oil spill clean-up polymer

oil spill clean-up polymer
A new form of hydrocarbon stabilization polymer technology. The polymer is called Enviro-bond 403. It is specially formulated to bond quickly and safely to many types of liquid hydrocarbons including, crude oil, diesel fuel, and gasoline. The bonding is so complete that it literally encapsulates the liquid hydrocarbons in just minutes. The hydrophobic or water fearing polymer cause it to float on the water, so cranes can be used to remove the floating island of polymer/oil mixture. On a large scale crude oil clean up, the solidified oil can be recovered and turned into a solid fuel source. BTU or energy values have been established for this polymer/crude oil mixture. In other words you can burn the polymer/oil mixture as a fuel with no additional pollutants to the environment.
