Husky, that already has a fine line-up of complimentary products,
just
added two more: Oil Baron and Oil Baron Plus. Like a student who
loves
chemistry class, Paul Nilsen, Husky’s Technical Service Engineer
assigned
to these new products, is excited to demonstrate how they work
using
something called microbial action. He, along with Brad Baker,
Husky’s
Executive Vice President, are nothing short of giddy when they
talk
about the two new Oil Baron products.
Paul could not wait to squeeze some oil onto a granite sample
board and
then add a diluted amount of Oil Baron. The mixture started to
bubble
and pop. Carbon Dioxide was released into the air and water
remained.
When the bubbling stops, no special hazardous waste disposal is
required for what was left over. A simple concept with
far-reaching
ramifications. Oil Baron is used to clean unsightly, unsafe or
hazardous
messes using floor scrubbers, pressure washers or mops. The
product is
also great for use in an Emergency Spill kit -- because it makes a
gas spill
non-flammable very quickly.
As we moved on to the Oil Baron Plus product, Paul coolly checked
his
phone. He had an important reason to stay connected: his wife was
about ready to give birth to their child. Although he was allowed
go
home to be with her, he wanted to finish the demonstration albeit
at a
record pace.
Paul explained that Oil Baron Plus removes the toughest
hydrocarbon
(oil, gas/diesel, tar) stains on most hard, industrial surfaces.
Paul warned
that one must be careful when using this product as it will turn
an asphalt/gravel road into just gravel and, if it gets on your car,
will dissolve
the paint.
Key market segments for these products include the petroleum
dispensing industry (gas stations, convenience stores, truck
stops,
petroleum product distributors, airports, etc.) and the automotive
repair
industry (car repair businesses, truck/auto dealers or service
centers, oil
change shops, etc.) and any other commercial/residential
application
where petroleum messes are an issue.
More detailed information is at the company's web
explanation videos and technical specifications.
Husky Corporation is a leading manufacturer of equipment for the
petroleum dispensing industry, which has been growing organically
and
through acquisitions of companies and products in related
industries and
has been in business for also 70 years, based now in Pacific,
Missouri.
Congratulations to Paul and his wife who, a short time after our
interview, brought a healthy baby girl into this world. A world
that now
contains a way to turn spilled hydrocarbons into harmless carbon
dioxide
and water. Someday she will be proud of her Daddy for, in his own
way,
helping to make the world a
cleaner place
