Oil recovery solutions since 1967 TC3 - Dispersant What is it? The TC3 has been specifically designed for use on helicopters (with suitable under slung load capacity) to treat large oil spills with dispersant chemicals. No modifications to helicopter required – can be operated via control system inside aircraft Safety – diesel rather than petrol operation. Easily jettisoned from inside aircraft No modifications to helicopter required –can be operated via control system inside aircraft Cost effective – can be operated down to height 10 metres to reducing wastage of dispersant

Oil recovery solutions since 1967 TC3 - Dispersant Where is it used? When oil spill within limits of available helicopter When winds/currents moving oil to coast When dispersant use is approved When level of mixing energy at spill site is high When oil viscosity is less than 5000 centistokes at ambient temperature

Oil recovery solutions since 1967 TC3 - Dispersant How does is it work? Engine started – dispersant pumped via centrifugal pump through an electrically operated 3 way ball valve to hopper. When ball valve position is changed to ‘spray’, dispersant is pumped direct to short spray arm (6.1m). Pilot can change to long arm (9.1m) via second 3 way ball valve. Flow rate is set by a relief valve.

Oil recovery solutions since 1967 TC3 - Dispersant TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 910 litre (200 gallon capacity) 9.1 metre total spray bar width Max operational weight 1150KG fully loaded Nett weight (no dispersant) 240kg 6.7 hp diesel engine electric start (by pilot)

Oil recovery solutions since 1967 TC3 - Dispersant What are the key features and benefits of this system? Ease of Use - No modifications to the helicopter are required, as the TC3 can be operated completely independently via a control system located inside the aircraft. Cost Effective - The unit can operate down to a height of 10 metres, allowing a small area of coverage to be achieved, and therefore reducing wastage. Assembly - The TC3 is very easy to assemble as it requires no special tools, and can be completed by untrained personnel.

Oil recovery solutions since 1967 TC3 - Dispersant What are the key features and benefits of this system? Rapid Deployment - The system can be set up, ready to operate in around 5 minutes, making it ideal for use in emergency situations. Dispersant Coverage -The spray width can be adjusted to between 6.1 metres and 9.1 metres in flight via the remote control box, depending on the area of coverage required.
