Here’s a selection of oil spill recovery and fluid containment products to help keep production — and profits — flowing.
In a perfect world, there would be no oil spills, but that’s not realistic. Accidents happen. Fortunately, there have been great advancements in the technology behind oil spill recovery and cleanup, and the products on the market now afford a level of protection to locations threatened by spills.
OSI Environmental Inc., with sites from Fargo, N.D., to South Bend, Ind., cleans storage tanks on land and at sea, cleans up spills, provides environmental support to assist companies inspecting pipelines, and collects and disposes of a variety of waste products from oil to antifreeze to byproducts from mining processes.
Pat Tracey, OSI general manager of environmental services, recognizes a growing need for reliable oil spill recovery and cleanup equipment.
“With our workers, we emphasize that we are an environmental company so we need to be on top of equipment and prevent spills,” Tracey says. “We don’t want to be the source of an environmental problem. We strive to be a clean company and have good, up-to-date equipment.”
Whether you provide emergency spill response or regularly set up containment solutions to prevent spills, manufacturers offer a range of booms and inflatable or modular equipment to meet the needs of environmental services contractors.
