 An estimated 1,000 barrels, or 42,000 gallons oil was released from an ExxonMobil pipeline into the Yellowstone River near Billings, USA, on 1st July 2011. Under the direction of the Unified Command, almost 600 people were involved in the response and cleanup effort, including ExxonMobil's North America Regional Response Team. The oil company deployed almost 33,000 feet of boom and approximately 160,000 absorbent pads to clean up oil adjacent to the river. Chemtex received the call on the holiday weekend and was able to deliver three tractor trailer loads of booms and pads within 24 hours.

 

 

Chemtex responds to huge spill in Michigan


A state of emergency was declared this past July in southwest Michigan's Kalamazoo County as more than 800,000 gallons of oil released into a creek began making its way downstream in the Kalamazoo River. Chemtex mobilized trailer loads of sorbent booms, sweeps, and snares to help aid in the massive clean up efforts. The following are some photos from this incident.
