What the heck do they need to use dispersant for? It's not going to change anything; that plume is blasting right up through it.

It looks like it's oozing out from seals and seams all over the BOP, not coming from a single nozzle or pipe.

Exactly what I thought but some people here are a bit more versed into what is going on so I was trusting some of you guys who are in the know.

Re: The Cap has been Removed *UPDATED in OP*
the general thought is sulfer... but when the other camera was up there it didnt look orange on that feed... it may be lighting and high contrast ratio on that particular ROV camera.

Thad on CNN explaining now

he says removed due to accumulation of gas.

two deaths related to clean up activities. i didn't understand what he said. SOmething about a vessel operator and a ? swilling? accident?

gas?? cause that white stuff looked like a gas, and i thought methane. the screen was frozen, and it looked totally gaseous. is corexit a gas??

It does... look at the big crack on the right side of it, and just below that, it looks like lava or something starting to run out (I know it's not lava - just describing it). Then over to the left are two small holes. Looks like it's disintegrating. Holy crap.

What is up with the white substance being fed into the leak? is it intentionally fed or is this the result of damage? 0_o


That's the "Corexit" dispersant.


I thought the dispersant only came from the pipe you can see on the right on cam 8 @ [link to www.jtnog.org]

This white steam/mist shit I haven't seen before - maybe it's the new dispersant they mentioned on the news the other day? or the sea floor cracking...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1013106


That's the New Dispersant Assy It has a long pipe w/Disp. head on it which is buried into the plume. At it's base you'll see multi-smaller heads leaking Dispersant? What was drop was the larger older Dispersant Assy. It was lying at the bottom and the ROV was checking it out. I did not stay on it to long, it may still be on the bottom. Yes strange as the ROV went down and the camera was aimed down you could see the bubbles coming up. I call these invisible Bubbles. You'll seldom see them head on, unless it's really dark. But their, there.

Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide occur in crude petroleum, but natural gas can contain up to 90%.[3] Volcanoes and some hot springs (as well as cold springs) emit some H2S, where it probably arises via the hydrolysis of sulfide minerals, i.e. MS + H2O → MO + H2S.

Combined with the psi flow, other particulates and caustic acids are melting the BOP.

Yet if it were lava it would be coming up from the pressure. Looks like they sealed a crack or something but it isn't likely to hold. I think I saw a big chunk of cement break off recently, or metal or whatever it's made out of.

Re: The Cap has been Removed *UPDATED in OP*
My synopsis..the bop is sandblasted to bits. Any constriction of the flowrate will destroy what's left of the pipe.

In 1903, a book called "Petroleum Petroleum" written by a member of an occult group called Golden Dawn, talks about a blowout in the Gulf that eventually spreads worldwide and suppresses rain.

I only mention that because Aleister Crowley was a member and apparently the father of Barbara Bush. Hey, George was a Nazi infiltrator who's real father worked with Nikola Tesla as an office manager and accountant with Poppy Bush in and out of Tesla's office doing whatever for the Nazis.

I feel that Ed (TV) is the apotheosis of a prevailing American syndrome. It used to be that someone became famous because they were special. Now people are considered special just for being famous. Fame, itself, is now a moral good in this country. It's its own virtue.

Re: The Cap has been Removed *UPDATED in OP*
More than likely the color changes you're seeing are due to the inclusion of H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid) which would account for the yellow and orange.

This would also account for why the erosion is taking place as this acid is highly corrosive.

Physical properties
1. Pure H2SO4 is colorless but commercial acid is yellow in color due to presence of impurities.

2. Highly concentrated H2SO4 (98%) has a specific gravity of 1.84 and high boiling point of 621K. The high boiling point shows that H2SO4 has associated structure due to hydrogen bonding as shown in figure:

hydrogen bonds of H2SO4

(b)
3. Cone. H2SO4 has a great affinity for water. Its dissolution in water is highly exothermic in nature. When water is added to acid spurting takes place because of lot of heat produced during the process. Therefore, for dilution of the acid, always acid is to be added to H2O slowly, and not water to acid.

4. On coming in contact with the skin it produces severe burns, therefore, it must be carefully handled.
