CASE STUDIES FOR OIL SOLUTIONS::

Fuel Oil Soaked Wood. Contact was made to our office in May/2007 regarding the wood base underneath an oil/kerosene furnace system which, upon removal, it was discovered that kerosene had leaked and was somewhat permeated, leaving an odor. With over-time saturation of the wood, we recommended multiple treatments. After use of our OIL SOLUTIONS Step 1/Step 2 kit, we received the following in a letter:

“I followed your instructions and applied Step 1, OIL SOLUTIONS Step 1 solution throughout the area with a thin liquid film. I used a brush and scrubbed the solution on the surface. As you indicated, some bubbles appeared and the odor disappeared. I actually waited around 10 minutes before I applied Step 2, OIL SOLUTIONS Step 2, and again applied a thin liquid film and scrubbed it onto the area using the brush. Silica formed. I cleaned up the area. I waited a day and went through the process again. At completion, I would say your product performed well with two applications. Question–I work for the Federal Government. Have you listed your product with the GSA schedule? I would think that there would be a demand for this throughout the government for hazmat type of cleanup. Thanks for the product - it has helped me to resolve my problem/challenge.”

Hydraulic Oil Spill on Roadway. A large truck accidentally released 30+ gallons of hydraulic oil for approximately 125 yards. The roadway was slick and unsafe for use. OIL SOLUTIONS Step 1/Step 2 additives were applied to the spill areas taking about twenty minutes for the application. By the time the length of the spill was sprayed, the OIL SOLUTIONS technology had encapsulated the hydraulic oil and was dry where the application began.

Diesel Spill on Roadway. A tractor trailer truck with a damaged saddle tank spilled 75+ gallons of diesel on frontage road of I-35 in Oklahoma City. After using “OS POWDER ™ to absorb the pooled diesel, OIL SOLUTIONS Step 1/Step 2 additives were applied to the spill areas including a 2 foot wide by 100 yard long strip of roadway where diesel had soaked into the asphalt. Once the OIL SOLUTIONS Step 1 was applied, the residual diesel odor was eliminated.

Returning to the spill scene two days after application of the OIL SOLUTIONS Step 1/Step 2 additives. A light rainfall had occurred that morning. There were no diesel sheens observed on standing rainwater in the gutter. The spill site was free from any diesel odor. A slight white silica residue was still evident on the street. One week after application, another visit was made to the site. Again no diesel odor or sheens were found. The street appearance was returned to normal although it was somewhat cleaner than the adjacent, untreated asphalt.

Soil contaminated with 1590 ppm crude oil and 115 ppm lead was reduced to 154 ppm TPH and less than 0.10 ppm lead with one treatment. The OIL SOLUTIONS Step 1/Step 2 products were sprayed and tilled. Tilling provides effective mixing to assure contact with the contaminant for microencapsulation.
