CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY TEST

What is a super absorber? That is any product that can absorb liquids and hold them in excess of 15 times its own weight. ENVIRO-BOND ™ 300 is truly a super absorber, since it can absorb aqueous liquids up to 300 times its weight. Once the liquid is absorbed, it cannot be pressed out. ENVIRO-BOND ™ is also environmentally safe. None of its components require listing with EPA. ENVIRO-BOND ™ 300 / Stabilization
This reserve pit was built just ½ its usual size because the drilling was done using ENVIRO-BOND ™ 100 super flocculent. The drilling pit contains 6,700 feet of hole, and the solids generated were 50% average by volume. The absorbing polymers were placed to form a seal, absorb, and bond with any water that would otherwise leak from the generated waste solids. ENVIRO-BOND ™ polymer can also be mixed with the drill solids.	Within one month after the pit was stabilized and covered, a lease road was constructed completely over the top of the reserve pit. Only 950 pounds of ENVIRO-BOND ™ super absorbing polymer was used to perform the very difficult task. The total result was a much reduced volume, and stabilized with an environmentally safe, long lasting material. As you can see, volumes have decreased and stabilization was achieved without increasing the volume.
When you plan your next well and address your solids management plan, we would like you to consider the ENVIRO-BOND ™ products. ENVIRO-BOND ™ 100 Series and ENVIRO-BOND ™ 300 Series polymers, coupled together, make a good team.

ENVIRO-BOND ^™ 300 (AQUEOUS SOLUTION) SERIES POLYMERS
 

1. The ENVIRO-BOND ^™ 300 Series of Aqueous Solution polymers encapsulate aqueous solutions such as water, acids, caustics, bases, bodily fluids and water soluble hydrocarbons such as engine coolant (glycol) and methanol.
2. Encapsulation, stabilization, immobilization and solidification begin immediately upon contact between the polymer and the aqueous solution - fast acting and safe.
3. Little or no mixing is required - simple application of the polymer to the surface of the spill is usually adequate with the polymers having a typical absorption rate of up to 300 times their own weight in neutral water.
4. ENVIRO-BOND ^™ polymers have the ability to solidify and stabilize hazardous liquids, with very small amounts of polymer and render them effectively and cost efficiently safe for disposal.
5. The polymers will absorb heavy metals and other dissolved solids that may be in liquid.
6. The polymers have an indefinite shelf life and have a microbiological half life in excess of 400 years.
7. The polymers will not absorb any free hydrocarbons, but, will absorb virtually all hydrocarbons that are dissolved in a water phase.
8. The polymers are heavier than water and will sink to absorb from the bottom up.
9. While not soluble in any solution, the polymers will absorb any solution containing water.
10. The absorbed liquid/s will not release as a liquid, but, will only release the water portion of the absorbed liquid at various rates of evaporation based upon ambient temperature and humidity.
11. This reduction of generated mass through evaporation yields a tremendous reduction in the amount of waste to be disposed of, resulting in a significant reduction of disposal costs.
12. The polymers are extremely effective in mixing with all types of sludge's for the stabilization of liquids contained within the sludge.
13. The aqueous polymers will not coat out or become ineffective in the presence of hydrocarbons and will break oil and water emulsions by absorbing the water phase and leaving the hydrocarbons free.
14. ENVIRO-BOND ^™ 300 Series polymers are available in both Anionic and Cationic formulations, each having a different capacity for absorption of either acids or base liquids.  The Anionic is recommended for use with high pH solutions and the Cationic is recommended for use with low pH solutions, however, either the A or C 300 polymers will work effectively with either high or low pH solutions if immediate time constraints are not a consideration.
15. The Cationic polymers will absorb concentrated acids without any violent heat of reaction and with only a small amount of off-gassing.  This renders the mass stable from ion exchange and safe for handling.  The same is true of the Anionic polymers with base liquids.
16. Polymer particle sizes can be provided in either coarse grain for large spills or fine grain for small spills with a particle range from 0.5mm to 1mm being the standard shipment size.
17. Liquid capacity of the 300 polymers is based on fresh water loading and ratios may vary based on waste product chemistry.
