By Daniel Pérez, Staff Writer. Despite a downturn in crude oil prices this year, nearly 400 booths lined the floor of the Convention Center on Wednesday for the start of the South Texas Oil Field Expo. Companies from all over the U.S. came to showcase their latest technologies — everything from remote oil-field monitoring to powerful air-conditioning units to help prevent heat exhaustion in the South Texas summer — and to connect with fellow members of the oil and gas industry. Massachusetts-based Galuku showcased its SpillFix product, a natural coconut-based absorbent that can clean a variety of spills in an environmentally safe manner. It is primarily used to clean oil spills and is an alternative to products made of silica-based-clay, which can be a health hazard and require more material to be effective. [read full story]

  • “Bar-B-Que sauce is easy enough to clean up when it’s on your fingers and lips, but it’s an entirely different story when a five-gallon jug of it ruptures and flows onto a warehouse floor. SpillFix was applied to the entire disaster area – from the pallet to the cardboard, the shrink wrap and the growing puddle on the floor. In three and a half minutes, the entire mess was cleaned, and the warehouse was restored to a safe workplace again — using just one product.”

  • "I have yet to encounter a spill or leak this product can’t handle. Without SpillFix, my job would be much more difficult to achieve. I fully give this product a 100% success. I’ve been working here for almost 8 years. Best thing I’ve ever used in my job to date." Read case study.

    Tim O., Manufacturing Industry

  • "SpillFix helps us keep spills under control in dorms, cafeterias and other common areas. Huge savings in disposal costs and maintenance and repairs deferred."

  • "SpillFix cleans the spills up on our floors better than the previous current products. However, the cleaning has to be done correctly, this is a watch-out-change for our team. In the past, we put down our current product and walked away for a few hours or a day. SpillFix should be cleaned up right away." Read case study.
