Prenco recommends the use of loose particle absorbent sweeps as the best solution for spill clean-up. When placed around a spill, these particles can act as a containment barrier to stop the spread of the fluid and take up gaps in the surface that booms often cannot seal. The loose absorbent can then be swept over the spill at brooms length, thereby keeping the responder as far away from the fluid as possible and to increase the safety factor.
Loose particle absorbents can also provide a ‘blanket effect over the fluid, to suppress vapours and odours. Finally, some of these types of absorbents can provide landfill disposal advantages when used on hydrocarbon spills and tested to certain EPA criteria.
