Efficient Spill Clean Up

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Morgan Sindall have trialled more efficient methods of managing spill clean up.

One method was using Spill Hound. Spill Hound is built around a modified wheelie bin which includes a storage unit, brush, shovel, filter sieve, and unique absorption granules. The granules are made from a naturally occurring fibre that has been chemically modified to recover both oil and water-based spills.

When used on a spill, the granules form small clusters which are then shovelled and fed through the filter sieve. The sieve then allows unused granules to fall back into the storage unit, which minimises waste and reduces disposal costs.

The second method was using Site Mat. This is an outdoor filtration product which absorbs  oils and fuels, but does not absorb water. This minimises potential waste as more oil and fuel can be absorbed before the filter needs to be replaced.

      We are the manufacturers of Spill Hound, which is rapidly becoming the gold standard for oil spill cleanup. Spill Hound is the most cost effective oil spill clean up system available. It is super fast and locks in oil spills so that they cannot leach out to cause further environmental concern. The recycling capability means that Spill Hound can typically be recycled up to 20 times before requiring final disposal. For companies who work to ISO4001, Spill Hound makes a positive contribution to recycling targets, sustainability targets and waste minimisation targets. It’s also a British invention, manufactured in the U.K.
