BIOCONTROL TO BEGIN INTERNET SALES OF
OIL SPILL CLEANUP PRODUCTS
Pittsburgh, PA - April 23, 1998 - Biocontrol Technology,
Inc. (Nasdaq:BICO) announced today that beginning the week of
April 27, 1998, its oil spill cleanup products, including the BIO-
SOK bilge maintenance system, will now be sold on the internet
on its website, located a www.bico.com.
The products are sold through subsidiary Petrol Rem, Inc.
and can therefore also be found at www.bico.com.
Of widest appeal to net surfers will be the BIO-SOK, a
simple to use non-toxic bilge maintenance product. The
innovative BIO-SOK absorbs on contact the oil and fumes in a
bilge, preventing the contaminant from spilling into marina
waters where they pollute and cause heavy fines for both the boat
and marina owners.
BIO-SOK differs from all other bilge cleaners, however,
because once absorbed, BIO-SOK then begins to biodegrade the
contaminant, then biodegrades itself. Therefore, there are no
contaminants left to harm the environment. The BIO-SOK has won
several awards, including the 1996 NMMA-IMTEC Innovation Award,
Trailers and Accessories category, the 1997 Motorboating &
Sailing Innovation Award, NASA Spinoff Technology Honors and
nomination to the NASA Hall of Fame.
The company's other oil spill products, all of which contain
and biodegrade hydrocarbons, will also be available at the
website. They include PRP for oil spill cleanup on open waters,
marshlands, and beachfront wildlife sensitive areas; BIO-BOOM
for quick containment; and OIL BUSTER for industrial sludges.
Biocontrol Technology, Inc. has its corporate offices in
Pittsburgh, PA and is involved in the development and manufacture
of biomedical devices and environmental products. Subsidiary
Petrol Rem, Inc. develops and manufactures unique oil spill
response products, and has offices as well as manufacturing and
warehousing facilities, in Pittsburgh, PA, Florida, and the
Texas/Louisiana Gulf, USA.
