An apparatus and method for applying undiluted chemical dispersant to an oil spill using a gentle, uniform rain producing nozzle (6, 9) such as a specially configured nozzle which breaks the dispersant spray into a gentle, uniform rain to generate a fine, uniform spray over a wide area. The novelty of this invention is that it is the only neat spray dispersant apparatus and method specifying dispersal through a turbo-nozzle (6, 9) having an adjustable flow rate. The apparatus comprises a pump (3) to suction dispersant from tanks or other receptacles where it is stored and pressurize the dispersant, a pressure manifold (4) that allows the dispersant to pressurize and a fire monitor (5) or hose (8) attachment hydraulically connecting the pressure manifold (4) to one or more turbo-nozzles (6, 9) that spray the chemical dispersant on the oil spill. The method comprises pressurizing dispersant and spraying it through a specially configured nozzle (6, 9) onto the oil spill.
