How it works
The key action is in the unique drying process that it undergoes.
The drying process releases the natural waxes found within the peat and converts it to a hydrophobic or water-resistant state. The cellular structure of the peat is then able to draw in any hydrocarbon-based spill such as oil, diesel, hydraulic fluid, alcohol and paint on contact while repelling water.
Enviropeat™ can then be spread on the spill and will naturally start to absorb the contaminant. Once the hydrocarbon is encapsulated, it will not leach.
Enviropeat™ is also an effective vapour suppressant and absorbent of hydrocarbons on land and water, in wet and dry conditions making it ideal to treat free flowing hydrocarbons even in extreme flooding.
How to dispose of spent Enviropeat™
Enviropeat™ can be disposed of in several ways, including:
Landfill – due to the fact that Enviropeat™ does not leach, spent Enviropeat™ can be disposed of in landfills, where local regulations permit. We advise that you contact your local authorities for advice and instruction.
Environmentally Friendly
Peat moss is 100% organic
Efficient Absorbent
Peat quickly absorbs contaminants on land or water, virtually leaving no residues
Chemical Free
It is natural and contains
no harmful chemicals
It Doesn't Leach
It will not leach the absorbed contaminant back into the environment
