When responding to hazardous chemical and oil spills, using conventional absorbents just doesn't do the trick. PetroGuard on the other hand will lock up the spill, prevent further migration, drastically reduce or eliminate vapor production and allow you to pick up the chemical or oil easily and quickly as solid. This holds true for a water or land environment. Cost to absorb and solidify a gallon of hazardous liquid chemical is about $3.50.
Disposal is cheap and safe, costing an average of about $375 for a 55 gallon drum of treated chemicals weighing approximately 400 lbs. Incineration is the recommended way since it is cleaner and more environmentally friendly than landfilling.
PetroGuard your spills, don't just absorb them!

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.
