What happens when the filter medium has absorbed as many contaminants as possible?
The used XSORB®, technically classified as “Hazardous Petroleum Waste Solid,” is removed from the filter and placed in an approved container for transportation. The used filter medium must be disposed of in accordance with Federal, State and Local laws for petroleum waste. REM Inc. participates in a recycling program that separates and recycles the oil and absorbent media, lessening customer liability and decreasing landfill use while doing the most to protect the environment.
