Environmental pollution clean-up company Drizit Environmental has, following customer demand, expanded its operations to include a spill clean-up service to the manufacturing and transport industries.

While established in 1976 already, Drizit explains that with its products being used in any type of industry, “there became a need to have a divison that dealth with hazardous waste removal and disposal, including spill clean-up on land, as well as in dams, rivers and ports”.

Therefore, it says, the company “provides a critical service to the environment and marine life”.

The service, the company explains, remedies environmentally harmful situations through “complete service provision across a broad scope of situations and potential disasters”.

All work is done with the highest regard to environmental legislative requirements, with hazardous waste products generated from spillages disposed of at only registered and appropriate disposal sites.

Certificates of safe disposal are also obtained following the disposal of waste, which Drizit then forwards to the client for their records.

This clean-up service is offered alongside the company’s product range, which is manufactured from recycled materials with an emphasis on protecting natural resources. The company’s products and services are designed to offer reliability, efficiency and cost effectiveness while keeping the environmental impact to a minimum, it says.

In addition, market demand also dictated the company begin manufacturing separators, skimming equipment and facilities for industrial effluent management systems, as well as environmental pollution control products and facilities.

Drizit manufactures a wide range of oil and chemical absorbents, under licence to overseas principals, “ensuring access to the latest pollution control technology, but also being able to adapt many products to local conditions”.

The company will be exhibiting at this year’s Electra Mining exhibition, where it will be promoting its range of portable incinerators, leak containment solutions, drum spill decks, fluorescent lamp crushers, oil and paint tin crushers, and more.
