NATURAL - safe for
Humans, Animals, Plants and the Environment.
NON-TOXIC
- No associated Health & Safety issues or environmental issues in use or
disposal.
ORGANIC - Used to improve soil conditions (A
renewable resource)
BIODEGRADABLE - Passes EPA requirements for land
filling Hazardous and nonhazardous waste. (Landfill
friendly. No long term environmental effect.)
FLAMMABILITY - Sphag
Sorb does not ignite instantly when exposed to heat or flame, in fact it
is difficult to establish a smolder.
VERSATILE - Can be applied on any surface type, land
or water, and absorbs the widest variety of liquids
when compared to traditional absorbents.(Reduces
inventory and simplifies training and decision
making; one absorbent does it all)
EASY
TO USE - no specialized training or equipment, just
open and apply. (Reduces labor and equipment expense
LIGHTWEIGHT - Absorbs 4 times its own weight. (Less
physical strain in handling and lower shipping and
disposal cost)
SUPER ABSORBENT - Absorbs hydrocarbons with up to 8
times less Sphag Sorb absorbent than competitive
products. (Lower volumes of absorbent and weight.
Reduces transportation and disposal costs)
ABSORBS ON CONTACT - Quicker absorption means less
spill spread and less penetration resulting in lower
clean up cost.
NON-LEACHING - Holds onto the absorbed liquid Less
dripping mess in clean up, (Very important in
controlling the liquid on site cleanup,
transportation and landfill.
VAPOR SUPPRESSIVE - Reduces flammable vapors by 90%.
(Lowers explosion and odor risks
MICROBE ENHANCED -
Specially cultured bacterial strains that are known to digest
hydrocarbons are concentrated in a formula and then added to Sphag Sorb
in production. Designed to assist Mother Nature by adding massive
amounts of specific bacterial-enzyme to hasten the remediation process.
OPTIMAL REMEDIATION ENVIRONMENT - SPHAG SORB
provides an ideal (Remediation) environment by
allowing heat, air and water to reach the microbes,
ensuring rapid bacterial growth and reproduction.
RENEWABLE / SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES - Sphagnum peat
moss is the dead material that accumulates as new
live material grows on top and exerts pressure on
the peat moss below. Over 50 million tons of
peat are estimated to accumulate in the natural
environment each year in Canada while current
production utilizes approximately 700,000 to 800,000
tons annually. Several options are currently
utilized for bag reclamation and restoration.
MICROBES - Indigenous microbes are simply those
originating in a particular region or country.
Indigenous microbes exist everywhere, differing from
region to region and varying in strains and
concentrations. Some competitor’s claim that they
have indigenous microbes, that only means there are
characteristic to the specific region that the plant
is harvested in. (SPHAG SORB adds a microbe
formulation that contains several types of
microorganisms that can degrade aliphatic and
Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon chemicals. It
contains microflora that survive on hydrocarbon
waste substances, utilizing it as a source of
carbon. These safe, nonpathogenic microbes produce a
broad spectrum of enzyme systems. This concentrated
microbial formulation merely assists Mother Nature’s
indigenous microbes by adding massive amounts of
specific bacterial-enzymes to hasten the remediation
process)
