Popis: | Recent data with a modern demulsifying oil spill dispersant (Corexit 9500) challenge old viscosity limits for the window of opportunity for dispersant use on viscous oils and emulsions. The demulsification capability of the dispersant to reverse and significantly reduce the viscosity of emulsified oil was demonstrated. This demulsification effect is a prelude to dispersion of the oil. In addition, high effectiveness was demonstrated on no. 6 fuel oil fractions with viscosities over 40,000 cP, well beyond previous indicated limits. |
