Oil Spill Solutions in the Rain

Oil-Water Separator Filters Are a Must-Have

An oil spill can be difficult to manage on its own. Throw in rainy weather, and that spill becomes considerably more difficult.

In situations like these, a simple absorbent pad won’t work. Rain water creates a barrier on standard white oil-only absorbent pads and causes the water to run off. In addition, oil rises to the top of the rain water or puddle and quickly spreads.

Fortunately, we carry a line of products from a brand called Spilltration™ that allows the water to filter through the pad – like a strainer – and collect only the oil inside the absorbent material. These products are super flexible and can be air sealed to fit in tight spaces for secure storage.

With their innovative oil-water separator filter technology, Spilltration™ products will work with many applications, such as around ditches and storm sewer outfall drains.

Spilltration™ Shammy Towels

When oil leaks or spills in rain water in a confined area, these shammy towels will absorb the oil with speed and efficiency.

Have you ever seen rainbow-colored streaks on the ground or in a puddle near a gas station? These towels are a cost-effective way to clean them up, absorbing big blobs of oil as well as little swirls. Watch this video to learn more about how the oil-water separator filter in these towels works.

Spilltration™ Husky Rugs

Not all oil spills confine themselves to small puddles. When you need a larger, more effective pad, Spilltration™Husky rugs are your go-to product.

They can be used to cover storm drains, protect runoff ditches and catch oil from water at outfalls. They might be “husky” rugs, but they are designed to take up less space while still absorbing more. Click here to see Spilltration™ Husky Rugs in action.

Spillver Bullet™

At 100 feet long and weighing just 18 pounds, the Spillver Bullet™ is the first of its kind. Because of the way it’s packaged, it requires 75 percent less space than traditional booms.

Also, the packaging allows just one person to deploy the product in only 30 seconds. This is crucial as time is of the essence when trying to keep spills from reaching storm drains. Watch this video to learn more about the Spillver Bullet™.

All of these oil-water separator filter products are essential to have on hand as we never know when rain might fall. Contact Y-pers to find out which products will work best for your application.
