OIL SPILLS APPLICATION ON WATER.

Method 1: Spray ENZYMATIC onto the perimeter of the oil spill to retard its spreading.

Method 2: Spray ENZYMATIC onto the entire surface of the spill. Standard high pressure spray equipment can be used to apply ENZYMATIC.

Attacking the spill either totally or at critical perimeters will require only ordinary liquid application equipment such as a tank, pump and nozzle that can apply ENZYMATIC at high pressure.

Dilute the concentrate 15 to 1 with either fresh or salt water. For general application 85 litre's of ENZYMATIC mixed with 1200 litre's of water will treat one hectare of surface area.

For heavy application 5cm deep or more it is recommended that the ENZYMATIC solution be applied up to 3 treatments over consecutive days may be necessary.

APPLICATION:
SHORE AREAS ALREADY CONTAMINATED.

ENZYMATIC a mixture of 15 parts water to 1 part concentrate should be applied to contaminated beaches, shore structures, and vegetation. It is recommended that a through soaking of the effect beach area be done at low tide. High tide will then help cleanse the area of oil, break down residues and leach out the balance. The beach area not reached by high tide should be thoroughly sprayed, followed in 4 to 5 hours with a water rinse to aid the digesting process.

If oil is deposited on land areas above high tide level, turn the contaminated soil with a disc a few days after applying ENZYMATIC. The earth should then be sprayed with one part ENZYMATIC mixed with 30 parts of water, followed with a water rinse in 3 days.

ENZYMATIC.

In collaboration with Dr.Harold Machamer, an experiment was devised to determine the efficacy of ENZYMATIC in solubilizing crude oil slicks under laboratory conditions.

To stimulate wave actions, a rotation table was set at 45 revolution / minute with a 3/4 inch displacement. Pans (10"x12"x 3"deep) were mounted on the platform for 48 hours.

One litre of either deionised water or artificial seawater (Instant Ocean TM by Aquarium Systems) was placed in the pan. In the experiments with sand, 800g of water washed beach sand was added. ENZYMATIC was diluted 1:15,then used at 10 gallon / 14,000 ft2. This worked out to 10.5 mL dilute ENZYMATIC/pan. Each experiment contained 2.O mL (1.82 g) of API 22 crude (USA origin)

All the experiments, which contained ENZYMATIC, showed substantial solubilisation of the oil when compared to identical set-ups, which did not contain ENZYMATIC. The solubilized oil content was determined by extracting 100 mL water with 4x50 mL aliquots of Freon (1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2,- trifluoroethane)

In summary addition of ENZYMATIC resulted in the solubilisation or emulsification of substantial amounts of the crude oil in freshwater and seawater both with and without sand present. The product should be highly effective in controlling oil spills.
