Product Description:
OIL SPILL DISPERSANT is the 3rd generation dispersant, approved as Type II and Type III from the Greek General Chemical State Laboratory, as per the latest European Union regulations. It can be used concentrated or diluted to a ratio of 1:10 depending on the contamination level. It is an efficient and environmental friendly product containing no hydrocarbons. It has been specifically designed for oil dispersion at sea, at shore and in port, either on–or–off board.

If deposits are allowed to form on heat exchangers, the loss of efficiency can be directly related to extra fuel consumption. A 1 mm deposit is approximately equivalent to a 10% efficiency loss, a 3 mm deposit can reduce efficiency by up to 50%. The normal ignition temperature of soot is around 600°C. This means that it is burned only in the hottest parts of the boiler or diesel exhaust systems. Due to the catalytic action of Soot Remover, the ignition temperature of the soot/deposit is reduced to less than 280°C. The carbon deposits are thus ignited, leaving an easily removed ash.

Directions for Use and Dose Rates
A. Dosing Procedure At Sea The quantity of OIL SPILL DISPERSANT to be used depends on three main factors: the quantity of oil spilled, the type of oil spilled and the weather conditions (prevailing and forthcoming). However, experience and expertise have proved that an adequate volume of OIL SPILL DISPERSANT to be used is 1litre per 15–20m2 (1 gallon per 75–100 square yards ) as tested on a spillage of Kuwait crude oil.
For Diesel engines, inject Soot Remover directly into the exhaust system upstream of the area to be treated.

At Shore The quantity of OIL SPILL DISPERSANT demanded in this case, depends on the size of contamination in the affected area. Repetition of the cleaning process may be necessary, until oil–spill elimination is complete. On Ship Follow the Procedure as per Paragraph At Shore.
B. Cleaning Procedure At Sea
1. Determine the oil–spillage size and kind.
2. Prepare the tools necessary to apply the product, undiluted, as specified, using the OIL CLEAN KIT equipment.
3. Spray the required quantity of the product, with the appropriate spraying equipment, over the oil spill.
4. Wait for a few minutes until oil spill has emulsified.
5. In the case of a persistent/stubborn oil spill, repeat cleaning process until oil spill elimination is complete

At Shore 1. Follow steps 1, 2, 3 as described in part At Sea. 2. Let it soak for few minutes and remove from the treated area. 3. Rinse thoroughly by applying high pressure water source and collect residual using MARICHEM OIL SPILL KIT. Repeat cleaning of contaminated area if necessary.
