1. Recover-Reduce-Recycle
Recoverit
The World’s First Truely Environmentally Friendly Solution for Oil and Hydrocarbon Pollution
Recover-Reduce-Recycle

2. What is Recoverit
Recoverit comes as white or speckled granule that can ADSORB all types of oils/hydrocarbons be they Mineral, Vegetable, Animal or Synthetic
Is Hydrophobic and Oliphilic
Becomes a glutinous gel when attached to oil
Can be used on Water, Sand and Soil or in the Atmosphere.-see diagrams
Adsorbs up to 10 times it’s own weight
I Kilo of Recoverit can pick up between 100 to 600 litres of oil through re-use
Additionally picks up VOCs,H2SO4,H2S
Only absorbs 0.1% water

3. Recoverit and Recycling
Separates very easily from collected oils
Separates oil/water in emulsified state
Recoverit can be reused many times by specific equipment developed for Recoverit’s unique continuous processes.
Recoverit is environmentally friendly and reduces or completely eliminates secondary pollution by redeeming hydrocarbons from the process and eliminating need for landfill
Recovered hydrocarbons can be easily transformed into bio-diesel
Spent Recoverit may be recycled into hot mix bitumen

4. Recoverit in The Environment
Is Non-Toxic, Non-Hazardous and Non-Flammable
Reduces impact of oil spill on wild life as completely harmless to marine life, birds and humans
Work “in situ “at sea
Work “in situ” on beaches
Eliminates need for detergents/dispersants

5. Recoverit at Sea
Keeps collected oil afloat indefinitely allowing time for orderly pick-up
Product can be “coloured” for easy spotting of oil spill by aircraft
Works on all types of oil
Works even in bad/rough weather
Can refloat oil from sea bed
Can maintain buoyancy of damaged vessel by pumping into hull

6. Recoverit-Application
Small Spills-Simply apply by hand-completely safe
Medium Spills-Can be air blown onto the surface or underneath the water, natural buoyancy will collect and float
Large Spills-Can be dropped from air in large quantities where wave action helps mix and adsorb

7. Recoverit on Land
Eliminates need for long wait from use of microbes and vapour release
Removes need for transportation of contaminated sand or soil as can work continuously on site.
By cleaning quickly, efficiently and in “situ” can add considerable value to real estate
Combination of soil cleaning and air filters can be used to clean up contaminated sights in crowded environments such as old petrol stations in city areas
Emergency spill kits for highways, service stations, power plants and telecommunication relay stations

8. Recoverit in Air
Can extract fumes very easily from confined spaces such wings of aircraft
Filter hydrocarbons from funnels, motorway tunnels, storage silos
Extract fumes from spray booths and printing establishments
Cleaning of industrial premises
Extract fumes from tankers
Filters in air conditioning vents,
Filters in vents of storage silos for hydrocarbons

9. Recoverit Inland
Recoverit can remove hydrocarbons in water treatment plants
Efficiently clean lakes and rivers especially when water/oil emulsified.
Remove hydrocarbons from bore/ground water

10. Existing Methods for Cleaning Oil Spills and Contaminated Land
Detergents, Straw,Sawdust,Absorbent Pads, Kitty Litter, Polymers
Single Use
Carcinogenic
Doesn’t float on water
Soaks up water as well as oil
Dispersants just hide the problem
You then have to dispose of the oil and the product you used in cleaning the spill through landfill or incineration
