Due to an increasing world demand to create a sustainable environment, Operative Recovery Solutions has been developing an innovative, environmentally-friendly solution for recovering oil from spills. Not only does this ground-breaking technology, named ORS-SORB®, remove the oil from contaminated water, but the oil is recovered and can be reused and the by-product can be used as fertilizer. ORS-SORB® comes in the form of a powder, solid block, pillow, special collectors, and barrier containers. It works via capillary action, collecting liquids less dense than water, such as: oils, gasolines, solvents, organic acids, others). Applied to the surface of the water, ORS-SORB® absorbs the target liquid until it is fully saturated. ORS-SORB® is then simply removed, skimmed, or filtered from the water source. The absorption capacity of the product is 1 liter of product (56 g) can absorb 0.9 liters of spilled liquid. ORS-SORB® is completely recyclable and suitable for all oils and liquids. The production process for this product does not produce any hazardous waste and the recovered oil can be compressed from the absorbent (99%) for reuse. The remaining waste can be recycled after a simple bacterial treatment and can be used as an efficient fertilizer (26% nitrogen). Further, ORS-SORB® is biodegradable, non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-leaking. ORS-SORB® has been implemented, tested, and certified worldwide. ORS-SORB® was used in Ogoni, Nigeria by the Ministry of Environment to cleanup a site at Yorla Oil Field with excellent results. The ORS-SORB® is distributed in the US.
