Company Cites Testimonial From Airport Hazmat Responder
Sorbent Greensorb, LLC is celebrating its product's increasing
use in cleaning up fuel and oil spills at airports. "Greensorb" can
be used to absorb fuel, oil, most acids and many other
environmental contaminants, and the company says it can be reused
or safely disposed of in landfills.
Company President Tom Uskup notes, "Over the past 6 months, we
engaged the aviation industry to take notice of independent lab
reports showing how GreenSorb works to increase safety and ease
environmental concerns with aviation fluid spills, and some large
airport facilities are beginning to jump on board."
Charlie Muldoon, VP of Business Development, explains, "The
environmental team at Reagan National Airport in Washington DC
started using GreenSorb because it would absorb and encapsulate all
aviation fluids. They also appreciated that GreenSorb passes EPA
testing after absorption, which translated into improved safety and
lower cost-per-use for the Washington Metro Airport Authority."
Islip Regional Airport Hazmat Team Member Mike Allen commented,
"Every other product we have tried does not compare to GreenSorb on
absorbing caustic liquids like SKYDROL. The other products
we’ve used contain the aviation liquids at best, but
GreenSorb absorbs them. Even in wet conditions, when the others
don't seem to work at all, GreenSorb still works the way we
want."
Uskup adds, "The aviation & aerospace industry is extremely
focused on safety and performance, so the fact that these large
airports find value in using our product suggests that more airport
facilities will take notice. Next, we expect to get the attention
of major airport users like large airline operators, manufacturers,
and aviation MROs."
