PetroGuard Solidifying Absorbent Not Being Used. Why?

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.

What is really the right way to clean up an oil spill?

There really is an environmentally friendly way to quickly respond to a spill on water that will truly clean up the mess, protect the environment and above all, save everybody a great deal of money: the owners of the spill, the responders, the state and the federal government and above all, the taxpayer.

Futile Attempt to Clean Oil Spill

This futile effort could have been avoided had they used Advanced Absorption Technology. PetroGuard polymeric hyper-immobilizing oil spill solidifying absorbent demonstrates all the benefits that conventional products simply cannot achieve. The most important attribute of this type of oil spill absorbent is the complete removal of any oil sheen or rainbow. Skimmers, conventional booms, pads and pillows can never achieve this level of removal. That means more time spent, additional expense and then there is no guarantee that the job will be done properly. Because using PetroGuard is a simple process; apply the granule to the floating oil, then skim it off the water surface for collection and disposal. Because the collected oil has now been transformed into a floating solid that will not contaminate anything it comes in contact with and cannot re-release the oil, it is considered one of the most environmentally friendly products available. PetroGuard is completely non-toxic and can safely be used on any body of fresh or salt water.

EPA review completed November 6, 2008 indicates that PetroLite meets the definition of a "sorbent" as specified in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations of the National Contingency Plan and as such can be used by responders as an authorized oil spill cleanup product. PetroLite  consists solely of the materials listed in section 300.915(g)(1) of the NCP.
