Introduction

The fast containment and clean up of oil and fuel leakages and spills is essential if pollution is to be reduced. All too often, however, it can be difficult to obtain sufficient quantities of absorbent materials quickly – especially if the incident occurs at night, or during transportation.

AES-Marconi’s R.E.S.C.U.E. (Rapid Emergency Service for Cleaning Up the Environment) is a spill response service for land and water to mitigate the impact of spills on the environment and to minimise the cost of cleanup.
