ANFE-SORB (AS), absorbent is manufactured from the dry stalk of a unique plant, an annual agricultural crop. It is a member of the hibiscus family (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), is related to cotton, hemp, and okra. The stalk of the plant is comprised of two fiber types. About one-third of the stalk’s dry weight is bark fiber known as bast. The remaining fiber is the white inner core. Refined bast fibers, similar to softwood fibers, are used to make writing paper, cigarette paper, filtration paper, and, with the addition of polypropylene, a fiberglass- like product. The refined core fibers, similar to hardwood tree fibers, are used to make a range of paper products including composite panels, animal bedding, potting media, and oil absorbent materials. The plant grows quickly, often reaching 12-14 feet in as little as about five months. The plant is collected into loose bales or “modules” and usually stored outside, open to the elements until processing. The plant absorbent products are intended for oil spills on land, water, or hard surfaces such as floors. No chemicals or biological organisms are added during or after processing.
However, there are Indigenous MICROBES in the plant that feed on HYDROCARBONS and harmful CARCINOGENS ONLY that promote bioremediation. Also a white rot fungus is added to further enhance the bioremediation properties. The Microbes in ANFE-SORB are GOOD microbes. There are 13 known microbes in AS and they are all produced from all natural materials and is 100 % biodegradable. These are single- celled living things that occur naturally. They help clean up pollution faster, cheaper and better than any other way. We also have the ability to increase the number of good microbes in AS to accelerate the bioremediation process for up to 200 to 300 %. No chemicals are added in AS therefore there are no possible harmful microbes produced by it. They are Live Hungry Microbes that only eats harmful Hydrocarbons and Carcinogens pollutants in water and land. It is non-Toxic and can never produce any adverse effect on humans, animals and the environment. Once applied directly onto the pollutants, it attacks and kills the hydrocarbons and eats them until all the pollutants are gone. Once the carcinogens and hydrocarbons are eaten, the pollution is gone, any leftover residue is rendered harmless and all of its harmful qualities are gone and the Microbes die because there are no more pollutants to kill and consume. |
