A large number of the globules, believed to be dissolved oil, have been found scattered along the beaches in the eastern provinces of Rayong and Chon Buri as well as an oil sheen, and have been sent for analysis, according to the Marine and Coastal Resources Department.

 

The black globules were found on beaches in Samae Sarn sub-district of Sattahip in Chon Buri, Kinnaree beach, also in Chon Buri, and on the Napa Tharaphirom beach in Rayong, The department’s Director-general Sophon Thongdee said that the substance does not smell, but samples will be tested.

 

The discovery of black globules came two weeks after tonnes of crude oil leaked from an offshore pipeline of Star Petroleum Refining Public Limited Company into the sea off Map Ta Phut industrial estate in Rayong province.

It takes about 2 minutes to smear the sample on a salt disc, and generate a readout on an infra-red spectrometer. Any university or technical college should be equipped to do it.

The absorption peaks between 2800 and 3300 cm-1 are irrefutable evidence of hydrocarbons.
