Sphag Sorb Absorbent, 2.2 Cubic Foot, 25 lb Bag, PSP100-119

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, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and all other organic chemicals.

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

1. The initial response to a spill.
2. The absorption and clean up of spilled liquids.
3. The removal and disposal of the contamination.
4. And the remediation of the contamination with or without hydrocarbon digesting microbes.

SPHAG SORB is a super absorbent organic compound that is used to clean up oil, gas, diesel fuel, solvents, paints, glycol and organic chemical spills. Peat is partially fossilized plant matter (mostly hemicelluloses, cellulose, and lignin) that is formed in poorly oxygenated wetlands where the rate of accumulation of plant matter is greater than that of decomposition. Peat is a highly porous material with a porosity of approximately 95% and a large specific surface area, which gives it a greater absorption capacity than other common absorbents.

Versatility

SPHAG SORB is an absorbent material with a unique versatility superior to any of the traditional absorbents available on the market today. 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. 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:

1. Less absorbent is required.
2. Lower weight and volume saves on shipping.
3. 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.

Environmental

SPHAG SORB is produced to specific standards that achieve the highest absorption of liquids while generating the least amount of waste. SPHAG SORB is natural, organic, non-toxic, non-leaching, safe and easy to use. The fibrous structure of our product and the fact that the capillaries contain air and moisture reduces the tendency for soil compaction. This allows air, water and heat to penetrate into the ground speeding up the remediation process. Peat Moss is commonly added to soil as an enhancer in flower and vegetable gardens around the world everyday and is 100% environmentally friendly and a renewable resource.

(SPHAG SORB is a Cost saving, Versatile, Effective, Easy to use, and Environmentally responsible absorbent).

Features & Benefits:

  • Natural – Benefit Safe for Humans, Animals, Plants and the Environment.
  • Non-Toxic – Benefit No associated Health & Safety issues or environmental issues in use or disposal.
  • Organic – Benefit Use to improve soil conduitions (A RENEWABLE RESOURCE).
  • Biodegradable – Benefit land filling Hazardous and nonhazardous waste. (Landfill friendly No long term environmental effect).
  • Flammability – Benefit SPHAG SORB does not ignite instantly when exposed to heat or flame, in fact it is difficult to establish a smolder.
  • Versatile – Benefit 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 – Benefit No specialized training or equipment, just open and apply. (Reduces labor and equipment expense).
  • Lightweight – Benefit Absorbs 4 tiems its own weight. (Less physical strain in handling and lower shipping and disposal cost).
  • Super-absorbent – Benefit 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 – Benefit Quicker absorption means less spill spread and less penetration resulting in lower clean up cost.
  • Non-Leaching – Benefit Holds onto the absorbed liquid, therefore less dripping mess in clean up. (Very important in controlling the liquid on site cleanup, during transportation and in landfills).
  • Vapor Suppressive – Benefit Reduces flammable vapors by 90%. (Lowers explosion and odor risks).
  • Microbe Enhanced – Benefit 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-enzymes to hasten the remediation process.
  • Optimal Remediation Environment – Benefit 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 Resource – Benefit 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.
