Were trying our hardest on cleaning up the oil spill. It’s taking more than 11,000 works to clean up all of the oil that has destructed Alaska. Our first method of cleaning it up is using Dispersant. Dispersant is a surfactant and solvent mixture. A surfactant is a surface-active substance. Examples of it are: Soaps and Detergents. Yesterday, March 25 at 12:00am a private company applied us with this mixture. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough wave action to mix the dispersant with the oil in the water, so therefore it was discontinued. During the early stages of when the oil spill we did one trial burn. A trial burn is an area where we tried burning the oil. It was very successful; it reduced 113,400 liters of oil.
