Spill Absorbent

Zeolite has many uses in the oilfield industry as an encapsulation/stabilizationagent for a variety of contaminants. One of the predominant features are its TCLP1311 Leachate Analysis results. TCLP1311 analysis is a major parameter that landfills utilizeto determine the leaching potential of any stabilizing/encapsulator product. Specifically, once hydrocarbons are mixed with zeolite, the resulting mixture is instantaneously non-hazardous and can be disposed of as a non-hazardous waste in oilfield operations.

Unlike clay absorbents, which consist of plate type structures, zeolites' crystallattice form a honeycomb structure resulting in a large and reactive surface area.This matrix traps hydrocarbons and waste molecules through molecular sieving capability,allowing selective separation, absorption and immobilization. Another unique featureis that zeolite does not swell as in the case with clay. Zeolite does not lose its structural integrity (as clay absorbs, their plates swell and become soft and muddy).The honeycomb structure of zeolite absorbs at a greater rate yet stays firm and stable. If you walk on it, the integrity is the same as when it comes out of the bag whereas clay absorbent will become soft.

The zeolite structure provides high absorption without losing its structuralintegrity. Customers can easily sweep up the product after absorption, due to the fact it does not become soft. Zeolite has a similar look and feel as sand - however with major differences. Unlike sand, zeolite has incredible porosity (a teaspoon of zeolite has a similar surface area as a football field).

Directions 1. Open bag and apply over spill. 2. Leave on the spill until it is absorbed. 3. Dispose according to local regulations
