Oil and Gas
Typical critical path areas that require rapid response
- Onshore – Areas close to site external & plant internal drainage systems in Cracker, Crude/Aromatics, Sulphur Recovery, Alkylation processing areas – Tank Farms, Loading bays, Jetty loading/unloading
- Compressor stations, Engineering workshops, High pressure water jetting bays
- Waste management compounds, Walkways inside processing units, Bunds & sumps
- Lagoon offloading, Outfalls to waterways
- Substrate types – Concrete (rough or finished), asphalt, ceramic/quarry tile, painted surfaces
- Offshore – protection of work areas around; drilling station, pipe & valve networks, heat exchangers, on-board drainage systems & walkways – against drilling fluids, heavy hydrocarbons, polymers, paints
Potential Spill Materials
- Production and manufacturing material spills hydrocarbon derived solutions of all types (pre-post refining), acids, alkaline & polymer-based mixes
- Effluents – hot & cold mixes of waste & by products
- Oils & lubricants (high grade hydraulic oils, oil-based cooling agents, gels & pastes)
- Paints – Single / Twin pack epoxy, polyester, polyurethanes & emulsions
Traditional Spill Response
- Traditional oil & chemical grades of spill granules
- Longer periods of disruption, diversion & substantial disposal
- Various grades of spill pads
- Slow levels of absorption
- Spills can take many hours to be properly cleared & concluded – drag through & dispersion of granules common place
- Levels of floor/substrate cleanliness post clean-up can vary widely
Sorb Response Absorbent
- 100% organic material, Non-toxic for human beings, animals and environment
- environmentally friendly
- Light 7.5kg bag absorbs 33ltrs of all oils, paints, acids, alkaline & polymers
- Lightweight material & packaging allows for rapid easy response
- Absorbs all oils & hydrocarbons from water surface, enables fast efficient skimming without taking up water itself
- Multi-purpose absorbent – eradicates requirement for multiple products for clearances
- Fast & efficient – enables immediate control of a spill, contained & eliminated within minutes rather than hours or days
- Post Clean – Superior surface safety & cleanliness achieved by fast efficient clearance
- Tested & Proven – 97% surface grip after an eradicated spill – independently tested & proven on Asphalt (German MPA Testing Authority) excellent results on Concrete, Ceramics, Painted Walkways
- Waste Disposal – dramatically less material (kg/lb/ltr) to dispose of, organic base matter enables more diverse final disposal options & routes
