Biosorb is an environmentally friendly alternative to peat
and other sorbent products. It doesn't cause any depletion
of natural resources, and offers superior performance in a
biodegradable medium. It is the lower-cost solution
for efficient cleanup of land, water, and hard-surface
spills, and for restoration of contaminated sites.
 |
All natural, completely renewable resource. |
 |
Non-toxic. |
 |
Absorbs 6+ times its own weight, leaches less than
1%. |
 |
Has indigenous microbes for bioremediation of
petroleum hydrocarbons. |
 |
Lower disposal cost
Landfills may accept (subject to local and federal
regulations);
Incineration yields less than 2% ash content. |
 |
Rated at 7500 BTUs. |
 |
Not water-soluble, and will float for long periods of
time, making it useful for filtration of liquid
contaminants in water as well as making recovery of
water-borne spills much easier. |

To see how various factors may
influence the time it takes to properly remediate a
location, please see the
Needville, TX Tank Battery Research. Warm temperature,
adequate soil moisture, and soil nutrients play a large role
in determining how well and how fast the microbes eat,
reproduce, and destroy the hydrocarbons in question.
