Press Releases

April 24, 2008
American Pollution Control Corporation (AMPOL), an oil spill response and hazardous material remediation services company based in New Iberia, Louisiana, USA, has entered into a cooperative agreement with Tornado Motion Technologies, LLC (TMT) of El Cajon, California, USA to provide submerged oil recovery and sub-surface contaminated material remediation. Tornado Motion Technologies, LLC (TMT) specializes in environmental dredging solutions. The Eddy Pump has unique and patented operating characteristics that make it a perfect choice for submerged oil recovery.

The TMT equipment has been engineered to safely and efficiently remove more of the contaminants completely, with a minimum of disturbance, so there is less dispersion of the sunken oil back into the water column. Pumping rates of up to 230 cubic meters per hour at depths up to 200 Feet (60 meters) or more with booster pumps in-line can be achieved.

TMT’s new Sub-Dredge is capable of dredging underneath floating platforms such as ships, floating dry-docks, barges and other obstacles without the expenses associated with moving these obstacles and getting permits. The Sub-Dredge is completely remote operated by land/barge controls and follows the underwater terrain in order to create level cuts and eliminate over-dredging. The Sub-Dredge also comes equipped with a stinger attachment with diver operated controls for more challenging sediment removal around debris.
