Oil Spill Eater II

Testing of OSE II by Dr. Tsao of British Petroleum

Regarding the Effectiveness of OSE II Remediating Oil from
Deepwater Horizon, Blow Out, Gulf of Mexico

The major oil company British Petroleum tested OSEI
Corporation’s product called Oil Spill Eater II (OSE II) at Louisiana State
University from November 2010 through January 2011. Relevant sections of BP’s
BCST (Bio Chem Strike Team) test results and summary “interim report” are
attached.

British Petroleum formed a group named the Bio Chem Strike
Team (BCST). Under the direction of Dr. Tsao, BCST was established in response
to the Deepwater Horizon incident by the Alternative Response Technology (ART)
program. The BCST consisted of experts from BP, LSU, LDEQ (Louisiana Department
of Environmental Quality), USCG (U.S. Coast Guard), OSPR (California), SCAT,
and highly experienced oil spill response consultants. Furthermore, BCST operated
in conjunction with advice from EPA and NOAA.

OSE II was then slated for testing and the tests were
started in November of 2010, and concluded in January of 2011. The tests were
very thorough and measured several pertinent aspects in regards to remediating
hydrocarbons/oil. The tests were conducted with Gas Chromatograph Mass
Spectrometry EPA test procedures. Bacteria counts, as well as dissolved oxygen,
nitrogen, and phosphorous levels were measured, and PAH and Alkane degradation
was quantified.

The results from the tests of OSE II were excellent!

OSE II showed a great ability in the closed laboratory test
to be able to remediate PAH’s, as well as the Alkanes. In fact, by the
conclusion of the testing time frame, OSE II had remediated 80% of both
components of the oil released by BP which ended up in Bay Jimmy, Louisiana.
Based on total concentration levels of the PAH’s OSE II actually remediated 200
%of the PAH’s or 162% of the total of both oil fractions since the Alkanes and
PAH’s were measured on a 100% basis for each.

This test by a major oil company is the second major testing
of OSE II on two of the largest spills on water in the history of planet Earth
caused by Man. Exxon tested OSE II in 1989 at Florham Park, New Jersey and
discovered OSE II was the most effective product in the world by a factor of
better than 90% on the North Slope Alaskan Crude oil from the Valdez spill.

BP has now successfully tested OSE II on their spill in the
Gulf of Mexico which is estimated, at this time, to be over 600,000,000 gallons
of oil spilled.

Dr. Tsao wrote in his report “After nearly one year since
the Deepwater Horizon spill, residual weathered oil remains in many locations.
The need for a field trial to establish operational criteria for final
bioremediation work plans should be initiated before early Spring 2011.”

The OSEI Corporation has alerted BP that, after over 16,000
spill clean ups in the past 21½ years, the logistics in regard to the
successful application of OSE II were worked out some time ago.

The remediation of the PAH’s also verifies that OSE II is an
extremely effective first response bioremediation product, and has among its
many benefits:

) causes the oil to float which limits the negative toxic
impact to the water column or ocean floor of the oil and dispersant

) the reduction of the adhesion properties so the oil cannot
stick to birds, grass, rock or sand on shorelines

) the elimination of fire hazard

) proven non-toxic by the numerous formal toxicity tests,
the fact that you can safely wash your hands with it, and the TV news program
in which Retired Rear Admiral Lively drank some of it

) Boom deployment actually works and can help since OSE II
causes oil to float

) OSE II causes the oil to float, because of the method in
which it goes to work on the oil, it is still very difficult to see

) defined end point of turning the oil into water and CO2

The above clearly demonstrate that it is the best and only
needed oil spill response and that it will, even at this late date, remediate
both fresh and weathered oil and dispersant currently in the Gulf.

Is it possible that as oil volume slowly depletes that these microbes will slowly wean themselves off of the oil as they begin to find other food sources?

I have also been trying to get the word out about bioremediation. Here are two videos that explain it:
