Oil and oil products are among the most widespread and dangerous pollutants of natural waters and soils. In addition to hydrocarbooms, they contain oxygen-, sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds. Low-sulfur oils contain up to 0.5% sulfur, high-sulfur oils – more than 2%. The content of nitrogen and oxygen ranges from tenths to 1.2-1.8%. More than 20 different elements (V, Ni, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Si, Na, etc.) were found in the oils.
In the conditions of growing threats of environmental pollution by oil products, the issue of finding solutions and quick response to threats is gaining significant importance. The negative impact of chemical toxic substances on the ecological situation in regions with developed industry can be weakened.
For whom
To eliminate technological, emergency leaks of petroleum products on the territory of gas stations, storage facilities for petroleum products, auto enterprises, service stations, parking lots, garage cooperatives, as well as at other facilities where petroleum products are used, Ecological Kits for liquidation of petroleum product spills “ECO AID” are used.
Environmental Oil Spill Response Kit “ECO AID is a compact, mobile set of necessary tools for quickly collecting spilled oil/oil products from the surface of the soil, asphalt, concrete floor, to prevent oil products from entering the storm sewer.
The main purpose of the “ECO AID” ECO kit is solving of disposal the oil waste problem.
Composition
The “ECO AID” ECO kit includes glauconite or biosorbent sorbent, absorbent caps and pillows, absorbent napkins, waste bags, protective oil-resistant gloves, storage bag and instructions for use.
The mineral sorbent glauconite belongs to the 4th class of danger according to the degree of influence on the human body. It does not show a local effect on intact skin. Glauconite does not form toxic compounds in the air, does not burn, is explosion-proof.
Surface application of the sorbent “Glauconite” is used to neutralize contamination of the upper layers (up to a depth of 0.4-0.6 meters) of the aeration zone. Physically, this means mixing sorbent and pollutant within the affected soil.
Biodestructor sorbent is a new generation oil sorbent with sorption and destruction activity for oil hydrocarbooms. It helps eliminate oil spills and leaks of any volume of oil products on water, soil and hard surfaces. It is unique natural oil absorbent, the composition of which contains destructor bacteria for a biodestructive effect on hydrocarboom-containing compounds.
What is the procedure for using the “ECO AID” ECO kit?
In the event of a slight spill of petroleum products on a solid surface, the stain is treated with a thin layer of sorbent until it is saturated. A sign of saturation is its darkening.
In the event that the amount of spilled petroleum product is so large that the stain spreads, measures are taken to localize it (perimeter treatment), which will prevent the contamination from spreading further. Also, as a fence, mini booms can be used.
If for some reason the pollution was not eliminated and it rained, first of all it is necessary to surround the well of the storm sewer with a ring of booms to prevent the penetration of oil products there. Absorbent wipes should be used to wipe metal, contaminated surfaces after using the drug.
After use, mini booms and napkins should be disposed of with household waste.
The methods of elimination of the effects of chemical toxic substances can be as follows: construction of an engineering-geochemical barrier, surface application of sorbent, boom barriers, sorbent reclamation.
Questions/Answers

What are the ways to use the “ECO AID” ECO kit?
There are the following methods of liquidation of oil-containing waste:
Method 1. Elimination of traces of oil products (fresh and old stains).
Method 2. Liquidation of spills of oil products on a hard surface.
Method 3. Liquidation of spills of oil products on the ground.
Method 4. Prevention of contamination of the surface in case of depressurization of hose connections or installation work, during which leakage of petroleum products is possible.
