Dispersant Effectiveness Test showed that promise even though it consistently produced higher dispersant effectiveness values for darker oils and lower values for lighter oils. A new portable test was developed in the project that is not oil-color dependent, is simple and inexpensive to construct and easy to use, and produces rapid, reliable results.
