🔧 Applications in Oil Spill and Marine Operations
🛢️ Open Water Oil Spill Remediation
- Applied via surface spraying systems (manual or via aircraft, vessels, or drones).
- Emulsifies and lifts oil slicks off the water surface, enabling easy removal by skimming or natural degradation.
- Does not push oil down into the water column (a major issue with dispersants like Corexit).
🚢 Onboard Ship Cleaning
- Used on decks, engine rooms, bilges, cargo holds, and machinery to remove oil buildup, fuel leaks, or hydraulic fluid spills.
- Compatible with both manual scrubbing and high-pressure foam systems.
🏖️ Coastal and Shoreline Cleanup
- Applied directly to contaminated rocks, beach sands, and vegetation.
- Lifts hydrocarbons from surfaces and encapsulates them for easy rinsing and safe collection.
- Especially effective for port authorities, coastal guards, and environmental restoration groups.
🧯 Fire Departments & Hazmat Teams
- Used during emergency response to road or marine vehicle accidents involving fuel or oil discharge.
- AQUAQUICK 2000 neutralizes dangerous slicks on road surfaces or boat ramps.
