PetroGuard Still Champ of Chemical Spill Absorbents

Posted on by Administrator

Guardian Environmental Technologies has been supplying PetroGuard to the chemical and manufacturing industry for over 13 years. Many domestic and international companies successfully use this amazing product to control small and large spills of reactive and other hazardous chemicals, saving money and time in the process.

PetroGuard will absorb and solidify the liquid reactive chemicals while rendering the chemical safer to handle. In fact, if you take the solidified matrix and drop it into bucket of water there will be no reaction or hydrolyzing. Don’t try that with your standard absorption product. In addition, PetroGuard does not alter or neutralize the chemical being treated, so there is no exothermic reaction. Disposal is quick and easy by incineration. Learn more…….

Oily and Watery Sludges Got You Down?

Posted on by Administrator

If you are struggling with how to solidify oily and watery waste for transportation to a land fill, there is a bright spot for you. Guardian Environmental's SludgeGuard and PG20 may be just what you are looking for. PG20 and SludgeGuard are solidifiers that treat both the water and oil constituents of common waste water from drilling and fracking without relying on a chemical process. The idea here is that you use less product to solidify the liquid thereby having less bulk to dispose of, translating into lower disposal and transportation costs. Common bulk solidifiers like sawdust and corn cobs add a huge amount of bulk to your waste which then costs you more in the end.

Best of all, you can use PG20 and SludgeGuard to enhance or "super-charge" whatever you are now using.

Contact us to see if ours is the solution for your problems.

SludgeGuard Patent

Posted on by Administrator

Guardian Environmental Technologies is pleased to announce that a provisional patent has been granted for its newest solidification products SludgeGuard and PG20. SludgeGuard and PG20 was developed to meet a demand in the drilling and fracking industries for an economical alternative to sawdust or kiln dust. The advantage of using SludgeGuard to solidify oil and fracking waste sludge is that it does not add a vast amount bulk and weight to an already heavy substance.

The limitations on the use of cement for solidification systems are:

  • the organics content is above 45% by weight,
  • the wastes have less than 15% solids,
  • excessive quantities of fine soil particles are present, or
  • too many large particles are present.

SludgeGuard and PG20 do not have these limitations.

By adding other materials such as sawdust to the drilling waste , the overall volume of solidified waste is larger than the original volume of waste. Depending on the amount of additive that is required to meet the applicable waste quality standards, the cost of other additive may not be cost-effective. However, the use of SludgeGuard is cost effective because it adds only a fraction of other additives.

Oil Spill Containment and Removal System

O.S.C.A.R.

Oil Sheen Containment and Removal System

Are you faced with the continuous problem of oil sheens on your discharge water or around your marine work areas? If you are simply trying to deal with it by the use of conventional containment boom, absorbent booms or the use of vacuum trucks, you may be setting yourself up for some stiff fines from the EPA. Oil sheens or “rainbow” are an almost inevitable problem if you are a power-plant, production facility, fueling dock or just a tanker loading and unloading product.

O.S.C.A.R. (oil sheen containment and removal system) is a new way to get rid of those pesky sheens. Guardian Environmental Technologies’ proprietary system is designed to be used with a specially modified containment boom for protected water, off-shore or river use.

SludgeGuard: A new bulk waste stabilizer

Posted on by Administrator

Guardian Environmental Technologies is pleased to announce the development of a highly cost effective and efficient bulk waste stabilizer called “SludgeGuard“.

industrial sludge: Definition: Concentrated, semi-liquid waste left after treatment of industrial water or wastewater containing some elements of hydrocarbons, including operations from gas and oil drilling, general industrial waste and others.

SludgeGuard is a proprietary blend of industry accepted absorbents. SludgeGuard bulk solidifier is unique in that it is effective in stabilizing liquid sludge containing both water and oil. SludgeGuard is unique in that Guardian can adjust the blend to accommodate almost any type of application. The product was developed for treatment facility that stabilizes fracking water and sludge, drilling byproducts as well as other waste. We can adjust the ingredients of SludgeGuard meet to your specific needs. It works to convert water and oil sludge to a solid consistency which allows easy transport from processing facility to disposal facility. So if your facility treats a waste that has more oil than water or more water than oil, we can customize the blend for that application. Because of its non-hazardous characteristics and because the product will biodegrade naturally over time, it is suitable for bulk solidification processes.

SludgeGuard is light weight, has relatively low dust content and can be supplied in reliable bulk quantities. It has an effective weight to weight absorbent ratio of between 44 to 60 times, depending on the blend ratio required. Only .19 lbs of SludgeGuard is required to solidify 1 gallon of sludge at a total cost of about $75 per ton. Some of these costs can vary due to shipping costs to different locations.

Please contact us and let us calculate how much SludgeGuard is needed for your application. Sample product is sent to you free of charge.

Oil sheens are tough to remove…..

Posted on by Administrator

Sunken fishing vessel

From the News Tribune:”The state Department of Ecology, U.S. Coast Guard pollution investigators and the Seattle Police Department Harbor Patrol are responding to reports of a diesel fuel spill in Salmon Bay, an area just south of Ballard in Seattle. The spill was initially observed about 5 a.m. Saturday. State, federal and local authorities have investigators at the site. The cause and volume of the spill are still under investigation, but investigators say there does not appear to any ongoing leak of fuel into the water.

The oil sheen – a very thin coating of oil – is too thin for removal from the water.

According to the Ecology Department’s report: “Oil spilled to water typically forms oily patches that spread out quickly. These ‘oil slicks’ can cover many acres of water. All oil spills cause environmental damage, regardless of size. Oil is toxic to the environment and the damage starts as soon as the oil hits water. A single quart of oil has the potential to foul more than 100,000 gallons of water.”

This is an occurrence that happens almost daily in almost every navigable body of water. The problem is always that the oil sheen is almost impossible to remove from the water by conventional methods. The most common way of trying to stop a sheen from spreading is to deploy a containment boom around the source. Although this technique has been used in the industry for decades and is the best method available till now, it is notoriously inefficient. Skimmers are all but useless in these situations.Some responders still employ using vacuum trucks parked on the bank, or on a boat or ship, sucking up hundreds of gallons of water an hours but only recover the tiniest amount of oil and leaving the rest behind. The use of absorbent  polypropylene booms is another accepted method. Unfortunately, these booms will only partially do the job and often present a host of other problems such as sinking, tearing or ripping or releasing the absorbed oil back into the water. Contact us for a better solution.

Just how prepared are Y-O-U!

Posted on by Administrator

It is always safe to know what to do in the event of a chemical spill. Chemical spills are not common but when they happen they need to be cleaned correctly and efficiently. If you are around any type of chemicals you should know what to do when a chemical spill occurs.

Every plant has procedures in place to prevent spills…but let’s face it they happen. Often times they are “unreportable” and other times they cause such risks that the building needs to be evacuated.
In most cases the spills are just a matter of routine maintenance requiring nothing more than simple clean up.
However that simple clean up can become labor intensive if you don’t have the right products ready. Every plant that deals with hazardous chemicals has spill kits located in areas that are easy to access.

Plant personnel rely on those spill kits to have everything they need to clean up the minor chemical spill. Most of these kits include absorbent socks, pillows, pads, trash bags all neatly packed in a container to use to dispose of the used materials.

But what happens when traditional socks, pillows and pads can’t do the job? More products have to be used. Or what happens when the materials used to clean up the spill re-release the hazardous chemicals? More products have to be used.

Anyone that works with or handles hazardous chemicals has their response plan memorized. But it’s easy to forget that plan when the spill kit products don’t do the job according to plan. That’s when a simple “unreportable” spill turns into and expensive chaotic situation.

We have a very simple solution to this potentially expensive situation. It is our PetroGuard spill kits. These kits contain everything you’ll need and more! Because in addition to the conventional absorbent socks, pillows, pads, etc. our spill kits contain PetroGuard.

PetroGuard is a proprietary solidifying polymer blend with a high absorbent capacity. It is one of the most efficient absorbents available being many times more efficient and cost effective than conventional “oil dry” or “kitty litter” type products. The most unique and important characteristic of PetroGuard is that once absorbed, liquids will not be released (leach), even under pressure. Even the production of toxic vapors is dramatically reduced or eliminated.

Why not prevent chaos and save money by stocking our PetroGuard spill kits. We pride ourselves on providing our customers with economical solutions to potentially expensive problems. For more information contact us here.

Remove oil sheen

SheenGuard

Ever wonder how the heck you can get rid of those pesky oil sheens and rainbows?

Whether you are the safety manager at a large chemical plant or run a small marina, you probably know by now that conventional polypropylene pillows and booms will do an incomplete job at best of removing an oil sheen and oil pollution.

oil sheen

In other words, there will always be a small amount of floating oil sheen left behind.

Look, we all know that oil sheens happen.  And it is very frustrating watching conventional booms and pillows release that rainbow sheen upon removal.  Or better yet having to pull them out of polluted water because they have sunk….only to watch the oil leave that “rainbow” behind.  What a complete waste of time and money.

Well now you have an option.

It’s our line of SheenGuard products.  Our SheenGuard products will remove ALL the floating sheen.  Yes…all of it and they stay in place for a long period of time without sinking.   Our SheenGuard custom designed pillow and blanket booms are our specialty.

They are flexible enough to cover difficult areas and best of all, SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY.

SheenGuard blankets and pillows are constructed to the highest quality standards and can last for months.  They even have built in flotation which means they continue to float even when saturated or tossed around in a storm.

We are proud to custom design and manufacture SheenGuard blankets and pillows to almost any shape or size, as we now do for our customers.

If you are looking for a way to really get rid of those pesky oil sheens and rainbows, contact us for a quote specific to your application.
