New approach to cleaning up diesel and fuel spills
It seems that no matter how much you train, prepare, establish guidelines accidents happen. There is a new product on the market for hazmat clean-up. It is called the Hydrocarbon spill clean-up (FM-186) program available from Environmental Chemical Solutions Inc. (ECS)
Traditional Methods of Clean-Up – In the past if there is a spill, the only resource was to use “kitty litter” to soak up the spill and dispose of the used absorbent material as hazardous waste.
Our future – This new product breaks-down the spilled diesel or gasoline and makes it easy for the naturally occurring surface bacteria to digest the spilled material. Thus, the treatment chemicals and the resultant wastes are non-hazardous. (Source: California Environmental Protection Agency).
We have implemented the use of FM-186 at our fueling locations and aboard our on-site fuel delivery trucks. FM-186 is also available for purchase from our Lubricants warehouse.
At DeWitt Petroleum, we like to do our part to minimize the impact of nonpoint pollution and protect our environment. Just another reason to purchase fuel from DeWitt Petroleum.
