Oil Spill Eater II

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Oil Spill Eater II is a

crude oil and other organic substances to rapidly decompose, eventually biodegrading them to carbon dioxide and water.[1]

Introduction

Oil Spill Eater II is a bioremediation process for the mitigation of hazardous waste, spills and contamination. It uses bioremediation processes that eliminate hazardous materials.[2] It is a biological enzyme that converts the oil spills into a natural food source for the native bacteria found in the environment. The result of this process is the enzyme eater. The enzyme permanently eliminates the hazardous waste problem, with no secondary clean-up required.[2]

How It Works

Oil Spill Eater II contains biosurfactants, nutrients, and other constituents for complete life cycles and biodegradation. When Oil Spill Eater II is added to a spill, the process generally takes several minutes, depending on how heavy the damage is.[3] As the biosurfactants do their job, the enzymes attach themselves to broken-down hydrocarbon structures, forming digestive binding sites.[citation needed]

Results

  • The toxicity of the spill is rapidly diminished.
  • The odour or smell is significantly reduced.
  • The oil or spill will no longer adhere.
  • The spill is caused to float.

Oil Spill Eater II spreads the oil onto the water's surface, lessening its influence on the subsurface. It starts to prevent secondary contamination of the water column or tertiary contamination on the body of water associated with the spill area.[4]

Economy

The system can reduce the costs of spill cleanup substantially.[5]

Health factors

The product is non-toxic to humans, animals, plants, and marine life. It contains no known allergens to cause skin, respiratory or other allergic reactions.[6] It contains no corrosive chemicals or metal trace elements, which will not damage any electrical insulation or painted surfaces. [5]
