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?

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!

The Port Arthur Texas oil spill cleanup operations are being carried out in the traditional method of using containment booms and oil skimmers. While this is an accepted methodology, there is a technology available that would greatly enhance the cleanup results and truly remove the floating oil and sheens from the water surface without the use of surfactants (detergents). This technique is classified as "Advanced Absorption Technology" and the commercial product that is most appropriate is PetroLite for oil spills. Containment booms and skimmers are not 100% effective in capturing floating oil. Alternatively, PetroLite will instantly immobilize and solidify any floating oil that is comes in contact with. Any further ecological damage is thereby prevented, cleanup operations are greatly simplified and associated cost savings become very apparent. PetroLite is listed by the USEPA as appropriate for use on water or land. Cleanup contractors and the U.S. Coast Guard and the Texas General Land Office should have a keen interest in this technology.
