World Catalog of Oil Spill
Response Products
Ninth Edition


The essential reference book of the oil spill community has been extensively updated and revised and is now available.

The World Catalog is a comprehensive listing of information on containment booms, skimmers, sorbents, oil/water separators, pumps, and temporary storage devices.

The World Catalog started out as a basic listing of equipment specifications in 1986, and it has since evolved to be a useful reference book with descriptions of how equipment works, how to select equipment for different applications, and summaries of field and tank tests. As always, it includes comprehensive data listings with information on containment booms, skimmers, sorbents, oil/water separators, pumps, and temporary storage devices.

The World Catalog can be found wherever oil is produced, wherever oil spill equipment is available, wherever decision-makers and equipment buyers are located. Our coverage is worldwide. Major oil companies, government agencies, shipping companies, terminal facilities, and oil spill co-ops all use the Catalog and have done so for years.

Bob Schulze was the driving force behind the Catalog since the first edition in 1986. With Bob’s retirement in 2004, SL Ross Environmental Research took over production of the Catalog and has now published the Eighth and Ninth editions. With this edition we hope that we have met the high standards that have made the World Catalog the essential reference that it is. For the 9th edition we have published the Catalog in a CD-version for the first time, as well as in its usual hard-copy form. Interest in the Catalog remains high, as we have retained the usual support of manufacturers and suppliers for advertising and data listings.
