What does the Oil Stop Valve, made by Environmental Valve Products, do for the environment?
When oil/fuel spills, it impacts everything from recreation to local economies, tourism and related industries not to mention the damage it can cause to wildlife. Everyone knows oil/fuel spills are dangerous.
Our mission is to make a quality product that does not fail and provides years of service in the future protecting our waterways and estuaries. These also include our sources of water!
Hydrocarbons are combustible and they consist of gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, and transmission type fluids to name a few. They are the main energy source worldwide. These are deadly poisons and are required to be kept from intrusion into the environment. Breathing fumes can cause serious injury or even death. It is imperative to keep them out of our environment.
Storing these dangerous fluids presents issues that must be addressed. Should there be a malfunction or rupture in the storage container or device, these dangerous poisons might escape into the soil, river, or pond? Would the runoff follow the path of rain or water?
Of course it would, so let’s keep these poisons from entering the watershed or drain basin. Let’s keep them contained so we can clean it up. We’ll have less spilled fuel or oil in our environment and less poison to make us sick. Having a plan to contain hydrocarbons due to accidental release keeps us and our environment safe. Our product, the Oil Stop Valve, stops the flow of hydrocarbons and backs it up to the spill containment system specified in the SPCC plan (Clean Water Act).
