PRISTINE SEA
A
BIOSORBENT
TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS BIOSORBENT TECHNOLOGY ?
 |
COMBINATION OF ABSORBENTS, MICROBES & NUTRIENTS |
|
ABSORBENT CAPTURES AND CONTROLS OIL SPILL |
|
MICROBES DEGRADE HYDROCARBONS TO:
|
CARBON DIOXIDE |
|
WATER |
|
FATTY ACIDS |
|
|
NUTRIENTS SUPPLY RATE-LIMITING NITROGEN &
PHOSPHORUS |
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY ?
|
USED IN ALL WEATHER & LIGHT CONDITIONS |
|
USED IN HEAVY ICE CONDITIONS |
|
SCALE TO SPILL SIZE |
|
DISPERSAL BY AIRCRAFT AND SHIPS |
|
REQUIRES FEW PERSONNEL |
|
PERFORMANCE DESIGN |
PRISTINE SEA PRODUCTS:
|
SEMI-SOLID “CAKES” ARE FORMED |
|
CHEMICALLY BOND WITH OIL |
|
HYDROPHOBIC & HAS AFFINITY FOR ORGANIC LIQUIDS |
|
“CAKES” CONSIST OF OIL, OXYGEN, MICROBES &
NUTRIENTS |
|
“CAKES” DENSITY LESS THAN WATER |
|
“CAKES” KEEP MICROBES IN CONTACT WITH OIL,
NUTRIENTS, & OXYGEN |
|
SATURATED WATER |
|
“CAKES” PROVIDE TIME RELEASE METHOD FOR
NUTRIENTS |
|
“CAKES” WILL NOT LEACH CAPTURED OIL |
FEATURES:
|
NO CONTAMINATION OF WATER COLUMN OR SEDIMENT |
|
WORKS IN SALINE, BRACKISH & FRESH WATER |
|
APPLICATION BY AIRCRAFT & SURFACE VESSELS |
REMOVAL PROCESS:
|
BIODEGRADATION, MECHANICAL AND OTHER METHODS |
