Case History

GRAFYSORBER® barriers and pillows 

GRAFYSORBER® absorbing barriers and pillows have been used as a fixed defense barrier on a stream contaminated by hydrocarbons leaked for accidents or break-ins.
They performed up to 16 times better than traditional polypropylene based product.

Grafysorber®️ oil absorbent products have been tested in the North Sea by anti-pollution companies, active in the oil & gas sector, with extremely positive results. The strengths are the lightness, and therefore the simplicity in handling, the effectiveness of absorption and the reduction of the amount of plastic used.

Tier 2 Oil Spill Response Exercise with PDO Oman

Several liters of crude oil were poured in confined sea water and quickly removed using few GRAFYSORBER® barriers and pillows.

Operator with GRAFYSORBER® barriers

During an ordinary remediation activity, the operator is deploying two adsorbing barriers to contain the oil spill and preserve the water, close to the electrical power plant. The two barriers are easy to handle thanks to their lower weight compared to the traditional ones.
