Its application, both surface and subsurface, is a critical element in preventing significant oiling of sensitive shoreline habitats during an oil spill response.
- Dispersing Agents: Learn The Basics In 3 Simple StepsDispersants are substances or chemicals that are used to improve the dispersion or uniform distribution of particles in a medium, typically a liquid. The primary goal of dispersants is to prevent agglomeration or clumping of particles, enabling them to remain stably dispersed throughout the medium.
