It's not going to change anything; that plume is blasting right up through it. Quoting: RuarkIt 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. |

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... 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. |

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

cygnid User ID: 993854 Canada 06/23/2010 03:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

Maybe things would be bad right now! oh, nevermind..... The world is over. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ From ED TV (1999) 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1010412 United States 06/23/2010 03:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |
