SpillRemed (Industrial) for industrial Oil Water Separators
Water from the maintenance shop in South Jersey Port Corporation in New Jersey was generally contaminated with free oil and grime during pressure washing and the shop would wash at least four vehicles in a day. Wash water was released through oil water separator system using absorbent socks and diapers to absorb teh oil efore release into the waste stream as per the directive of the local municipality. The TPH of the water received from the washing of vehicles in the South Jersey Port was pretreated with SpillRemed and in one weeks time there was more than 90% reduction in the oil content and the water was clear. Pre-treatment of sump water before passing through OWS reduces load on the existing system and also prevents discharge of oil in the waste stream. The study showed that toxic edffect of the hydrocarbon was reduced by SpillRemed as evidenced by sudden growth of protozoans. Incidentally it was noted that these protozoans fed on the bacteria in SpillRemed indicating the beginning of a food chain in a system that did not support any life earlier.
