Why Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 Represents the Future of Oil Spill Mitigation and How It’s Better Than Corexit, Finasol, and Dasic
Oil spills are one of the most devastating environmental disasters, with long-lasting impacts on marine ecosystems. For decades, chemical dispersants like Corexit, Finasol’s OSR 52 IBC, and more recently Dasic’s EcoSafe OSD have been used to break up oil slicks and accelerate biodegradation. However, concerns over toxicity, long-term ecological harm, and efficiency have sparked a demand for safer, more effective alternatives.
This is where Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 Deep Water Dispersant by Advanced BioCatalytics emerges as a game-changing solution. It offers superior oil dispersion and biodegradation while minimizing environmental impact. Here’s how Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 outperforms Corexit, Finasol’s OSR 52 IBC, and more recently Dasic’s EcoSafe OSD, making it the future of oil spill mitigation.
1. Accel Clean® DWD 2.0 is Non-Toxic and Biodegradable
One of the biggest criticisms of Corexit, Finasol’s OSR 52 IBC, and more recently Dasic’s EcoSafe OSD is their potential toxicity to marine life. Studies have shown that dispersants like Corexit EC9500A can make oil more toxic by increasing its absorption into marine organisms.
In contrast, Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 is formulated with enzyme-based surfactant technology, which not only breaks down oil more effectively but also promotes natural biodegradation. This means:
- Less toxicity to marine ecosystems
- Faster oil breakdown without harmful byproducts
- Safer for cleanup crews and coastal communities
2. More Effective Oil Dispersion and Biodegradation
While Corexit, Finasol’s OSR 52 IBC, and more recently Dasic’s EcoSafe OSD are effective at dispersing oil, they don’t necessarily speed up its natural breakdown—leaving dispersed oil in the water column for extended periods.
Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 goes a step further. It:
- Accelerates microbial activity, helping naturally occurring bacteria degrade oil faster
- Works efficiently in deep water, ensuring rapid dispersion and degradation
- Reduces the long-term presence of oil in marine ecosystems
3. Safer Alternative for Human and Environmental Health
Corexit, Finasol’s OSR 52 IBC, and more recently Dasic’s EcoSafe OSD have raised serious concerns about their impact on human health, especially for workers involved in oil spill response. Corexit, in particular, has been linked to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and potential long-term health risks for those exposed.
Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 is:
- Non-hazardous for cleanup crews
- EPA-approved as a safer alternative
- Free from harmful petroleum-based solvents
4. Global Regulatory and Industry Shift Toward Eco-Friendly Dispersants
The oil spill response industry is facing increasing pressure to adopt less toxic, more sustainable solutions. With governments and environmental agencies reviewing the long-term effects of traditional dispersants, Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 represents the next generation of oil spill mitigation.
- EPA and international approvals make it a viable, forward-thinking alternative
- Increasing demand for safer dispersants positions Accell Clean® as the industry leader
- Proactive adoption by oil spill response teams could prevent future environmental damage
Conclusion: The Future of Oil Spill Response is Here
While Corexit, Finasol’s OSR 52 IBC, and more recently Dasic’s EcoSafe OSD have played a major role in past oil spill responses, their toxicity and environmental concerns make them less suitable for the future. Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 offers a superior, non-toxic, and highly effective alternative that aligns with modern environmental and regulatory standards.
As industries seek smarter, safer ways to combat oil spills, Accell Clean® DWD 2.0 stands out as the best choice—leading the way toward a cleaner, healthier future for marine ecosystems and the people who protect them.
