Environmental Safeguards, Inc. Unveils Technology To Drastically Cut Oil Industry Cleanup Costs
PR Newswire, Friday, September 13, 1996 at 09:02
HOUSTON, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Environmental Safeguards, Inc.
(OTC:EVSF), announced today that it has received excellent response from many
of the energy/environmental industry executives who attended the demonstration
of its Series 6000 Indirect Thermal Desorption Unit ("the ITD Unit"). The ITD
Unit uses new technology to remove the hydrocarbon contaminates from soil at
considerable savings to conventional methods. EVSF's technology received "The
Earth Day Award," in conjunction with its client Exxon Company U.S.A., from
the State of Utah for its environmental protection and restoration. Unlike
so-called "dirt-burners" incinerators, the flame never touches the
contaminated soil in the ITD Unit application. The hydrocarbons are removed
from the soil and recycled back to the client, and the "sterile soil" can be
used for other applications or simply spread over the location in certain
instances.
Environmental Safeguards, Inc. Chairman Jim Percell stated during an
interview by the local television station, "Our technology both addresses the
latent liability associated with the contamination and gives back to the
client the hydrocarbons for reuse. Other critical factors are the cost and
time savings due to the easy portability of the ITD Unit which allows the
movement to a location and soil remediation operations to commence in a very
short time eliminating the costly necessity of transporting the contaminated
soil to a permanent facility."
Percell further commented that the contamination applications for the EVSF
ITD Unit technology include soil contamination and daily process waste streams
at refineries and petrochemical plants, Department of Energy and Department of
Defense installations, pipeline installations, abandoned oil production
fields, oil tank storage batteries and drill sites using oil-based drilling
"mud." Environmental Safeguards, through its proprietary processes, is a
recycler and remediator of hydrocarbon and hydrocarbon derivative contaminated
soil.
