Operating

The spraying ramp is used on a boat to spread a dispersant or an accelerating agent of biological breakup on a oil layer.

The dispersant is mixed directly with water in a tank of 800 L. The mixture is aspired by a  pump in the tank and then sprayed trough nozzles mounted on each boat sides.

A second model of ramp is equipped with a pipe of sea water aspiration, assembled on one of the ramps. The pure dispersant is directly diluted in the water suction pipe. The device is lighter (not tank) and allows a greater autonomy.

Characteristics

A spraying ramp consists of :

§         a motor driven pump : pump (86 I/mn), a  diesel motor  7,5 CV,

§         a tank of 800 I or a pipe of aspiration, directly  immersed in the sea water, 

§       2 arms of 6 m long, stainless steel 316 L,
