Biomicrogels Group presented their OSRP solutions at the CLEAN GULF Conference & Exhibition in the USA
The team of the Biomicrogel Group presented at the exhibition a unique solution capable of containment of emergency oil spills. Encapsulation of oil and petroleum products with their subsequent separation from water, soil and other surfaces is the main concept and application of the Biomicrogel® technology. Laboratory and field tests indicated: Biomicrogel® change the oil viscosity by more than 100 000 times upon contact with oil, turning it into a jelly. In this form the oil doesn’t spread over surface, doesn’t stick to birds, animals and shoreline, and is easily collectable from water surface by means of floating garbage collecting equipment or skimmers, and it is also reusable after recovery. In addition, the products of the Biomicrogel Group are made of natural raw materials completely, they are 100% biodegradable and completely safe for human beings and environment, unlike a few other synthetic equivalents.
Biomicrogel® BMG-P1 Sorbent was a real highlight. The majors of the market producing equipment and turn-key oil spill response solutions confirmed absolute novelty and huge potential for application of the product. The same is confirmed by drafting an Agreement about Cooperation in testing both at pilot installations and in real field conditions using the relevant equipment for application of our product over oil slicks. The Coast Guard Officers and representatives of the bodies licensing the safety of applicable technologies and agents in OSRP kept environmental safety of our products in special focus.
