This Multi-client project "Characterization of Low Sulfur Fuel Oils (LSFO) - A new generation of marine fuel oils" has been a 1-year project (2019-2020). The project has been funded by MPRI/DFO Canada, ITOPF and the Norwegian Coastal Administration. In order to meet new requirements for lower sul...

A weathering study has been conducted on Visund Sør condensate and Visund crude oil. The weathering study is based on a small-scale laboratory testing at 13 °C. The SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM was used to predict the weathering of Visund Sør and Visund if spilled on the sea surface. The weather...

A weathering study including dispersibility has been conducted on Oda crude oil. This study included a standardized small-scale laboratory testing and a meso-scale flume experiment at 13 °C. The SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) was used to predict the weathering properties of Oda crude oil if spill...

Målsettingen med dette prosjektet har vært å utføre dispergeringstester som inkluderer både screening og doseringstesting med ulike dispergeringsmidler, og teste disse på ulike oljeprodukter av type marin gassolje (MGO), hybridoljer (ULFSO og HDME50) og lav-svovel bunkersolje (IFO-180LS). Dette for ...

A weathering study has been conducted on Brasse crude oil. This study included a small­scale laboratory study and a meso-scale flume basin experiment. In addition, standardized dispersibility tests was conducted on various dispersants and their efficiency was determined using the SINTEF Minitower to...

SINTEF has conducted a verification study (re-check) of Draugen crude oil collected in 2018 to determine if weathering data collected from Draugen crude oil collected in 2008 is still valid. Weathering properties of Draugen 2018 were obtained in the laboratory following standard methods and compared...

A weathering study oil has been performed on the Drivis crude oil. In addition, dispersibility testing was also conducted in order to establish a "window of opportunity" for the use of the oil spill dispersants in a spill response scenario...

A weathering study on Sigyn condensate has been performed at 13"C, in 5mall-scale laboratory. The obtained weathering data were used as input to the SINTEF's Oil Weathering mode! (OWM) to predict the Sigyn condensate behaviour at different weather conditions in a spill situation at sea. The weatheri...

A weathering study and dispersibility testing were performed on Wisting Central crude oil at 5 degrees C. The SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) was used to predict the weathering properties of Wisting Central at 2 and 5 degrees C. The weathering properties were also discussed in relation to oil sp...
