Dispersant storage, maintenance, transport and testing/Хранение, техническое обслуживание, транспортировка и испытания диспергатора

Dispersant use can mitigate the overall impact of an oil spill by removing oil from the sea’s surface (or avoiding oil surfacing in the case of subsea use), thereby protecting marine mammals, birds, coastal habitats and shorelines.
Dispersant can also improve responder health and safety by reducing the concentrations of volatile organic compounds in the vicinity of a release, particularly in subsea scenarios. Their use can, however, result in a short-term increase in hydrocarbon exposure for aquatic organisms residing in the water column proximal to the dispersant application. Dispersants enhance the natural biodegradation processes that break down oil.
This report examines the considerations for storage, maintenance, transportation and retesting of dispersant stocks.
