VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: GTS-OR may clean oil from beaches, rocks, riprap, pilings, and seawalls. GTS-OR application method can be adjusted depending on the scale and type of area to be cleaned. For large areas, GTS-OR can be sprayed from water trucks or water boats equipped with pumps, hoses, and nozzles to deliver the product as an aerial spray. The pump should be equipped with a chemical inductor or feed pump. In smaller applications, GTS-OR can be applied directly onto oiled surfaces using a pressure washer, steam powered unit, fire hose, or chemical boom sprayer with nozzles at mid-pressure (i.e., approximately 100 PSI) that produce a shearing action. For small applications, the product may be applied with mops, cloth, or damp sponges. For application in tidally influenced areas and to maximize contact time, GTS-OR should be applied during ebb tide (i.e., receding). Oil trapped between rocks or in crevices may be released over several days, requiring containment devises to be left in place. 2. Concentration/Application Rate: For heavily weathered oil on rocks, a diluted solution of 15 parts water to 1 part product is recommended. For heavily weathered oil on beaches/sand, a diluted solution of 10 parts water to 1 part product is ideal. For lightly-to-moderately oiled shorelines, mangroves, and seagrasses, the product should be sprayed directly to the affected surface at a 1:20 dilution ratio; a 1:10 dilution ratio is preferred for heavily oiled areas. 3. Conditions for Use: GTS-OR may be used in freshwater, estuarine, and marine environments. In all applications, the product may be diluted with either salt or fresh water, and the mixture should be allowed to penetrate and dissolve weathered petroleum for at least 30 minutes. Cold weather applications will require more contact time. Reapplication may be necessary for heavily oiled areas. The product may be used on both lighter oils (e.g., No. 2 Fuel Oil) and heavy ends (e.g., crude oil, No. 6 Fuel Oil). Prior to application, booms, oil skimmers, or other appropriate containment and collection mechanism should be deployed and operational. Collected product and oil mixture should be disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
