From the lab reports:

The 625 base neutral acids reports indicate that the crude oil has been broken down and is mixing into the water.... the increase in the Tentatively Identified Carbons in the 24hr and 48hor water samples of the treated Tray B confirm that the surface crude is dissolving into the seawater."
"The Acute Aquatic Toxicity test of the treatment water shows 100% survival and no marine life toxicity..."
"It is our contention that the hydrocarbons that have been removed were toxic and the remaining TIC's are actually minerals, being the hydrocarbons reverting back to their original mineral forms prior to crude formation. The crude hydrocarbons were or are now rendered non-toxic and will readily breakdown in the ocean or shoreline environment. The residue is carbon free and made up of non-toxic mineral..."
"The volatile hydrocarbons are immediately oxidized into a neutral inert gas and the noxious smell is removed within minutes of spray treatment.

Sounds good, but it sounds like its unlikely BP will use it which is a shame.

If it is effective, BP will deny the permits. Book it.

I have talked to BP personnel about using this and I again talked to him this past saturday about it. He had passed the information along from earlier. It is above his pay grade but he said it might be tried in the Lafitte area but wasn't sure. His area of operation is the Grand Isle area.
We will see.

Oops spoke to soon. I figured the link was to the organism bacteria that they spray on the oil to be eaten. My above post is in regard to the microbe treatment.
