Dyna-Aqua Oil Sorb™ (DA Oil
Sorb™ ) was developed for the removal of crude oil from the Gulf
of Mexico or sea water by combining the two most powerful
mechanisms for capturing the greatest amount of oil from surface
water - DAI Dyna-Aqua high adsorbent specialized alumina, and
Hobbs Bonded Fibers' specialized cotton.
By impregnating cotton with specialized alumina, DA
Oil Sorb™ is able to bind up to 3 gallons (+/- 0.2 gal) of oil for every
pound of alumina treated cotton as tested using ASTM methods, exceeding
any other method in the marketplace. Through the adsorbent properties of
alumina, volatile organic compounds such as fumes and toxins can be removed before they make
workers sick.
-
Works through the combination of absorption
(cotton) and adsorption (alumina). The cotton product is used as
endorsed by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological
Engineers and researched by agricultural engineer and ASABE Fellow
Wm. Stanley Anthony at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
-
DA Oil Sorb™ alumina is manufactured in the USA to be
environmentally safe.
-
Removes volatile organic compounds that can make
workers sick.
-
Product dimensions: 6 mm thick. Currently
available in roll widths of 6, 9 and 12 feet, and 150 ft. length,
-
Approximately 70% of the oil can be removed from
the cotton and the cotton can be reused.
