Mar Incorporated operates the Ohmsett National Oil Spill Test Facility under contract to the Minerals Management Service (MMS). Through the application of waste minimization practices, Mar, Incorporated was able to save MMS as much as $100,000 annually by installing an oil water separator and filtration system to recover and reuse as much of the oil as possible for future tests and then for use as a heating fuel. Mar, Inc. also recycles scrap metals generated in the industrial shop.
