An oil spill occurs when oil or any hydrocarbon is accidently released into the sea from oil tankers, rigs and hydrocarbon wells due to the negligence of the concerned authorities or because of nature's vagaries. Notwithstanding every effort to prevent their frequent incidence, these oil spills continue to occur, and with greater intensity and repercussions. The best way to combat an oil spill and to curtail their consequences is to ensure effective, quick and affordable oil spill cleanup. At Tern Environmental, we are driven by this objective of providing affordable and quality service and products to control and clean oil spills. Our products ensure that there are neither any major short term effects nor any long term damages of the oil spill. One of the most popular products in our inventory is the very versatile oil boom. They are specifically designed for certain set of prevailing conditions over the spillage-prone areas. They facilitate thorough cleanup in the event of the spill. Not only are the booms very affordable, they are also very quick and reliable in their operation. Containment booms prevent the spread of oil to the neighboring coastlines and shores. They divert and channel the spillage in thick layers along the desired paths so that recovery of the oil becomes really easy and quick.
Sorbents are another range of products for spill cleanup. Once they are placed on the affected areas, they get to work absorbing all the oil. They are made of materials that allow them to absorb oil many times their own weight. Moreover, the use of these sorbents minimizes the negative effects that the spill causes on the marine organisms since no material is left over in the sea after the cleanup procedure is completed.
A spill kit is undoubtedly the most effective and convenient tool to tackle and handle the oil and chemical spills. Besides being hands-on and portable, they come with all the necessary equipment that is required during the cleanup procedure. A typical, spill kit includes oil splash goggles, waste-bags, protective overalls, dust-pans, absorbent mats and pads and rubber shoe covers among others. They protect the user from acids and other toxic substances.
