SAFE FOR SANITARY LANDFILL
TM
IT CAN and IT HAS!
In May of 1994 a Brazilian land oil pipeline ruptured and dumped 2.7 million litres of oil into the environment. Within hours the oil found its way into the Atlantic Ocean and contaminated an exotic local beach, threatening the natural ecosystem and destroying local swimming and tourism. The area was declared an environmental disaster of enormous proportions.
Local authorities attempted mechacal cleanup, although a valiant effort – it proved to be futile. Peat Sorb’s Distributor demonstrated the efficacy of Peat Sorb. It was the obvious choice. Soon tons of Peat Sorb were applied to the shoreline. With two applications in just one day, the beach was virtually restored to its former state and after two weeks of sporadic applications to counter new contamination, the beach was opened, safely, to the public once again.
PEAT SORB’S BENEFITS & USES:
The speed with which petroleum products biodegrade is affected by many factors, including oxygen levels, moisture, temperature, acidity, nutrient content and the size and type of natural microbes present. Significant degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil has been documented in time periods of less than three months. Depending upon the nature of the petroleum product, more typical time periods for degradation are in the range of six to eighteen months. The hydrocarbons trapped inside Peat Sorb will biodegrade to Carbon Dioxide, Water and Oxygen. Peat Sorb breaks down last to become a fertilizer. Peat Sorb is light weight for easy handling and transportation. One 30 lb. bale of Peat Sorb will effectively do the same job as 10 bags of clay, resulting in significant savings in time, labour, remediation and storage costs.
Peat Sorb is non-abrasive. For abrasive wear to happen machinery must come in contact with another substance of equal or greater hardness. Peat Sorb, with a hardness of about 1 will not damage steel which has a hardness factor of 5. Clay, the most commonly used inorganic sorbent, has a hardness exceeding 6 and will damage metal parts and cause deterioration of rubber and plastic parts. Peat Sorb can be used around all machinery without damaging expensive equipment. Most petroleum products are extremely volatile. Effective spill response involves rapid limitation of exposure pathways to prevent skin contact, inhalation or ingestion. The vapour-suppressive and static-resistant qualities of Peat Sorb are significant safety features for spill response crews.

PEAT SORB OUR FIELD OF DREAMS
APPLICATION OF PEAT SORB ON LAND:
For a land spill, apply Peat Sorb around the perimeter of the spill. This will prevent the hydrocarbon from spreading further. If a hydrocarbon is present, Peat Sorb changes colour from light brown to black when it comes into contact with the spill. Apply Peat Sorb to the remainder of the spill until
it stops changing colour.
Peat Sorb is a highly efficient absorbent, you will require less Peat Sorb than any other product to clean up a spill. Peat Sorb is approximately ten times more efficient than clay based absorbents. One pound of Peat Sorb will absorb approximately 1 U.S. gallon or 4 litres of a hydrocarbon. Absorption rates depend on the viscosity of the hydrocarbon. If the spill occurs outside, apply the Peat Sorb upwind from the spill so that any breezes will aid with the application and the Peat Sorb
won’t blow back onto the applicator. Peat Sorb absorbs on contact.
APPLICATION OF PEAT SORB ON WATER:
Peat Sorb is hydrophobic and therefore it will float on water. Peat Sorb will float for several days before it starts to re-hydrate. However, the hydrocarbon absorbed will continue to be locked up inside the Peat Sorb and will not leach out. Peat Sorb is excellent for cleaning up ALL spills,especially along shorelines, for easy and fast removal with skimmers. It also protects natural environments. See our “Technical Training” video on our website.

Peat Sorb comes from environmentally managed and harvested peat bogs. Peat Sorb is a revolutionary hydrocarbon absorbent made from premium Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss. The high grade raw material we harvest is dehydrated through a unique proprietary heat process which gives it unparalleled absorption capabilities. Peat Sorb is not to be confused with Horticultural peat. Horticultural peat is full of water, and therefore it cannot absorb.
Peat moss is a renewable resource. There are 270,000,000 acres of peat in Canada -- of which only 40,000 acres are being harvested (that's 1 acre out of 6000 acres). That means that only 0.02% of the peat moss areas are being used.
Peat moss is growing at a rate 70 times faster than it is being harvested. At this rate of harvesting, our Canadian peat moss resources will not run out and will be able to provide valuable absorbent products for generations to come.
