GTS-Oil Recovery Enhanced Lift & Float (SWA)

Is a patented, high-performance surface washing agent engineered to lift and float hydrocarbons from spills in water, including marine and shoreline environments. Its powerful action rapidly releases trapped oil, bringing it to the surface for fast, efficient recovery and helping turn lost hydrocarbons back into valuable product while reducing waste.

Beyond water spills, GTS-O.R. excels in sludge reduction during tank cleaning and in the bioremediation of contaminated soils, helping operators minimize hazardous waste and speed site restoration.

Designed to work in synergy with both naturally occurring microorganisms and GTS-Microbes, GTS-O.R. enhances biological activity to accelerate hydrocarbon breakdown after cleanup, shrinking the overall environmental footprint and supporting long-term ecosystem recovery.

GTS-O.R. a Patented Lift & Float Surface Washing Agent (U.S. Patent No. 8,491,721 B2), is listed on the U.S. EPA National Contingency Plan (NCP) Product Schedule and licensed by the California Department of Fish & Wildlife, Office of Spill Prevention & Response (OSPR). This certification confirms that GTS-O.R. meets some of the strictest standards for official oil spill response, from open-ocean releases to coastal cleanup operations.
