The EEL is a patent-pending combination of equipment and processes that will assist oil cleanup efforts not only in the gulf, but anywhere in the world. The primary purpose of the EEL, which is capable of covering large areas, is to extract oil/water mixtures into boats or barges for further separation. It functions not only as a containment boom/barrier but also as an effective integrated extraction line capable of removing contaminants (oil) from water for processing through specialized separation systems.
Clean-up efforts employing current boom systems are often plagued with difficulties caused by ineffective methods for recovering oil and tar from water. In addition, the containment booms are often breached, spoiling the cleanup effort.
The EEL system will not only have an immediate impact on current clean-up efforts, but also demonstrates exciting potential for long-term applications. Future spill response plans should consider the EEL for emergency efforts and as well as for ongoing maintenance and containment efforts in a variety of settings including harbors, marinas, and oil platform.
The EEL system takes surface and sub-surface oil recovery to the next level of volume efficiency and speed of collection. Our system personifies the next stage in the evolution of oil spill response.

As an alternative to current practices in waste remediation and management, the MPS unit is designed to work in concert with the Earth’s ecosystem. Targeting broken down plastics and floating pollutants with a non-obtrusive approach. A submerged fan is used to draw water through the unit. The gentle current brings pollutants into the device, where they are collected on an internal filter. When saturated, the filters are flushed either manually or automatically from the top of the unit, which is then ready to continue operation. Marine pollutants are collected passively while microscopic marine life flows through the unit unharmed. The collected materials may be returned for recycling or other environmentally beneficial processing.
It is expected that individual MPS units will be powered by the latest in environmentally friendly sustainable energy systems. Large-scale networks of MPS units will be powered by alternative energy sources such as ocean currents or wind farms.
