Standard Guide for Oil Spill Dispersant Application Equipment: Boom and Nozzle Systems
ABSTRACT
This guide covers design criteria, requirements, material characteristics, and essential features for oil spill dispersant application systems, it covers spray systems employing booms and nozzles for use on boats or ships and helicopters or airplane. The equipment description, equipment minimum performance specification, and equipment design are presented in details. Materials on ship or boat systems should be corrosion-resistant to salt water. All materials that come into contact with dispersants should be compatible with that dispersant.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers design criteria, requirements, material characteristics, and essential features for oil spill dispersant application systems. This guide is not intended to be restrictive to a specific configuration.
1.2 This guide covers spray systems employing booms and nozzles and is not fully applicable to other systems such as fire monitors, sonic distributors, or fan-spray guns.
1.3 This guide covers systems for use on ships, boats, helicopters, or airplanes.
1.4 This guide is one of several related to dispersant application systems using booms and nozzles. One is on design, one on calibration, one on deposition measurements, and one on the use of the systems. Familiarity with all four guides is recommended.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

3. Significance and Use
3.1 This guide will enable design of oil spill dispersant application equipment using boom and nozzle systems and ensure a
desired dosage and uniformity across the swath width.
3.2 This guide provides information for designing and specifying dispersant spray application equipment to obtain optimal
application rates. These include specifications for minimum equipment performance, equations for estimating operational
parameters, material considerations, and a list of information to be provided to the equipment purchaser.
4. Equipment Description
4.1 General—Oil spill dispersant spray systems include one or more booms with nozzles to form droplets, a pumping or
pressure system to deliver dispersants to the boom, and associated piping and valving. All systems shall include a dispersant flow
meter and a pressure gauge. All systems shall be equipped with provision for cleaning and drainage.
4.2 Ship/Boat—Nozzles should be selected with the assistance of the nozzle manufacturer. Each boom holding nozzles shall be
designed to be mounted near the bow of the vessel so that the spray is uniformly deposited on the slick surface. Spray units can
be portable or fixed. Flow correction or straightener devices, to ensure laminar flow, shall precede the nozzles. System components
