Emergency Spill Response

BioSolve has long been a standard component of emergency response procedures at fire departments and hazmat operations throughout the North America.. Hundreds of fire departments and municipalities purchase BioSolve on a regular basis for use on their fleet vehicles (see illustrative customer list). 

Pre-ignition    BioSolve reduces ignition risk by addressing the source – encapsulating hydrocarbon molecules to reduce or even eliminate flammable vapors.  

Post-ignition   BioSolve works in two ways: efficiently knocking down the flame and neutralizing the fuel source.  

Note: The alternative technology for spill response is sprayed foam which cuts off the supply of oxygen, but does not render spilled fuel non-flammable.  Additionally, responders must be diligent in maintaining the integrity of the foam blanket to prevent the fuel from reigniting.

Additional benefits of BioSolve used in emergency spill response:

• Solubilizes hydrocarbons into an aqueous solution that can be readily vacuumed up or absorbed, leaving minimal or no residual in the spill area
• Eliminates hazardous oil sheen on the roadway
• Will arrest asphalt deterioration from fuel spills.  
• Promotes accelerated biodegradation of any unrecovered emulsion that may be washed into drainage areas
• Should effluent enter drain system, no adverse impact on downstream wastewater treatment operations
• Non-foaming
