DESCRIPTION
|
Polychem Dispersit SPC 1000 (patent pending) is an EPA reviewed, NCP listed water based dispersant to be used on oil discharges or oil spills in accordance with the procedures set forth by the U.S. Coast Guard and other governmental agencies. Polychem Dispersit SPC 1000 has been included in the NCP Product Schedule for use as a dispersant for oil spills. Polychem Dispersit SPC 1000 is a unique aqueous composition with highly effective emulsifiers, dispersants and a water-soluble coupling solvent. Polychem Dispersit SPC 1000 contains no petroleum solvents. Independent testing (J L Ross Env. Ltd.) confirmed that Dispersit has significant effectiveness in fresh and brackish water. Dispersit is particularly well suited for application via a vessel based education system because it maintains effectiveness when diluted with water unlike petroleum based products. Polychem Dispersit SPC 1000 has an overall effectiveness† of 73%, almost 50% better than the EPA requirement and the dominant product and has considerably less aquatic toxicity†† than the dominant petroleum based dispersant. Polychem Dispersit SPC 1000 contains no hazardous material and hence is user-friendly and environmentally safe. |

DISPERSING |
A dispersant to oil ratio of 1 part Polychem Dispersit SPC 1000 to 50 parts of crude oil or an application rate of 2-6 gallons (7.6 liters -8.1 liters) per ton of oil is recommended. | |||

DISPERSING |
A
dispersant
to oil ratio
of 1:10
to 1:20
or about
45-60 gallons
(170-227
liters)
dispersant
per ton
of oil is
recommended.
This rate
is dependent
on the type
of the spill,
weathering,
temperature
and thickness
of the slick.
Spray the
dispersant
on the oil
slick by
any conventional
method:
e.g., spray
boom with
pressure
nozzle or
rotating
atomizers
mounted
on helicopters
or airplanes.
A timely
application
ensures
the highest
degree of
performance. Polychem Dispersit SPC 1000 may be used for both fresh and sea water. The dispersant is also effective in minimizing the volatile emissions from the oil spill. |
