Ecopal© Oil Skimming technology was developed in South Africa, and has been proven during years of operation in one of the polluted canals in Durban.
Key points about Ecopal© Oil Skimming technology:
1. It is a mechanical process only, so no chemicals, detergents or additives are used in the cleanup process;
2. It is many times more efficient than existing clean-up methods;
3. If deployed quickly, it is able to prevent oil from spreading to precious coastlines;
4. Because it is mechanical and quickly deployable, it is able to drastically reduce the impact of oil spills on fish, birds and other marine and costal wildlife;
5. It can be deployed in the ocean, in lakes and rivers, in stormwater drains and open drains;
6. It can be deployed as a preventative mechanism in eg factory gully traps and oil spill traps so that the possibility of oil leaking into public drains and stormwater systems is drastically reduced;
7. It can be manufactured to order, depending on a user’s requirements.
