Biomicrogel® Sorbent BMG-P1 is an environmentally safe sorbent of natural polysaccharides, capsulating oils, and petroleum products, which enables its easy separation from water.
Upon contact with any lubricants, oil, or petroleum products in saline water, it immediately forms a submicron polymer film at the oil–water interface, forming microcapsules with these pollutants contained inside. After that the microcapsules merge with each other turning the source petroleum product into a viscous jelly which is much easier to collect from the water surface.

In this form the petroleum products do not spread out over long distances (the oil spill area can be reduced by up to 50 times), it does not stick to other surfaces (plants, birds, fishes, mammals, equipment, rocks etc.), and doesn’t catch fire or promote burning. Afterwards, the petroleum products can be returned to the process cycle after their removal.

Biomicrogel® Sorbent BMG-P1 is applied to the water’s surface by means of spraying equipment. After that, the jellified pollutants are removed from the water’s surface by any means available (fine-meshed screen, netted spade, dust pans, etc.)
