Petroleum Spill Cleanup Support for Aircraft Maintenance, Fuel Handling and Emergency Response Teams
Airports, military aviation facilities, aircraft maintenance operations and fuel handling areas routinely encounter petroleum-based contamination involving Jet A, Jet A-1, JP-8, diesel fuel, hydraulic fluid, lubricants and other hydrocarbons.
Fireman's Brand SPILLCLEAN® is a concentrated surface washing agent designed to assist with the recovery and cleanup of petroleum contamination from hard surfaces as part of facility-specific spill response and recovery programs.
SPILLCLEAN is best suited for controlled cleanup operations where recovered materials, wash water and petroleum contamination are collected, managed and disposed of in accordance with applicable environmental requirements and site procedures.
Applications for Controlled Recovery Environments
Aviation facilities often maintain dedicated spill response procedures for fuel releases, equipment leaks and maintenance-related contamination. SPILLCLEAN may be incorporated into these programs where cleanup materials are collected for recovery, treatment or off-site disposal.
- Aircraft maintenance hangars
- Maintenance and overhaul facilities (MROs)
- Ground support equipment service areas
- Fuel storage and transfer facilities
- Contained fueling operations
- Military aviation maintenance facilities
- Emergency response and recovery operations
- Dedicated petroleum cleanup areas
Common Aviation Fuels and Fluids
SPILLCLEAN may be used in cleanup programs involving a variety of petroleum-based contaminants commonly encountered throughout aviation operations.
- Jet A fuel
- Jet A-1 fuel
- JP-8 military jet fuel
- Diesel fuel
- Hydraulic fluid
- Engine oil
- Transmission fluid
- Grease and lubricants
Airport Fire & Rescue (ARFF) Spill Response Support
Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) personnel may be required to respond to fuel releases and petroleum contamination associated with aircraft fueling, ground support operations, maintenance activities and transportation incidents.
Fireman's Brand SPILLCLEAN® may be incorporated into emergency response procedures designed to support containment, recovery and cleanup efforts involving aviation fuels and petroleum-based contaminants.
Potential response scenarios include:
- Aircraft fueling incidents
- Jet fuel spill response
- Hydraulic system leaks
- Fuel transfer incidents
- Ground support equipment releases
- Military aviation fuel spills
- Petroleum contamination recovery operations
Aircraft Maintenance Facility Cleanup
Aircraft maintenance facilities routinely encounter petroleum contamination from engines, hydraulic systems, lubrication systems, equipment servicing and fuel system maintenance activities.
SPILLCLEAN may be utilized as part of cleanup programs where contaminated wash water and recovered petroleum materials are collected and managed through facility-approved recovery procedures.
- Maintenance hangars
- Engine service facilities
- Hydraulic repair areas
- Ground support equipment garages
- Fleet maintenance operations
Fuel Storage and Transfer Facilities
Fuel farms and fuel transfer operations represent critical areas where aviation fuels are stored, transferred and dispensed. Spill response planning often includes containment and recovery procedures designed to manage accidental fuel releases.
SPILLCLEAN may be incorporated into cleanup programs operating within contained recovery environments where recovered materials are collected and properly managed.
Military Aviation Applications
Military aviation operations frequently utilize large quantities of petroleum products, including JP-8 and other aviation fuels. Maintenance activities, equipment servicing and fuel handling operations can require specialized spill response capabilities.
SPILLCLEAN may support military fuel spill response and petroleum cleanup activities conducted under installation-specific environmental and operational procedures.
Recovery and Environmental Management Considerations
Fireman's Brand SPILLCLEAN® is intended for use as part of controlled petroleum contamination recovery operations.
Recovered liquids, wash water, absorbent materials and petroleum residues should be contained, collected and managed according to applicable federal, state, local, military and facility-specific requirements.
Users are responsible for determining appropriate recovery, containment, treatment, transportation and disposal procedures for their particular operation.
Why Facilities Use Concentrated Spill Response Products
- Supports a wide range of petroleum contamination incidents
- Flexible dilution ratios for varying cleanup requirements
- Simplifies inventory management
- Useful for both planned and emergency cleanup activities
- Suitable for aviation and industrial recovery operations
