Solidification Products International (SPI) has been in business since 1991. SPI
manufactures & supplies oil and water absorbent products and containment systems
that provide complete solidification of hydrocarbon and various aqueous hazardous
and nonhazardous liquids. These products are used for emergency response spills
on land or water as well as routine maintenance applications by major utility, oil and
remediation contractors in addition to general industrial plants. SPI has evolved from
initially manufacturing a unique line of absorbent spill products to providing the
industry's first patented 100% oil containment systems. In response to proposed EPA
regulations, in the late 1990's SPI developed and patented the unique technology that
allows for direct discharge of storm water while providing 100% passive oil spill
containment.

William J.  Gannon (Bill) is President and CEO of SPI. Prior to founding SPI, Bill was
Executive Vice President for Liquid Waste Technologies (LWT) and was instrumental
in developing absorbent polymers for use by the environmental  waste disposal
industry since 1984. BilI introduced the first polymer filled absorbent oil spill booms
and pillows to the environmental industry in 1987.  LTW's products were tested on the
Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 and sold to oil companies on the North Slope in Alaska.
Bill and LWT were featured on the cover of
Hazmat World magazines' November
1990 issue demonstrating LWT's polymer oil spill products.

In 1991, Bill founded SPI to manufacture and market solidification technology.
Currently there are three US patents, #6,485,639 issued November 26, 2002,
#6,503,390 issued January 7, 2003 and #6,841,077 issued January 11, 2005.  
SPI continues to advance this unique, innovative technology with additional US and
foreign patents pending and the addition of future products to enhance the existing
SPI product line.
