Wish I could help you on this one. But when I come back in from my "normal" rotation, my company wants to send me out there for the clean-up. I could find out then and let you know.

That's probably not all that far off.

Man thinks his product could solve oil spill problem

VENICE, LA (WAFB) - On a day when President Barack Obama's visit to the Louisiana coast was the main headline, weather continued to hamper efforts to contain the oil slick offshore and a Livingston Parish man claimed he is selling a product that can stem the tide of oil headed toward the coast, even in the ongoing rough seas.

Kevin Barbier of Denham Springs works for IND-TEK Solutions, Inc. He is trying to push a product he thinks could be the answer to the massive oil spill threatening the Gulf Coast.

He said the product, called Oil Spill Eater, works by causing natural bacteria in the water to rapidly grow when mixed with the solution.

The bacteria then essentially consume the oil, leaving no harmful elements behind.

Barbier added Oil Spill Eater has another big advantage over the dispersants being currently used.

'It will also cause the oil spill to rise above the water level, so you're not damaging the water table, whereas the dispersants are going to sink it and it's going to pass right through the water table and kill everything it comes in contact with,' Barbier explained.

That would be great. Thanks.

I know one of the chemicals is similar to dawn and is also found in shampoo, but I need the specific product name.

I read the WAFB article - sounds promising.
