Ultra-Filter Pads (photo) are suitable for use on construction sites, oil fields and other areas where spill containment is needed but shelters or structures are not available to keep out rainwater. The filters capture oil, grease and other hydrocarbons while allowing clean rainwater to flow through. The filter’s polyethylene and polyvinyl construction is lightweight but durable, says the manufacturer, and it folds for quick and easy storage or transport. Replaceable Ultra-X-Tex liners quickly capture oil, grease and fuel leaks and spills. Two-inch foam sidewalls provide structure and help contain storm water during periods of quick or large amounts of rainfall, ensuring the liner has sufficient filtering time. — Ultra Tech International, Inc., Jacksonville, Fla.
Divert and collect spills
before they become a problem
The Pig Low-Profile Leak Diverter (photo) was recently introduced for catching leaks in tight spaces and channeling them away before they damage the environment or equipment, or create a slip hazard. The Low-Profile Leak Diverter is made of a durable, vinyl-coated, non-permeable material that resists punctures, mildew and degradation. The diverter’s compact size allows workers to target spills — even those in tight spaces — and can be used as a long-term maintenance solution, or as an emergency response when a leak is discovered. The diverter is resistant to ultraviolet radiation for up to 12 months, making it suitable for outdoor use, and is flame resistant for added safety. The unit accepts a standard 3/4-in. hose connection to safely channel liquid to floor drains or to a collection container. — New Pig Corp., Tipton, Pa.
This high-absorbancy sorbent
is made from recycled material

This company has expanded its SPC absorbent product line to include the new Re-Form Granular absorbents. This absorbent is made from 100% recycled post-consumer paper waste, and absorbs — on contact — oils, solvents, lubricants, coolants, water and most non-aggressive liquids. With a one-to-one absorbancy ratio and low moisture content, Re-Form Granular absorbents can absorb their own weight in oil and can fully retain spills. They were tested to have one of the highest bulk densities among alternative granular sorbents, thus they do not blow away in the wind or other adverse weather conditions. The granular absorbent has no detectable level of crystalline silicate or other hazardous materials. They are pH neutral, which decreases the probability of reacting with volatile liquids, and are virtually dust-free, leaving no stains or visible residue. They are also low in ash content, which makes them easier to incinerate and reduces the amount of residue sent to landfills. — Brady Corp., Milwaukee, Wisc.
