Oil spills can be disastrous even if they do not happen in the water. They can do an enormous amount of damage if oil spill cleanup services in Chicago are not used as quickly as possible. The services will generally include several items to take care of the accident immediately.
Booms
These oil cleanup booms resemble big hot dogs. They are tubular and essentially serve as a barrier to prevent the oil from spreading any further. The material from which they are constructed soaks up the oil so it cannot advance past them.
Pads
Pads used to soak up the oil are known as hydrocarbon pads. Essentially, they are placed over oil that is pooled on hard surfaces where the oil is then soaked up. After the pads have reached full saturation level, they are picked up via special handling procedures and placed in plastic collection bags, and then subsequently disposed of.
Floor Sweeps
These are powdered absorbents that are essentially sprinkled on the spill, much as you would sprinkle sawdust to cover it, except that the sweeps consist of microbes that eat the oil. If the surface on which the oil lay is porous like soil, then the surface may need to be removed entirely and then aerated. This is one of the most thorough oil spill cleanup services in Chicago that can be used.
