Dispersant Effectiveness Field Test Kit is designed for operators to be able to undertake a quick effective test on possible dispersants to use during an oil spill response. By performing this test operators are able to provide more rigorous information to the decision-makers about the likely effectiveness of the various oil spill dispersants (OSDs) on their product(s).
Note: The window of opportunity for the use of OSDs on slicks at sea is often very limited. It is recommended that initial dispersant effectiveness testing be carried out as soon as possible
