PetroGuard advanced absorption technology from Guardian Environmental Technologies instantly hyper-immobilizes and solidifies (stabilizes) reactive and other dangerous spills as well as crude oil and other petroleum products on land or water. PetroGuard is a polymeric solidifying  spill absorbent for hydrocarbon based chemicals. This is one of the most efficient solidifying absorbents available. It is up to 4 times more efficient and cost effective than conventional oil dry or kitty litter type products.

What is meant by "hyper-immobilization"?

Hyper-immobilization means that the moment PetroGuard is applied to hazardous chemical spill,it will immediately convert the liquid to a solid, and begin the process of preventing any further production of dangerous vapors. Reactive chemicals are quickly rendered safer allowing speedy pickup and disposal.

This super-absorbent deactivating powder is:

• Lightweight,granular                                                              
• Non-toxic and non-catalytic
• Environmentally safe and friendly
• Cost effective: treat one pound of oil with 1/4 lb of PetroGuard
• Absorb and solidify petroleum based spills on water or land including crude oil
• Hydrophobic-will float indefinitely allowing for collection of solidified oil matrix from the surface of water.

Performance Characteristics

Process Characteristics

PetroGuard's absorptive capacity depends upon the sorbent to selectively absorb molecules with suitable solubility characteristics, directly into its internal structure. This allows the polymer to absorb very large quantities of molecules. Molecules are partitioned into the polymeric regions of the medium, with exceptional affinity for non-polar organic compounds. Once deactivation has taken place, PetroGuard will form an interlocking network matrix with a rubber-like consistency.

Application Options:

PetroGuard may be applied to a spill in a number of ways. For spreading PetroGuard over larger areas as in open ocean, the most effective way is by air drop. The solidified oil can then immediately be collected by skimmers or collection booms. Solidified matrix will float until removed from the surface.

For small spills, manually dispensing the material over spill will work efficiently.

Motorized blower/vacs can be modified to blow material onto a spill. Please contact us for more information.
Krendle Blower Vacs can be easily modified to appy PetroGuard or PetroLite over small spills.

For standing oil spills we recommend the use of a backhoe or "cherry picker" with a bucket to which a 27 cubic foot bag can be attached with simple nylon strapping. Our bulk bags come equipped with a dispensing spout for spreading PetroGuard over a spill. Our 27 cubic foot bulk bags tuck snugly into the scoop of a backhoe and can be then used to spread the absorbent over a larger spill.
