Oil Spill Containment like theWild WEST!

Many Types of Methods:

Some Work Others Claim they Work

Do you know what’s installed really Works?Who are the experts? How Long are these systems reliable? Do they need to be replaced or require Maintenance?

Passive Oil Containment

•Oil Containment - Not Clean-Up•Keep Oil and Fuel Spills Contained not released•Passive Filtration using Polymer Technology•Testing and Proving Innovative Systems to Potential Clients•Developing Products that Industrial Facilities and Electric Utilities Need

Blue Media in Tube allows rain water to drain 24/7/365

Technology allows rain water to drain and seals with and over load of oil preventing any oil from escaping

After Oil has stopped bottom Media is removed a total seal is made NO OIL IS RELEASED

Passive Drainage Filter Used in Concrete Containment

Passive filter 7” Housing Pipe is installed on a 25° slope and the concrete is cut out in front of the Filter so all rain water will drain off the floor

On the outside of the containment the angle can be seen . The 25° slope is the optimum angle for the fastest water drainage.

A Filter cage is used inside the containment area to protect the Passive Pipe from allowing dirt and debris to easily enter the Petro-Pipe.

Passive Filters For Ball Valves

Passive Filters are installed on a 25° slope for water drainage of up to 3 gallons per minute.

Passive Barriers Installed In Concrete Containment Pit

Passive Barriers are installed in the corners of the containment area. The crew prepares the sump for the Barrier installation and also sweeps and vacuums the

entire floor so the area is clean when the transformer is installed.

Actual Spill Con Edison, NY Passive Barrier

250 Gallons of transformer oil spilled in this contained area. The stain on the wall shows the oil level. This spill occurred 1½ years after installation. Only the solidified oil was removed the remaining product was recharged and put back into use.

Oil Containment conclusion to Pro’s and Con’s

● EPA SPCC regulations requires oil containment for above ground oil tanks and transformers

● Many interpretation's as to what is required

● A PE must certify the site to be in compliance

● Choosing the best system for each application

● Knowledge is always the best solution
