New Test Method for Determination of Sorbent Performance of full size Adsorbents for use on Crude oil and Related Spills

1. Scope
Meso-scale (full size) tests that describe the performance of type I (mat) adsorbents in removing crude oil and other floating, immiscible liquids from the surface of water.
Keywords
sorbent
Rationale

No full size testing protocol currently exists. Some adsorbents are manufactured in such a way that the sorbent pad is not completely uniform in shape. Because of this, testing small coupons of the sorbent may not provide results that are representative of the full size pad. This protocol would provide an option to evaluate full size adsorbent pads.
