However, with careful planning, thoughtful input from all the parties involved, and good advice from outside vendors, brand owners can choose closures that balance their needs and cost constraints with the preferences of retailers and consumers.

In 1988, North Little Rock constructed its own hydroelectric cogeneration plant on the Arkansas River. Its two generators are capable of producing 42 megawatts of power at peak capacity, enabling the city to furnish approximately 20 percent of its own fixed-cost fuel electricity. Oil in the river is not tolerated; potential oil leaks must be contained. So it is no surprise that the plant has a way to keep potential oil leaks from getting into the river and remove oil from water: oil skimming.

In their continued effort to help companies save money while also saving the environment, the Abanaki Corporation, the world leader in oil skimming products, has redesigned its Tote-It® portable oil skimmer make clean up and oil disposal easier.

An important tool in industrial pollution control, oil skimmers represent the most effective and least costly method of removing oil from water in almost any type of application. In a continued effort to help companies save money while also protecting the environment, the Abanaki Corporation, the world leader in oil skimming products, has upgraded their widely used Oil Grabber oil skimmer with a Model 82.
