Petro Barrier Systems - Technology
Presenting the Extraordinary Muir Lock Monster Technology
We have developed an unrivaled line of Patent Pending products to protect
waterways from oil/chemical contamination, featuring the Muir Lock Monster
technology. Our range of standard and custom designed products can meet all of
your containment needs. We have incorporated this unique technology into
products that have been engineered to economically protect drains, sumps, and
storm water drains.
Principles of Operation
One of the exceptional features of most of our products is that they
serve a dual function. They are capable of both filtering out small amounts of
oil and completely stopping the flow of oil into the water system in the case of
a major spill. Our innovative technology incorporates a unique filter material
that permits the flow of water, but traps any oil contaminants that may be
present. Therefore if the water entering the product is only slightly
contaminated, (i.e. oil sheen) the Muir Lock Monster lies dormant, and the
filtering section removes the oil, while allowing the water to continue to flow
freely.However, in the case of a large oil spill, the Muir Lock Monster is
awakened! The oil immediately begins to chemically react with the active
absorbent material, which rapidly congeals upon contact with the oil,
effectively "locking" the device. A solid barrier is created, which prevents any
oil from entering the water system. This system of containment allows for easy
clean up or recovery of the spilled oil.
