Ecosorb International manufactures spill control products, industrial absorbents and environmental remediation absorbents from recycled cellulose. The lightweight and highly absorbent K-Sorb product line is used for oil spill cleanup, sludge stabilization, and liquid waste solidification prior to transportation and disposal.
Ecosorb International helps wastewater treatment facilities dewater sludge faster and with up to 40 percent less discharge to the environment. By conditioning sludge with EcoFiber, plants maximize the performance of dewatering devices (particularly belt filter presses) thereby reducing the weight/volume of the filter cake, improving its quality, and significantly reducing disposal costs
Ecosorb International manufactures EcoFiber from recycled waste fiber (over 98 percent by weight) that otherwise would contribute to the growing demand on a limited supply of landfill space. Environmental conservation is exponentially compounded as EcoFiber is used to condition wastewater sludge for maximum dewater ability, in effect, reducing the amount of waste discharged to the environment by up to 40 percent.
A highly absorbent cellulose product used to absorb and control liquid spills in industrial settings. It is manufactured from recycled cellulose fiber and is non-selective (Eco ) in what it absorbs. It is a non-carcinogenic, low dust alternative to clay, vermiculite, and d. e. Ideally suited for spill cleanup on land, K-Sorb Eco Particulate can absorb 3 to 5 times its weight in liquid spills, making it over 400% more absorbent than clay. A 10 gallon spill would require one 22 lb. bag of K-Sorb, or 88 lbs. of clay. Lightweight and highly absorbent, K-Sorb Eco Particulate is an excellent choice for solidifying liquids and stabilizing sludge. Its use can reduce inbound transportation costs and material handling by 75% versus clay, while reducing hauling and disposal cost 40%. It has high btu value (8,484 btu/lb) and qualifies under RCRA for cost effective and permanent disposal as fuel through incineration. Inorganic absorbents such as clay, fly ash, vermiculite, and d. e. do not, making their disposal means more limited and costly. K-Sorb Eco Particulate is available in 10 lb. bags.

A highly absorbent cellulose product used to solidify liquid waste and stabilize sludge for transportation and disposal on remediation projects such as tank cleanouts, lagoon dredging, and pond closures. This specialty fiber is ideal for absorbing free liquid in roll-off boxes and can be disposed of as a solid waste. EcoFiber also satisfies EPA test requirements (i.e., paint filter and TCLP tests) for waste prior to disposal. EcoFiber can absorb an amazing 13 to 17 times its weight in water and/or oil, meaning less clay, corn cobs, rice hulls, and lime kiln dust. Not only does EcoFiber reduce the amount of waste requiring disposal up to 46%, it is made from 98.5% recycled fiber that otherwise would go to a landfill. Furthermore, this product has 8,484 btu/lb and burns to less than 3% ash, making it ideal for incineration projects. Inorganic absorbents such as clay, fly ash, and lime kiln dust do not burn which limits disposal options to more costly methods. EcoFiber is available in 30 lb. and 40 lb. compressed bags measuring 18 inches x 22 inches x 12 inches.
A loose cellulose absorbent which is oleophilic (readily absorbs oil-based liquids) and is hydrophobic (resists water). It is used to absorb hydrocarbons, chemicals, oils, and greases on land and on open water. K-Sorb Hydrophobic Fiber is an excellent choice for solidifying chemical waste and stabilizing oil-based sludge prior to transportation and/or disposal. K-Sorb Hydrophobic Fiber effectively separates free oils from water and can be used to remove contaminants from shores, lakes, rivers, ports, marinas, lagoons, and ponds. It passes US EPA Paint Filter Test Method 9095A after absorbing 13 times its weight (1.8 gallons per lb) in oils, making it much more cost efficient than other cellulose absorbents, sphagnum peat moss, and polypropylene. K-Sorb Hydrophobic's high capillary wicking action instantly attracts hydrocarbons, locking them into its hollow fibers and allows for quick cleanup before the spill spreads. K-Sorb Hydrophobic fiber passes the TCLP and prevents the leaching problems associated with clay, d. e., and polypropylene. Once saturated with hydrocarbons it has absorbed, K-Sorb Hydrophobic's additional 9,809 btu/lb and low ash content make it an exceptional candidate for disposal as an alternative fuel source at cement kilns, fossil fuel plants, and traditional incinerators. This product is available in 30 lb. compressed bags measuring 18 inches x 22 inches x 12 inches.
A densified version of K-Sorb Hydrophobic Fiber. It has the same characteristics as the fiber, but it is pourable in nature and more resistant to windy conditions. K-Sorb Hydrophobic Particulate can absorb 4 times its weight (over half a gallon per pound) and is used for controlling and remediating CERCLA liquid hazardous waste on land and on open water. It is a cost effective alternative to Absorbent W, polypropylene, and peat moss. In addition, K-Sorb Hydrophobic particulate is used as a filter media to remove oils and greases from contaminated water sources. It is available in 22 lb. bags (approximate 1.5 CF) of loose particulate.
