Spill Green Solutions…
®
• Safety – Quickly mitigate hazards & reduce risks associated with
deployment, waste handling & disposal.
• Cost Reduction - Significantly reduce logistic costs in residue
disposal compared to traditional methods.
• Residue Reduction - Decrease amount of residue & bi-products
by 10-15x. Bi-products are non-leaching, non-flammable, non-toxic.
• Improved Economics & Performance – Meet or exceed
regulatory requirements – Environment Canada and EPA listed.
• Broader Spectrum of Utility – Use on a broad range of media
(surfaces, soils, water, etc.) & hazardous chemicals (more than
competing technologies).
* All wastes, including hazardous wastes, must be properly disposed in accordance with federal, state/provincial and local laws.
Responsible Solutions
• Our patented technologies deliver effective new
solutions for a wide range of hazardous spills.
• Old strategies such as dispersants, adsorption
materials that can leach or be squeezed to release
spill material & bio products that require specific
temperature and oxygen levels are not always
effective under new environmental standards.
• Spill Green products are positioned as key tools in
your “toolbox” of spill preparedness. Spill Green
delivers options to effectively and safely manage a
wide range of spill materials & site conditions.
Responsible Solutions
• Spill Prevention – vessels, oil rigs, pipelines & transportation to
utilize spill kits. Like smoke detectors or seat belts, hazards &
damage are mitigated immediately following the incident, before the
responders arrive.
• Neutralize Hazards – when hazards are neutralized, adverse
effects on the environment, water, animals above and below water
surface, responders etc are exponentially minimized. Activities are
no longer focused on toxic/hazardous recovery.
• Metrics of Success – we believe strategies that demonstrate
improved safety, faster response, generate non-hazardous biproducts and reduced costs need to be established as
“Requirements” in the decision-making process.
• Green Procurement – products & procedures used by or
purchased by government agencies & affiliates receive higher
priority or status if they meet/exceed environmental/safety criteria.

Spill Green LS
Patented Technology
•
Spill Green LS is a food grade SEEPS tri-block granular copolymer that
once broadcast over a spill, rapidly absorbs the hydrocarbon in minutes as
plasticization of the elastomer occurs. Hydrocarbons and other non-polar
contaminants become microencapsulated on a molecular level in a nonleachable, non-reactive, copolymer matrix. The resultant bi-product may
simply be thrown out*, recycled or burned as a bulk fuel.

* All wastes, including hazardous wastes, must be properly disposed in accordance with federal, state/provincial and local laws.

Spill Green LS
Diesel Spill on Water
•
•
Two quarts diesel fuel spilled on
edge of pond.
Spill was contained by boom.
•
Spill Green LS was distributed
over the spill and allowed time to
microencapsulate (approx 20
minutes).
NOTE 1: Booms can be made from Spill Green LS at your location as a secondary product.
* All wastes, including hazardous wastes, must be properly disposed in accordance with federal, state/provincial and local laws.

Spill Green LS
Diesel Spill on Water
•
The resultant mat was folded and
easily removed from the surface of
the water.
•
•
Bi-product can be used as bulk fuel.
Where facilities exist, can be recycled
into new products.
NOTE 2: Waiting longer than 20 minutes before recovering the LS bi-product allows the LS to produce a more complete and ridged
residue making it easier to recover. In the pictures associated with this document about 45 minutes passed and the resulting residue
was like a blanket that could be pulled along the surface of the water and was folded up like a blanket.
* All wastes, including hazardous wastes, must be properly disposed in accordance with federal, state/provincial and local laws.

Spill Green LS
Pooled Crude on Gravel
Spill Green LS can be used on pooled hydrocarbon liquids, on any surface.
• The pictures show how pooled crude oil on gravel can be solidified by adding LS and waiting for the LS to
perform.
• If the gravel/aggregate if very fine in texture, the LS residue solid will have some of the gravel/aggregate
attached to the residue.
• Spill Green LS can be used any where pooled hydrocarbon liquids are present.
• Portable
• Self-contained & powered
• Propels LS product with
air or water
• Up to 100 lbs/minute
• All temperatures
• Deploy from ships/rigs
• Immediate response
• Simple to use
• Ideal for spills of any size
• Accurate, efficient

Spill Green LS
Used as an Active Barrier
Illustration
1. Place a layer of sand in the
bottom of a cup.
2. Place a .5-1cm of Spill Green
LS on top of the sand.
3. Place another layer of sand on
top of the Spill Green LS.
4. Add any amount of oil or
hydrocarbons on top of the
sand.
NOTE: the oil flows through the top
layer of sand but stops when it hits
the LS.
Also NOTE: after 24 hours the
hydrocarbon will not penetrate the
Spill Green LS layer.
The picture demonstrates how Spill Green LS can be used
as a barrier to further soil/sand/aggregate contamination.

Spill Green HS
®
•
Contaminants such as oil, gasoline or
diesel are easily remediated from hard
surfaces resulting in a non-hazardous,
environmentally friendly solid residue
that can simply and easily be recovered
for easy disposal or left on-site.
• Spill Green HS can be mixed with contaminated soils to
achieve excellent stabilization & may be left in situ.
• Effective clean-up of shorelines, Brownfields, roadways,
parking lots, job sites, forest floors, machinery &
equipment and contaminated soils.
Spill Green HS
®
• Through a patented micro-encapsulation
process, the hazardous characteristics of the
waste such as ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity,
and toxicity are quickly eliminated.
• HS is a two-part solution that rapidly desorbs,
emulsifies & binds spilled materials into a solid,
inert and stable amorphous silica (sand) residue.
• HS is available in various sized containers & can
utilize a simple hand pump sprayer or industrial
power sprayers for commercial, ground &
pavement clean up.

Case Studies
Spill Green HS deployed on aggregate in a crude oil tank battery
The pictures in this grouping show a demonstration in the staked area being cleaned up or
remediated with the HS product.
An initial application of HS
Step One followed by an
application of HS Step Two
in the demo area
Because the aggregate
was saturated to about
15cm, the area was raked
to expose the remaining
untreated aggregate.
A second application of
both HS Step One & Two
product was applied.
This final picture shows
the remediated or cleaned
aggregate.
Note: The aggregate will require cleaning again should the treated aggregate be covered again with
oil. Also, note that since the product is silica, the residue will always take on some of the colour of the
contaminate it is encapsulating.

Case Studies
Hydraulic Oil Spill on Roadway
•
•
•
In March, 2007, a large truck accidentally released 30+ gallons of hydraulic oil along
approximately 125 meters of roadway. The roadway was slick and unsafe for use.
Taking about twenty minutes, approximately 30 gallons of each of the Step 1 and Step 2 HS
product was sprayed onto the spill area. By the time the length of the spill was sprayed, the patented
technology had encapsulated the hydraulic oil and was dry where the application began.
The resultant residue was swept with a Bobcat sweeper, resulting in approximately one-half of one
55 gallon barrel of waste. The environmental contractor estimated that 30 to 40 bags (40 lb bags)
of clay absorbent would have normally been used resulting in seven to eight barrels of waste.
Spill Green HS remediated and encapsulated the hydraulic oil leaving the road surface dry,
eliminating the street safety hazard and leaving no hydrocarbon odour.
