Oily Water Treatment with Chemicals

Oil Solidifier - Oil Gelling Agent

Comparative Study Between Oil Solidifier, Absorbent & Dispersant

What is Oil Solidifier?

Function:

• Solidifies only oil and organics by chemical reaction.

• If oil is solidified, it never leaks out again.

• Solidified oil float on the water absolutely, never sink!
   

Efficiency:

• Solidify oils even ten-fold of its own weight.

• After scattering, solidification is completed within a few minutes.

• Excellent gel hardness, easy to collect solidities.
   

Safety:

• Passed the test for harmful influence on living organism.

• Secondary pollution is not found in ecosystem.

• Solidities can be recycled completely.

Advantages of Oil Solidifier:

• Excellent performance of oil spill response on the sea.

• When oil spill accident happens, the solidifier have more effect on oil spill at beginning.

• Using portable spreader makes possible extensive oil spill response.

• Quick solidification.

• Effective collecting with strong gel hardness.

• Low response cost / Less product required to response.

• Reuse and recycle of waste-solidities.

• Prevention of oil spreading, as solidified spilt oil look like "carpet".

• Non toxicity, Non secondary pollution to ecosystem.

Various Usages of Oil Solidifier:

 

Oil Spill:

• Preparation for emergency from the oil spill accident.

• Response on oil spill at the initial incident on the river and lake.

• Interception of oil which flow out of factory.

Oil Tank:

• Preparation for emergency on the leaking oil tank.

• Clean-up a waste oil in oil facilities.

• Removal of thin oil film in oil-water separator.

Oil Pollution:

• Protection of dissolving asphalt through vehicle's accident on paved road.

• Removal of machine oil on the floor of workshop.

• Response of soil pollution which is caused by oil spill.

Disadvantage of Conventional Oil Absorbent:

 

Labor-intensive:

• It should throw and collect one piece with worker's hands.

• Oil spill response by absorbents take too much time and costs.

Low-efficiency:

• The amount of absorbed spilt oil is less than 50% of its own weight.

• After being absorbed with excess oil, some of oil immediately leaks
  out again.

Secondary pollution

• It keeps in contact with water, then absorbent sink and induces ecocide.

• It cause air pollution by incineration of waste absorbent.

  ---

Harmful Effect by Oil Dispersant:

 

Insufficient Capacities:

• The amount of eliminated spilt oil is less than 50% of its own volume.

• Elimination capacity for heavy oil is under 5%.

Serious Secondary Pollutions:

• Toxicity and non-biodegradable.

• After oil spill response, dispersants cause secondary pollution.

• Dispersant sink with heavy oil and cause a serious seafloor ecocide.

• A use within 20m in depth of water causes serious damage to ecosystem
