PetroGuard is probably one of the easiest and quickest EPA approved solutions to at least part of the problem. Oil that has made its way into the calmer inland waters and shore areas could be easily and quickly treated with PetroGuard which would instantly absorb and solidify any oil it comes in contact with. Why is solidification important? Because once absorbed, the oil becomes a solid rubber matrix that will never again release oil, even under pressure. See our
video of how PetroGuard quickly and permanently turns crude oil into a manageable solid. This solidified oil can then be collected and disposed of safely and cheaply. Why will BP not pay attention?

THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THE GULF OIL SPILL
Guardian Environmental Technologies offers an immediate solution to the Gulf oil spill that would save hundreds of thousands of dollars, reduce the cleanup time and help save the precious fishing grounds along the coast. PetroGuard is a polymeric oil spill solidifier that is applied directly to the oil floating on the surface. The oil is instantly solidified and remains floating until it is scooped up and removed. The resulting floating matrix is will not contaminate anything it touches. It can be safely handled and will not release the captured oil in the way conventional absorbents do. If the solidified oil washes up on the beach it will not harm the environment and can be easily collected and disposed of. PetroGuard has a 400% by weight absorption capability meaning one gallon of PetroGuard will absorb and lock up about 4 gallons of oil.
Anyone having a contact with BP one of the regulatory agencies should be contacted to alert them about this technology.

The recent and ongoing disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has demonstrated the limitations of responding to this kind of an oil spill. Unfortunately those responsible have been overwhelmed and continue to employ the old technology they have been using for decades showing a mindset to not even consider a possible better solutions that would prevent some of the undesired results being experienced now.
Using an oil spill solidifying agent such as PetroGuard (the original product of this sort) would allow responders to actually remove oil from the surface of the water in three easy steps: application, collection and removal.
PetroGuard is a dry, white granular high capacity instant solidifying absorbent. PetroGuard is used to immobilize liquid hydrocarbon and chlorocarbon spills on land or water to a recoverable solid, with minimal overall volumetric increase. The most unique and important characteristic of PetroGuard is that once absorbed, liquids will not be released, even under pressure. This means that even if the solified matrix comes in contact with anything, it will not contaminate or release oil. The image below is the ideal area to use PetroGuard to absorb and solidify the floating oil. Even if the solidified matrix drifts to the shoreline, it will not contaminate anything while waiting to be removed. Removal is as simple as collecting the solid (no oil drips) and bagging it, for transfer to a collection site.
Disposal of the solidified oil by incineration has the double positive effect of use in cogeneration plants as a blending fuel to create energy. Make it work for us!
