Correlation of Ohmsett Dispersant Tests With At-Sea Trials: Supplemental Tests. Final Report

摘要

Dispersant effectiveness tests for the Minerals Management Service project, 'Dispersant Effectiveness Tests: Relating Results From Ohmsett to At-Sea Tests,' (SL Ross et al. 2005) were completed at Ohmsett in October 2003. The primary objectives of the project were met, but two secondary objectives were only partly achieved: 1. Measuring dispersant performance in the Ohmsett tank, with high dispersant-to-oil ratios (DORs) that had yielded high levels of effectiveness at sea; and 2. Conducting replicate control runs for both test oils (IFO 180 and IFO 380) at wave frequencies of 30 and 33.3 cpm. This project addressed these two deficiencies. The project involved a total of seven supplemental dispersion tests using IFO 180 and 380 fuel oils.
