Oil Absorbents -
Zeolite granules can be used as oil absorbents.
Since the granules are white, they can be easily
seen when used to make dikes, barriers, or floor
coverage around machinery and on shop floors. A
safety Absorbent used by mechanics and machine shops
for years. Available in bags or buckets at many
different grade levels. |
|
Spill Kits -
Kits
contain the essential components required to clean
up a hazardous spill. Kits vary in size as well as
contents. Polyethylene drum can be used for chemical
and water resistant type of spills. These drums can
be stored outside. Drums can be UN-specified for
Shipping /disposing of used sorbent. Kits consist
of socks, booms, labels and instruction manual. |
|
Sorbents
are also available in a loose form, which can
actually be sprinkled on spill. Primary loose
sorbent is usually made from cellulose, peat moss,
granular mineral, corncob or asimil type product.
Oil only loose sorbents are great for picking up
hydrocarbons. Universal sorbents are great for
picking up antifreeze. It is best to determine the
kinds of liquids you are using, so you can fit the
loose sorbent to the type of spill. These are very
useful in high maintenance areas. |
|
Terminology Many
different types of sorbants are available. The term
"absorbent" has been used to described most of these
products. However, products are available as
absorbents and adsorbent. Sorbent: material used to
recover oil and oil-like liquids through the
mechanism of absorption or adsorption or both. |
|
Pillows -
Pillows, similar to pads, are also designed to
absorb spills. These may contain peat moss,
cellulose, polypropylene or other absorbent type
materials. They are usually thicker than pads, thus
usually capable of absorbing more liquids. |
|
Socks - Universal,
oil aggressive, cellulose, com cob, peat moss or
polypropylene socks are available in various sizes,
usually 3"x4'. Other sizes are often used depending
on the applications. They work very well on
containing spills around, machinery, or to quickly
contain an aggressively moving spill. In addition,
socks are also available in oil only forms as well
when you don’t want to absorb water. This is an
excellent choice for outdoor use, where rain or
running water might over saturate a sock. |
|
Booms - Booms
are very similar to socks, but are usually much
larger. They are mostly used in open water clean-up
applications, such as oceans, lakes and rivers. They
contain stringing apparatus for use behind a boat.
Booms are almost always oil only. A usual size and
length is 8" x 10'. If they are any longer, they
become almost impossible to remove from the water
easily. |
