Environmental remediation of petroleum, oil and chemical spills

Emergency response on land and water. Absorbent booms, biological breakdown of contaminants, complete remediation of contaminated sites across North Macedonia.

Environmental remediation of petroleum, oil and chemical spills
in North Macedonia

Environmental remediation of industrial petroleum, oil and chemical spills is one of the most specialized and most requested services in industrial cleaning. Every minute of delay means the contamination spreads further — into soil, surface water and groundwater. A fast, expert response can be the difference between a local incident and an environmental disaster.

EZO TEH has a team trained and equipped for emergency remediation call-outs across North Macedonia. We have absorbent booms in all sizes (from 10 m to 200 m), floating pumps for spills on water, mobile biological breakdown systems and complete ADR equipment for transporting contaminated material. Response time in Skopje — 2 hours, in the rest of North Macedonia — up to 6 hours.

Besides responding at the moment of the incident, we also offer long-term remediation of contaminated sites — including biological treatment of contaminated soil (bioremediation), contamination quantification, cooperation with licensed laboratories and preparation of remediation reports accepted by the Environmental Protection Inspectorate. For corporate clients a 'retainer' arrangement is also available — we stand ready in case of an incident, with priority response.

Complete offer
for environmental remediation of petroleum, oil and chemical spills

The complete package — biological products, a team certified to ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001, 50001 and ADR, full documentation.

Petroleum and oil spills on water

The most dangerous scenario — petroleum product spills into rivers, lakes or industrial basins. We use absorbent booms to contain the spread, floating pumps to remove the material from the surface and specialized bio-products to break down the residual contamination.

Spills on land and soil

Spills of fuel, chemicals or oil on concrete, asphalt and earth surfaces, as well as other sensitive surfaces. Rapid immobilization with absorbent granules, collection of the contaminated material and — for more serious cases — excavation of the contaminated soil to the prescribed depths.

Remediation of polluted surfaces and sludge pits

Specialized bioremediation of soil, sludge pits and surfaces polluted with petroleum and petroleum products. Biodegradation of hydrocarbons using specific bacterial strains and enzymes.

Remediation of lakes, fishponds and lagoons

Biological remediation of lakes, fishponds and lagoons to improve water clarity, control algae and revitalize aquatic life. Biological products that restore a natural balance without chemical treatments.

Sludge and sediment removal

From basins, lagoons, tanks and collectors — removal of organic and inorganic sludge. Mechanical removal combined with biological treatment to break down the remaining organic content.

Remediation of contaminated sites (brownfields)

Long-term remediation programmes for contaminated industrial sites — former petrol stations, old fuel depots, abandoned factories. Contamination quantification, soil bioremediation, a complete report for the Inspectorate.

Chemical spills and incidents

For spills of chemicals of various classes — acids, bases, solvents, toxic substances. Specialized neutralization products, ADR equipment for safe handling, coordination with the fire service for larger incidents.

'Retainer' arrangements for corporate clients

For companies with a high spill risk (petrochemicals, transport, manufacturing) — we agree a 'retainer' arrangement with priority response, pre-allocated equipment and predefined procedures. A legal requirement for some companies.

What working
with us looks like

From the first call to the final documentation — a transparent, documented and compliant process.

01

Emergency call

Call us directly on +389 78 249 096. The dispatcher routes the call to the nearest team, and you get an estimated arrival time within 10 minutes.

02

Team arrives on site

Skopje — 2 hours. Elsewhere in the country — 4–6 hours. The team arrives with ADR equipment and absorbent materials prepared in advance.

03

Containing the spread

Priority — stopping further spread. Deploying absorbent booms, opening drainage channels, blocking access to watercourses.

04

Collection and removal

Mechanical collection of the material — with floating pumps (water), granules (soil) or direct excavation (for heavier contamination). ADR transport.

05

Biological treatment and report

Bioremediation of the remaining contaminated material (EzoSorb, specialized bio-reagents). Preparation of a remediation report for the Inspectorate and for internal use.

Questions
we are asked most often

What should I do immediately after a spill, before you arrive?
1) Make sure people are safe — evacuate everyone from the danger zone. 2) Stop the source if it is safe to do so. 3) Prevent the spread — put barriers in front of drainage channels and watercourses. 4) Call us. The dispatcher will give you further instructions while we are on our way.
How quickly do you get to the site?
Skopje and surroundings — 2 hours from the call. Larger cities in North Macedonia — 4 hours. Rest of North Macedonia — up to 6 hours. For 'retainer' clients response is a priority, usually 30–60 minutes faster.
How much does remediation cost?
It depends on the scale. A small incident (a few hundred litres of fuel on concrete) — project-based quote for call-out and materials. Larger incidents — charged per hour of work, materials used and transport. For an assessment, a specialist comes to the site.
Which agencies do you work with?
We regularly work with the Environmental Protection Inspectorate, the fire service, the police (for traffic incidents) and accredited laboratories for contamination quantification. You can give our dispatcher the details for a three-way call.
How long does complete remediation take?
Rapid containment — 2–6 hours from arrival. Collection of most of the material — 1 working day. Bioremediation of the remainder — 2 to 12 weeks (depending on the level of contamination and the soil temperature). Complete report — 30 days.
Who pays for the remediation — us or the insurer?
It depends on the insurance and the contract. Large industrial clients usually have policies that cover environmental incidents. We work with insurance companies — we can invoice them directly if you have a coverage clause. Otherwise — directly to the client, by invoice.
