Diesel Spill on Roadway. A tractor trailer truck with a damaged saddle tank spilled 75+ gallons of diesel on
frontage road of I-35 in Oklahoma City. The diesel was pooled around the truck and pooled in the street. Within the main
pooled areas, Aqua N-Cap polymer was liberally applied to contain the spill. Once the saddle tank was plugged and the truck
was towed off, Boomer Environmental brushed the Aqua N-Cap into the spill areas and applied a total of 80 pounds of product.
After allowing the Aqua N-Cap to absorb the diesel, the contractor swept up the residue and placed it into drums. The
Aqua N-Cap absorbed the entire pooled spill, but some diesel had soaked into the asphalt leaving a strong diesel odor
and a slight residue. Boomer Environmental requested RTA Systems to assist with the application of the TERRACAP™ 3000/4000
additives to clean up the remaining residue and the diesel soaked asphalt... DOWNLOAD THE FULL CASE STUDY»
Diesel Spill on Pond Site. Two quarts diesel fuel spilled on edge of pond. Spill was contained by booms.
Aqua N-Cap was distributed over the fuel spill and allowed time to microencapsulate. The resultant mat was folded and easily
removed from the surface of the water. Click on image to enlarge.
Test Aqua N-Cap on Marvel Mystery Oil®. Aqua N-Cap is a white powdery substance that once sifted over a spill,
it rapidly absorbs the hydrocarbon in minutes as plasticization of the elastomer occurs. Hydrocarbons and other non-polar
contaminants become microencapsulated on a molecular level in a non-leachable, non-reactive, copolymer matrix.
