History
Iain Muir, president and founder of Petro Barrier Systems Inc. had spent a number of years as a consultant, working for a large American firm in the oil spill containment field. After discovering that the technology being used by this company to filter and contain oil spills had some deficiencies, Muir spent 2 years developing the patented MLM technology; a mixture of absorbent chemicals that react with and remove hydrocarbon oils from water.
This technology has since been adapted for use in a number of different applications and patented products including Floor Drain Protectorstm for use in floor drains in industrial settings, Storm Drain Protectorstm for use in storm and sewer drains and Bermed Area Protectorstm for use in large transformer sites and fueling stations. As well as manufacturing standard products, PBS has and will continue to create solutions for our client’s unique problems/applications.
