Oil spill dispersant for environmentally friendly oil spill control)
macjames mosd-18 – oil spill dispersant is an innovative, effective and environmentally friendly viscous dispersant formulated and manufactured with a blend of high concentrates of ionic and nonionic surface active agents (surfactants) into oleophilic solvents (oil-soluble). It is a third generation dispersant (a concentrate water-dilutable dispersant) which contains higher concentration of surfactants in water miscible solvents. It does not contain any petroleum distillates but uses glycols as the solvents, making it more environmentally friendly (biodegradable) than most dispersants in use today. Formulated in collaboration with an oil-servicing company in nigeria and use severally in different projects, when applied to oil spill on the surface of the sea, the solvent transports and distributes the surfactants throughout the oil to break up the surface tension of the oil-water interface.
