Summary
Laboratory tests of oil spill dispersant effectiveness are used around the world to select dispersants for application to specific oils. These tests are presumed, by some, to represent real sea conditions and to provide the user with a result that is representative if not identical to a real dispersant application at sea. A number of tests have been developed over the years. At this time, the two most widely used tests are the Mackay test, otherwise known as the Mackay-Nadeau-Steelman (MNS) test, and the Labofina test, otherwise known as the Warren Springs or rotating flask test. The Mackay test employs a high velocity air stream to energize 6 L of water, whereas the Labofina test uses rotation of a separatory funnel with 250 mL of water. Both tests apply a large amount of energy to the oil/water system.
