Spill response products

Information on the products that can be used to respond to accidental water pollution.

Sorbents

Sorbents are solid products used to collect the pollutant (by impregnation), in order to facilitate recovery.

Dispersants

By promoting the dissemination of oil in the water column, dispersants stimulate and accelerate degradation by the natural environment and prevent oil from arriving on the shore.

Surface washing agents

These are liquid agents used to clean rocks and other oiled surfaces on the shoreline.

Demulsifiers

Demulsifiers are liquids which break up water-in-oil emulsions that have been recovered onshore or at sea.

Bioremediation agents

These products are designed to encourage or speed up the biodegradation of oil, and are used onshore to help restore polluted sites or to treat polluted waste.
