OIL CLEANING BIO-PRODUCTS LTD.
PREMIUM ABSORBENT FOR OIL SPILLS ON WATER
For oil spills on water
Hegsorb is a unique and highly effective absorbent of oil and other organic chemicals spilled in the sea or fresh water. It is made from recycled cellulosic waste, and is specially treated to absorb oil in preference to water - up to 18 times its weight. Absorbed oil is encapsulated and cannot leach out. It is supplied loose in 9 kilo bags and is easily manhandled and applied on site. It can also be used in tailor-made configurations as a filter to separate hydrocarbons from water in industrial effluents.
BENEFITS
* Highly effective oleophilic/hydrophobic absorbent for spills on water
* Full encapsulating absorption (not surface adsorption) of oil, organic chemicals & vegetable oil
* Oil is trapped in the fibres and is unable to leach out or give off fumes
* Made from recycled waste cellulose fibres, not a persistent petrochemical like polypropylene
* Safe and easy to apply
* Disposable off-site, or by composting or incineration on site
* Absorbs 12 times its own weight
* After saturation with oil, will still float on surface for easy removal
* Can be incinerated (15,000 BTU per kilo, low ash) after use if permitted

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Scatter Hegsorb directly over the spilled liquid. If this is on open water, Hegsorb should preferably be deployed behind an absorbent containing boom, either from the bank or from a boat. Hegsorb will attract the spilled oil or organic chemical quickly, and in preference to water.
Be careful in windy conditions. When the Hegsorb is saturated, it will continue to float. It should be raked or boomed in and removed from the surface for disposal, either as contaminated waste, or by incineration if this is permitted, or by composting with Hegrem as if it were contaminated soil.
Methods of use as a filter/separator are site-specific and must be designed to meet the configuration and operating requirements of the plant and process in question.
