The product being tested by BP is NOT an underwater, chemical dispersant but rather a non-chemical hard surface oil remediation product. Every reference to dispersants on TV has been to chemical dispersants, and most recently...underwater chemical dispersants
As for the National Contingency Plan Product Schedule, Would BP be 'testing' a product that they couldn't use in the present crisis? And how to explain prior use?
"Current APS clients using its technologies have already included some of the largest oil and gas companies
in the US, including:
Conoco Phillips, Exxon Mobil, Avon Petroleum, Valero Petroleum,
BP (British Petroleum) and the US Navy Petroleum Reserve."
May 12, 2010 - New Orleans, Louisiana - PRNewswire-FirstCall -- ACT Clean Technologies, Inc.
(Stock Symbol: ACLH, Web Site: www.ACTCleanTech.com) announced today that British Petroleum
has requested field tests of ACT Clean Technologies, Inc. fluids for remediation of the Gulf Oil Spill damage.
Ancon Marine, Inc., a contractor which sells fluids for ACT's wholly-owned subsidiary, American Petroleum
Solutions, Inc., has been requested by BP to conduct field tests of ACT's patented cleaning fluids for the
removal of oil residue from hard surfaces, including such things as the hulls of ships and barges, docking
facilities and rocks along the shoreline.
ACT Clean Technologies, Inc. CEO, Russell Kidder, stated,
"If we successfully remove the oil residue from these hard surfaces as we have previously done in
other remediation projects, we believe that BP will order our fluids to assist in the remediation of the
continuing damage occurring from the recent oil well explosion in the Gulf of Mexico."
