C.I.Agent’s Spill Response Bag

The C.I.Agent Spill Response Bag is a rapid response system for hydrocarbon spills on water and land. It allows the user to keep tools at hand for quick containment and clean-up and includes reusable components. Listed on the

Product Schedule, C.I.Agent solidifier is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It turns fuel, oil and other hydrocarbons into an inert, rubber-like mass that can be recycled into asphalt, rubber and plastic, or burned as fuel. It is also disposable as normal trash. The bag measures 17 inches wide, by 20 inches high, by eight inches deep and can be tucked out of the way onboard, stashed in a dock box or kept near a fueling station. The bag is customizable to fit particular applications. A stan- dard kit contains a 12-ft reusable
