OSRR-542-Dispersant Effectiveness Testing on Realistic Emulsions at Ohmsett
This project will determine the viscosity limit for the effective application of chemical dispersants to realistic emulsions.
Small wave tank experiments will be used to confirm that the oil selected for use in this project will form stable emulsions. The preliminary effectiveness tests will provide information for determining the testing order of the emulsions. Tests where effectiveness is expected to be poor will be conducted first to prevent tank fouling for subsequent tests.
