Abstract

ABSTRACT An agricultural forced-air spray gun was modified to apply dispersant from the deck of a ship at sea. Under no-wind conditions, this sprayer had a range of up to 30 meters; with the wind behind it, dispersant could be applied over a slick area up to 60 meters from the ship. Further development will involve testing in actual spill conditions by one of the subsidiaries of the Elf Aquitaine Group.
