Bio-Matrix is used for environmental spill cleanup and remediation purposes by fire departments, industries, airports, railways, transportation companies, garages and service
stations, oil refineries and distribution facilities, oil wells and drilling rigs, and from marine vessels to harbors; the list is endless!
Bio-Matrix is used to filter industrial wastes, untreated effluents, heavy metals, algae, and polluted industry and mining remnant wastes.
For industrial and home use, Bio-Matrix absorbs PCB’s, oil based paints, inks and dyes, animal fats, vegetable oils and blood.
Due to its high vapor suppression capacity, Bio-Matrix is able to greatly reduce combustible vapors eliminating the chance of an explosion. In the case of gasoline, 90% vapor suppression is commonly achieved.
