Oil Spill Containment And Removal SYSTEM

 

Meet OSCAR, Guardian’s “spokes-otter” shouting about our new and  proprietary containment and removal system. OSCAR utilizes both the proven technology of floating containment Guardian’s proprietary system design.

For the first time there’s a complete system to contain and remove floating oil and sheens with one device.

“OSCAR” is not your everyday polypropylene or cellulose absorbent blanket. OSCAR is custom in design and contains a choice of any of our highly effective absorbents.

Here’s how different OSCAR is!

Unlike polypropylene or cellulose absorbent booms and socks used with conventional systems, OSCAR provides more surface area, is easy to handle, secure and efficient.  OSCAR is so adaptable it can be arranged and modified to accommodate almost any application.

Because OSCAR uses special and a variety of high capacity absorbents based on individual needs and requirements, OSCAR gives you maximum flexibility not found with other products. Best of all, OSCAR actually works, removing all traces of floating oil sheen.
