International Environmental Products (IEP) that provides eco-friendly solutions for a clean environment has announced that a major US refinery has chosen Oil Gone Easy S-200 products to cleanup 4 acres of their site. According to them, the intensive performance history of Oil Gone Easy S-200, right from the Prestige oil spill cleanup on the coast of Spain, has lead to its selection.

The task includes cleanup of oil spills, leaks, and a history of hydrocarbon issue throughout one section of the refinery. Approximately 30,000 sq meters of surface oil spills and leaks, including areas around tank farms, under pipelines, near loading racks, and on the shore riprap and dock areas were required to cleanup using Oil Gone Easy S-200.

The usage has proved that the application of this oil remover is an effortless process, wherein the solution needs only to be sprayed on the leaked or spilled hydrocarbon for the indigenous bacteria to degrade the hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water. The entire process does not involve any foreign bacteria and the concern of hazardous waste is eliminated. Another advantage of S-200 is that the bioremediation process is unspoilt by rain, wave action, or wind due to the solution’s adhering nature to the hydrocarbons.

Todd Fratzel, the Principal Engineer for a large construction firm as well as the author of Home Construction Improvement, reviewed Oil Gone Easy products at Today’s Green Construction, a blog that focuses mainly on the need to conserve energy and protect the environment. In this blog, Todd shares his experience using Oil Gone Easy Home and Driveway S-200 to remove oil stains from his garage.

According to Todd Fratzel, Oil Gone Easy is a biodegradable product that effectively removes oil stains from surfaces, such as concrete, brick, pavers, asphalt, and soil. In his review, he explains that Oil Gone Easy Home and Driveway S-200 when used to remove oil stains should be left a longer time on the stain as the microorganisms get a longer time to work on them. He reveals that to clean oil stains off his garage; he poured Oil Gone Easy S-200 solution onto the concrete surface stained with motor oil and left it throughout the day, only occasionally brushing with a stiff brush.

After 5 hours of soaking time, he claims to have noticed a visible improvement. Todd Fratzel is particularly impressed with the fact that Oil Gone Easy S-200 products are totally safe for kids and animals. He recommends Oil Gone Easy S-200 products to anyone looking for a safe and effective solution to clean nasty oil spills.

Jim Lynn, the inventor of Oil Gone Easy products, appeared as a guest on Meet the Planet, an environmental multi-media show that strives to create awareness among people to come up with positive and educated solutions to deal with challenging situations in the world today.

On this show, Jim Lynn talks about the negative environmental impact caused by minor oil spills from cars and trucks. Every day, millions of engines make one-drop-at-a-time “oil spills” on the roads and parking lots, which end up in to our oceans and rivers when it rains.

He states that, of the 20 million gallons of petroleum that escape into the North American waters every year, 17 million are a result of land-based runoffs from vehicles, contamination by recreational boaters, and fuel dumping by commercial boaters. He also describes the harmful effects that these oil spills have on the marine life.

Oil Spill Cleanup

Ahead on the show, Jim Lynn explains how oil spill cleanup techniques, such as pressure washing, cleanup using dispersants and hot water, instead of cleaning up cause more harm to the environment.

He then talks about Oil Gone Easy products and the bioremediation technology used in these products. He explains how bioremediation technology, cleans an oil spill in an effective and environmentally-friendly way without causing any further damage.

He reveals that the industrial version of this bioremediation accelerator was tested by the Spanish government for more than nine months in their laboratories as well as on site with the Prestige Oil Spill that occurred on the coast of Spain. Of the 50 products tested, Oil Gone Easy was the only product selected for the continuing cleanup of the shoreline. The second generation of the product was also successfully used to cleanup 70 miles of the contaminated shore after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.
