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.

Has a density of 6-7 lbs per cubic foot.

Particle size is "standard Bin 3= minus 1/8"

Light brown color

Packaging: 2 or 3 cubic feet paper bags.

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.
