PES-51 shipped for use in refinery clean-up in hurricane impacted areas.

Environmental contract services companies have ordered the product for use at refineries in Louisiana and Texas, which were impacted by the recent hurricanes. “PES-51 has been used successfully for over 10 years by spill response teams, responders and even local fire departments”, states Practical Environmental Solution’s president, Bill Sims. “ It is a logical next step to adapt its use to treating the hydrocarbon contamination caused by the recent hurricanes, as PES-51 can safely be used over or around water”.



PES-51™ is a uniquely proprietary blend of biological ingredients and all natural orange oil that combine to lift petroleum hydrocarbons from any surface, porous or non-porous. The contaminants are then available to be wiped off or flushed off with water, collected and recycled. The biological surfactants of PES-51 ™ deposit a short-lived protein film on the surface, preventing recontamination while the oil is being gathered up. It is insoluble in water, so the oil floats (it is not emulsified into the rinse water), allowing collection by conventional means.
