Chemical and Oil Spill Cleanup for California Sites

Alpha Petroleum provides chemical and oil spill cleanup across Los Angeles and throughout California, dispatched from our Corona, California base. When a chemical or oil spill happens, we can help contain, clean up, and remediate the site, and coordinate the related work a project may need from first response through completion.

Not every situation is the same, so it helps to know which kind of need you are managing:

  • Active oil or chemical spill response. A release that needs attention right away. For anything active or uncontrolled, call the 24/7 line first.
  • Contained-spill cleanup. The spill is under control and the site now needs to be cleaned up properly.
  • Industrial and on-site cleanup. Cleanup at a plant, terminal, refinery, or other operating facility.
  • Remediation and follow-up work. Soil, surface, facility, or environmental remediation after the initial response.
  • Spill preparedness, exercises, and training. Getting an organization ready before an incident happens.

With 25 years of experience, trained personnel, appropriate equipment, and engineering support, Alpha Petroleum works with a focus on safety, efficiency, compliance, and environmental responsibility.
