PETRO-GREEN OIL SPILL CLEANER
Petro-Green, Inc. produces the ADP-7 Surface Washing Agent. Oil leaks or hydraulic fluid sprays can be emulsified, reducing odor, appearance and flammability using a diluted spray of the ADP-7 liquid concentrate. The water wet solution can then easily be flushed off of a hard surface onto soil where the ADP-7 acts like a magnet to attract bacteria already native to the site to rapidly biodegrade the fuel or hydraulic fluid in place. There are no left over oily rainbows as well. The ADP-7 contains no artificial bacteria, so it has an indefinite shelf life.
