spills as they happen


Produced from a Renewable
Natural Resource - originating
from the bogs of Canada


 

What is Sphag Sorb?

The finest grade of sphagnum moss from our bogs in Canada is the starting point for SPHAG SORB. The peat fibers are separated from all inorganic hard material, and then activated into a high-grade product with a remarkable ability to absorb and encapsulate oils, solvents, gas, diesel fuels, paints, glycol, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, organic chemical spills, cooking oil, greases.

SPHAG SORB products are ideal for cleanup and containment of oil spills in parking lots, machine shops, service stations, hazardous material, and emergency response area, factories, transportation companies, refineries, bulk terminals and all other environmental situations.

One Product - Convenient & Economical Solution to Contamination


Versatile

A single absorbent material capable of absorbing almost every type of liquid from any type of land surface, and effectively removing hydrocarbons from a water surface as well.  Being a natural and organic absorbent also provides a wider variety of options for disposal. 


Anywhere hydrocarbons are found SPHAG SORB has effectively absorbed: Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Engine Oil, Gear Oil, Hydraulic Oil, Transmission Oil, Organic Chemicals, Paints, Solvents, Glycol, Antifreeze, Cooking Oil, Greases etc.

Complete Readiness with One Inventory Item

SPHAG SORB is a natural organic absorbent that can be used in all phases of spill clean ups:

ñ The initial response to a spill.

ñ The absorption and clean up of spilled liquids.

ñ The removal and disposal of the contamination.

ñ And the remediation of the contamination with or without hydrocarbon digesting microbes.

SPHAG SORB is packaged in a variety of bags, containers, pads, socks and spill kits which simplifies preparedness for spill responses. This versatility translates into a simple, safe and complete readiness for reaction to spills with one inventory item.

Economical

The price of the absorbent, the weight of the absorbent, and the amount of liquid that can be absorbed per pound all determine the value of the absorbent.  An absorbents price is part of the equation but often not the most costly part. The volume of waste generated; the shipping costs and disposal costs are all a significant portion of the total clean up cost.  SPHAG SORB addresses all of these contributing expenses as it will typically absorb 4 times its own weight and generate much lower volumes of waste than competitive products.  By using SPHAG SORB, the cost associated with spill cleanups is cut three ways:

  • Less absorbent is required.
     

  • Lower weight and volume saves on shipping.
     

  • The cost of disposal is reduced because of lower volume.

Additional savings will be realized in the reduced labor and time required because of the fast absorbing characteristics of SPHAG SORB.

 

What are the features & applications of Sphag Sorb.


SPHAG SORB is produced to specific standards that achieve the highest absorption of liquids while generating the least amount of waste.

Eliminates many hours of conventional clean-up for industry due to remarkable wicking action and simple extraction requirements.
