PRESS RELEASE
SAFE, COST-EFFECTIVE & BIODEGRADABLE POLLUTION CONTROL:
SEE OIL CLEANING BIO-PRODUCTS Ltd. ON STAND 912
February1998
OCBP's "Heg" range of safe biodegradable pollution control materials (cleansers, degreasers, absorbents, spill kits and bioremediation agents) will be making their debut before the commercial vehicle industry at the CV Show in the NEC at Birmingham. The "Heg" products on Stand 912 should be seen by anyone in:
and with responsibility for:
- manufacturing
- maintenance or fleet and depot management
- pollution control
- vehicle washing/traffic film removal
- degreasing and parts washing
- plant maintenance, cleansing of machinery, oil spills on factory or depot floors
- the specifying of on-board or on-site oil spill kits for emergency response.
OCBP will be giving demonstrations in the handling of simulated oil spills of various kinds, and will be describing exactly how the "Heg" products can help companies in particular circumstances.
Commenting on the "Heg" products and the commercial vehicle industry, Richard Genochio, Managing Director, said: "Pollution control and related health and safety issues are integral to sound business management and keys to competitive advantage. We enable companies to get away from conventional caustic cleansers, toxic solvents and abrasive granular absorbents. Users such as LDV or Valeo Electrical Systems have found that the "Heg" products give real operational benefits and greener solutions. Our products are effective, safe and biodegradable. Our "Clean Works, Better Business" Partnerships offer major commercial and environmental gains".
Asked about particular applications by commercial vehicle operators, Mr. Genochio said: "A good case in point is the experience of Stevenage Oil Company which runs and maintains a fleet of Leyland road tankers. They faced the same problems as any other fuel oil company and fleet manager. These included vehicle washing and traffic film removal, minor spills and oiled concrete in the yard, and the cleansing and degreasing of tanks, parts and metalwork. They had been using granular or polypropylene absorbents and harsh detergents, caustics and solvents. Some just didn't work. Some did the job but were very unpleasant to use and caused a disposal problem. They found that the "Heg" products, by contrast, and were safe to use, biodegradable and highly cost-effective - and did not damage livery paintwork . I am glad to say that the success of Hegol as a liquid cleanser, of Hegfloor as a prime absorbent and a key component in our emergency spill kits, prompted SOC to take on all the "Heg" products as a distributor in OCBP's growing UK and overseas network. So SOC's road tankers will in future be delivering to their customers not only fuel oil, but also the "Heg" pollution control and degreasing materials".
