This project, to studying the physico-chemical characteristics and weathering properties of IM-5 Wakashio (VLSFO, S <0.50 % m/m), has been funded by Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA). This is a supplement study to the on-going IMAROS/EU project led by the NCA. The main objective has been to...

A Weathering study has been conducted on Fogelberg condensate. The weathering study is based on a small-scale laboratory testing at 13 degrees C. The SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) is used to predict the weathering properties of Fogelberg at sea. The weathering properties of Fogelberg are...

A weathering study including dispersibility testing has been conducted on Skogul crude oil. The study comprised a standardized small-scale laboratory - and a meso-scale flume testing conducted at 13 °C. In addition, dispersants have been tested simulating subsea dispersant injection (SSDI) on a...

A weathering study has been conducted on Dvalin condensate. The weathering study is based on a small-scale laboratory testing at 13 °C. The SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) is used to predict the weathering properties of Dvalin at sea. The weathering properties of Dvalin are discussed in relation...

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...

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...
