NEW MEMBERS

OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS WE HAVE WELCOMED THE FOLLOWING NEW MEMBERS

SpectraServe

SpectraServe are the UK & Europeanimporters and distributors for the ImbiberBeads® range of products – The ONLY oilsensitive super absorbent polymer in theworld today!Imbiber Beads® will absorb an extremelywide range of organic liquids completelyeliminating the liquid phase and secondarycontaminationOur absorbents incorporate AAT(Activation Awareness Technology) whichlets the user know when the ImbiberBeads® have picked up a compatible liquid– Ideal for HNS response

Imbiber Beads® are a very useful addition in spill response as they will retain 100%of the liquid that they have absorbed and reduce the rate of vapour loss by 600%!

We have recently developed SPECTRA- FILTER®. The unit would be used as a prefilter for activated carbon or as a “stand alone” unit if discharging to a foul sewer. Filtration is down to ZERO visible oil Imbiber Beads® products are perfect for “sit & soak” preventative maintenance applications such as, oily water separators, confined space manholes & vaults (ideal for the telecoms industry), settling lagoons and sheen control.

When Imbiber Beads® are used in oily water separators they greatly reduce the need for costly vacuum tanker visits – We are currently involved in a trial with Chiltern Railways As Imbiber Beads® are completely hydrophobic they can be broadcast using a standard fire monitor, with water as the carrier, onto a hydrocarbon spill on water.

The Japanese Maritime Disaster Prevention Centre, Yokohama, Japan conducted the following test:

Does your current spill response technology tell you when you are cleaning a spill?

SurfCleaner a Unique Hybrid Portable Skimmer Separator for the removal of oil in remote locations

Small oil spills in remote areas can consume a lot of time and resources to clean up. With the new and unique

SurfCleaner® SCO 1000 you can recover spills from as little as 1 micron. Once set up, the SurfCleaner can be left unattended and monitored remotely without the need to be there.

The SCO 1000 is a fully self-contained solution to remove your pollution. This small mobile system will operate remotely and quietly without disturbing a mouse. Quieter than a ticking clock the SurfCleaner will remove, separate and recover diesel, oil, petrol or even a sheen in the most remote areas without causing a scene.

SurfCleaner SCO 1000 is built for lowerflow continuous separation of oil from water. The low weight and foldable construction make it suitable for oil spill response measures in industry, harbours, lakes and oil caverns.

The SCO 1000 is a portable surface oil skimmer, it can be powered on-grid from a regular power outlet or off-grid by optional solar panels, battery pack or via a power inverter for your car. It is controlled remotely by an easy-to-use smartphone/ tablet app. It also works as a spill sensor, It will send you an alert when it starts to recover oil, perfect for sunken vessels waiting to be salvaged. The SCO 1000 is a very versatile solution for a wide range of applications in oil spill cleanup and oily wastewater treatment.

Some of the SCO 1000 benefits:

- Automatic removal and separation – even thin sheens – with 100% recovery of the floating pollution.

- The recovered oil has a water content of less than 0.5% and can be recycled.

- Less hazardous waste.

- Portable, easy to transport and handle by one or two persons – it weighs less than 25kg and fits easily into the back of your car.

- Fast and easy deployment.

- Low power consumption. No need for hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps or diesel/petrol powerpacks.

- Continuous, automatic operation 24/7, over long periods of time, with minimal maintenance needs – can be left unmanned.

SurfCleaner is a Swedish company that designs, develops and manufactures hybrid skimmer separators for 100% removal, separation and recovery of oil, diesel, petrol, plastics, microplastics, sludge, debris, and much more.

Meet us in the UK during July and August when we be on a roadshow to demonstrate the SCO1000. Check our website or contact Peter Cheney for more information.
