Summary
The ability to disperse spilled oils at sea depends on several factors. The work described in this report was a ’return to the basics’ of using dispersants; an attempt to use a matrix of oil viscosity, dispersant brand, dispersant treatment rate and prevailing sea conditions to provide information on the limiting oil viscosity of dispersion by using a very simple method of visual observation to determine whether dispersion was or was not occurring.
