Compared to other clean-up technologies such as Compared to other clean-up technologies such as incineration and burial of sludge in secure landfills; incineration and burial of sludge in secure landfills; SupaZorb offers a much cheaper way of dealing with an oil SupaZorb offers a much cheaper way of dealing with an oil spill. SupaZorb is also a very affordable technology, which spill. SupaZorb is also a very affordable technology, which means that it can be used for almost any kind of situation means that it can be used for almost any kind of situation where an affordable and effective bioremediative solution where an affordable and effective bioremediative solution is necessary. This will, in turn, lead to a much cleaner is necessary. This will, in turn, lead to a much cleaner environment for us all. environment for us all.

What is Bio DegradationWhat is Bio Degradation

Biodegradation is a process by which a Biodegradation is a process by which a potentially toxic compound is transformed potentially toxic compound is transformed into a non-toxic one by metabolic activities of into a non-toxic one by metabolic activities of microorganisms that are capable of utilizing microorganisms that are capable of utilizing the pollutant as their source of carbon and the pollutant as their source of carbon and energy. What this means, is that the energy. What this means, is that the microorganisms within SupaZorb recognise microorganisms within SupaZorb recognise waste products as a potential food source waste products as a potential food source and are attracted to them. If left alone these and are attracted to them. If left alone these microorganisms will consume the waste microorganisms will consume the waste products until all that it left is compost. products until all that it left is compost.
