DID YOU KNOW?
Hydrocarbon contamination became a real issue since the discovery of its carcinogenic properties. For so long the chemical industry tried with some success to neutralise hydrocarbon plumes. This came at a cost to our environment, as hydrocarbons were neutralised, other hazardous chemicals were added eg: nonyl phenols, ammonia, hydroxides, strong acids, phosphates etc.
EN2000 First Response® was invented from the ground up, to satisfy all criteria, that will remediate hydrocarbon based contamination, ensuring that once it is used, no further environmental contingent liabilities are created.
Core Objectives
EN2000 First Response® has been designed as a solution with these core objectives:
To emulsify most hydrocarbon chain lengths and prepare them for the natural bio-degradation process through naturally occurring bacteria on land.
Emulsify Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) and sulphide gases.
It must not add or facilitate the addition of foreign residue that will impact on the environment; ie the ‘cane toad’ effect.
At a Glance
EN2000 First Response® was invented from the ground up, to satisfy all criteria, every stage was tested and bona fide before moving to the next. Over 4 years of research and development has been conducted in order to ensure the superiority of EN2000 First Response®. The result is a world class product that will remediate hydrocarbon based contamination, ensuring that once it is used, no further environmental contingent liabilities are created.
EN2000 First Response® emulsifies hydrocarbons on contact, minimising the dangers of explosion and flash backs by engulfing VOCs.
EN2000 First Response® will start the biodegradation process immediately.
