i know that but it is still part of the clean up. what i am asking is why did BP order a few from MOPN also. MOPn oil/water machine separates at twice the rate. mopn has a far more advance machine to separate oil/water than kevin costners. i am surprise MOPn is not pushing the issue. MOPn should have taken their machine down to BP's dock and show them them the same way costner did. stick the damn product in BP,coast guard,wild life rescue"s face. its not that tough one water/oil machine is equal to 4 trailer loads of sorbent. mopn should still be trying to get BP to place an order . mopn machine most like also cost far less with twice the power.
