OIL CLEANING BIO-PRODUCTS LTD.
KEYWORDS
For spills of ANY oil on any hard floor surface, Hegfloor offers unrivalled absorbency, and economy of use. It also cuts down VOCs and acts as a fire retardant, and is non-abrasive, so will not damage painted or sealed floors (unlike granular clay absorbents). Slip hazards are removed quickly and easily. Absorbed oil can be composted on site, removing the need for costly disposal.
For best results, use Hegfloor with a Hegfloor Ecocycle Composting Unit, our wheeled dispensing/recycling/composting unit designed for use on factory and workshop floors. Hegfloor absorbent is brought quickly and easily to the spill site, unsaturated absorbent is reclaimed for later use, and saturated absorbent is tipped "hands free" into the integrated composting unit [click here for details].
Oil spills onto water, or oil that has seeped indirectly into water, can be contained and absorbed using biodegradable booms, or in some circumstances using Hegsorb loose. Both products, including the absorbed/encapsulated oil, can be bioremediated on site, or, subject to local permissions, incinerated - in either case, you save on costly off-site disposal. Hegsorb, which is also used to fill the booms, will absorb up to 12 times its own weight in oil and is hydrophobic.
Biodegradable Hegsorb can be used loose, or packed in pillows, in a variety of oil/water separating applications. Pillows will sit on top of oil/water separator tanks and selective absorb the oil. Once saturated, the pillows can be replaced and biodegraded on-site. Hegsorb can also be built into filters in effluent streams, drain covers, and other applications. Follow these links, or call us on (+44) 01763 287 749 to discuss how Hegsorb's extremely high oil absorbency and very low water absorbency can be built into your site-specific applications.
Oil-stained concrete can be difficult to clean because the oil lodges in very fine cracks and pores from which it is not easily dislodged by conventional cleansers. Hegol and Hegsurf.dc can solve the problem by bioremediating the oils in situ, using bioremediating bacteria which follow the oil into the cracks and pores in the concrete.
Self-remediating parts-washing fluids mean that oil in the fluid is constantly being bioremediated and thus effectively removed without the need to replace the parts-washing fluid. By reducing the need to replace the liquids, you are of course saving money. Both Hegsurf.pw and Hegparts are self-remediating parts-washing fluids, and both contain rust inhibitors.
Our range of safe, biodegradable degreasers include Hegol (with pre-mixed bioremediating bacteria); Hegparts and Hegsurf.dc (with bioremediating bacterial bran to be added at time of use); Hegsurf.pw (with rust inhibitor and bioremediating bacterial bran to be added at time of us); and non-bacterial degreasers: Hegsurf.gp for general purpose de-greasing; Hegflight, solvent-free and specially formulated and approved for washing aircraft; Hegsolv, safe blend of degreasing solvents; and Hegwash (pre-diluted multi-purpose cleaner).
Absorbent booms socks and pillows
These products can be used on concrete under or around machines or pipeworks to contain and absorb drips and spills; or tethered on water to contain spillages and remove oil from the surface of water. Work in tanks, lagoons, ponds/lakes, marinas, etc. Click here for more details.
Protect yourself against the risk of leaking or punctured drums, tanks or pipes with Hegseal emergency sealant, which will stick to oily or rusty surfaces, even under pressure. Punctures and leaks are contained for at least 24 hours, giving you time to pump out or remove remaining liquid.
Various Spill kits, including absorbents, booms, socks, protective gloves, breathing mask, disposal bags, etc., can be bought 'off the shelf', or can be made up to your specific requirements. On-vehicle kits are available designed to fit behind driver's seats; larger kits are available in bags, or in 120 or 240 litre mobile bins or large static storage bins. Own livery can be printed on on bags and bins to order.
Bioremediation of contaminated land
Hydrocarbon-contaminated land can be bioremediated in-site using Hegrem, which will also immobilise and absorb oil, without leaching, preventing further contamination. Made from recycled agricultural waste.
Land or sludges contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons can be also be bioremediated, using Hegboost.ch.
The HEG products can help you minimise the amount of waste for off-site disposal.
Our biodegradation-first approach means that not only are our absorbents and degreasers biodegradable, but also that absorbed oil can be bioremediated on-site (e.g. in our Hegfloor Ecocycle Composting Unit). The amount of contaminated waste for disposal can thus be reduced, in many cases to zero.
Extend the working life of coolants, soluble cutting oils, or other liquids, by using Hegsorb to remove contaminating tramp oils, which can then be bioremediated on-site.
Extend the working life of parts-washing liquids by using our self-remediating Hegsurf.pw or Hegparts in your parts-washers: both contain bioremediating bacteria, and so oil is constantly being degraded and removed from the parts washing liquid. Both liquids also contain rust inhibitor.
Biodegrade solidified grease in grease traps using Hegtrap - avoids the use of harsh chemicals and actually breaks down the grease rather than merely dislodging it to be re-deposited further downstream.
Contain, stabilise and absorb spilled acids with Hegacid, which will also suppress acidic fumes and part-neutralise the acid to make it safe for handling.
Hegsolv is a blend of solvents and surfactants which avoid the environmental and health and safety problems of many other solvents on the market. Used for heavy-duty degreasing and removal of a variety of industrial inks, greases, glues, paints, etc.
Hegstrip is a blend of powerful solvents and surfactants which avoid the environmental and health and safety problems of many other paint strippers on the market. Hegstrip will remove dried paints, cured adhesives, caked grease etc.
The HEG products can help your business improve workplace health and safety in a number of ways.
Firstly, all our products are non-toxic and safe to use. Harsher chemicals and dangerous dust producing absorbents are avoided in favour of products which minimise dermatological reactions and irritant or toxic fumes. (See for example Hegfloor (absorbent) and Hegsolv (safe solvent).)
Secondly, the HEG products will help you maintain a safer, cleaner workplace: cutting down spill slip hazards, VOCs and fire risk (Hegfloor and Oil Spill Response Kits); cleansing of oil and grime from hard surfaces (Hegsurf.gp); general workplace cleaning (Hegwash); and safe, thorough removal of grime and grease from hands (Heghand).
Environmental Quality and Compliance
The HEG products are environmentally benign, manufactured where possible from recycled or reclaimed waste materials. They are also themselves biodegradable, and ecologically safe.
They will also help you reduce the environmental impact of on-site products, processes and wastes. Our biodegradable bagged absorbents (Hegfloor and Hegsorb) and absorbent booms allow spilled oil to be bioremediated on-site, and we supply a mobile composting unit (Ecocycle) for the purpose.
Deep-stained concrete and other difficult oil cleaning problems can be achieved simply through our bioremediating liquids such as Hegol and Hegsurf.dc, which biodegrade oily contaminants rather than using harsh chemicals to disperse them, and are themselves biodegradable.
Oil-on-water problems can be resolved using Hegsorb, which absorbs up to 12 times its own weight in oil but will not absorb water. It can be used in filter applications as an oil-water separator, for example in effluent pipes or separator tanks and sumps, or on open water where oil is present on ponds, lakes, marinas, reservoirs, etc. It can be used loose or in pillows and booms, according to site requirements.
Hydrocarbon-contaminated land problems can be tackled effectively and efficiently with Hegrem and Hegboost, which allow the on-site bioremediation of contaminated land.
A range of oil spill response kits, and emergency sealant, will help you prevent spills occurring, and to minimise the cleanup costs where they do occur.
