Oil Absorbent - Fuel & Oil Spills

Oil Absorbent - BioTreat OA10 is a unique, recyclable oil absorbent product that has been developed specifically for absorbing fuel and oil spills. In most cases oil and fuel spills are cleared by absorbing the liquid onto a medium such as sand or earth, sweeping up and then disposing of the product as a hazardous waste. The costs for removal and landfill are expensive and will continue to rise. Using OA 10, BioTreat have devised a method, which reduces the frequency of removal and landfill, hence saving money.

The benefits of BioTreat OA10 are significant and include:

  • Significantly reduces landfill costs.
  • Safe to use.
  • Easy to use, no special machinery required.
  • Environmentally friendly.

BioTreat OA10 contains a proprietary blend of microbes coated onto the surface of the absorbent medium. This absorbent can absorb upto 130% of its own mass in liquid. Once the product has been applied to a spill, the material is placed in a drum and left for the microbes to digest the oil or fuel. There is an obvious price advantage in reducing the frequency of landfilling hazardous waste, but there is an additional advantage in that the hydrocarbons from the oil or fuel will be more rapidly degraded after landfill as the action of the microbes continues to work.
