How does P.O.L. Sorb enhance the biodegradation of the hydrocarbons and petrochemicals?
P.O.L. Sorb encapsulates the hydrocarbons and entraps them into its cellular structure. After the hydrocarbon is encapsulated, the action of naturally occurring microorganisms enhance the natural breakdown of the hydrocarbons. The microbial activity will break the hydrocarbons down into carbon dioxide and water. This breakdown occurs within a period of three months to a year, depending on variables such as sunlight, oxygen, temperatures, etc.
