EPA Proposes to Extend SPCC

As a major industrial nation, the United
States produces, distributes, and consumes large quantities
of oil.
Petroleum-based oil is used as a major power source to fuel
our factories and various modes of transportation, and in
many everday products, such as plastics, nylon, paints, tires,
cosmetics, and detergents.
On average, the U.S. uses over 250 billion gallons of oil
and petroleum products each year. To meet this demand, each
year the U.S. produces an average of 125 billion gallons
of crude oil and imports an average of 114 billion gallons
of crude oil and other petroleum products. At every point
in the oil production, distribution, and consumption process,
oil is invariably stored in storage tanks.
With billions of gallons of oil being stored throughout
the country, the potential for an oil spill is significant,
and the effects of spilled oil can pose serious threats
to the environment.
The
Spillpro was originally designed to clean up small
oil and antifreeze spills in
shops, however, new uses are always being discovered for The
Spillpro including the cleanup of
automotive
and machinery fluids, powders, CNC millings and paint. The
Spillpro has also been well received by the maritime, mining,
roadside cleanup, refining and agricultural industries.
Not only is The Spillpro faster than traditional methods
of cleaning up spills, it is much safer for the environment
because it allows for the recycling and proper disposal
of all types of spills.
The Spillpro is proudly made in the U.S.A. Our factory
is located in Vernal, Utah where we manufacture, assemble
and test each Spillpro unit.
