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
