We are ready for some samples!!

We are ready for some samples. We need 5 gallons of each of the three types of oil contaminating the beaches. We need "Free Oil and Sand" (the black liquid oil and sand), some of the so called "Tar Balls" (red gelatinous emulsion created by the oil, the Corexit 9500 and Gulf water, they look more like "Tar Blobs") and the "Burn Box Tar Balls" (the black tarry residual left from burning the aromatics off of the oil) to run through our pilot plant and determine the best mechanical designs and enzyme /protein formulation to recover the oil from each of the three types of beach contamination.
