Cellusorb is an oil/fuel absorbent for use on water. It is produced from recycled waste cellulose materials and is 100% biodegradable

Cellusorb is highly oleophilic and will readily attach itself to all forms of hydrocarbons whether in their original state or partially emulsified or dissolved. It will absorb up to eighteen times its own weight in oil based products.


APPLICATION

Cellusorb can be used in harbours, docks, wharves, marinas, refuelling depots, beaches, bird sanctuaries, reefs and mangrove areas or wherever a spill might occur or wash ashore.

Cellusorb may be used on its own or in the form of booms, pillows or absorbent mats. It can be spread over the sides of vessels, used in high pressure blowers or deployed from low flying aircraft.

Wind and wave action assists the absorbents ability to wick up hydrocarbons and unlike most absorbents, Cellusorb will absorb trace amounts of oil and eliminate sheen.

Cellusorb can be retrieved by skimming or the use of a net. The used material should be disposed of in accordance with local legislation.

If a spill has been washed ashore it is recommended that Enretech-1 be spread over the surface of any rocks or sand that are oil covered.
