UltraTech 5234 Ultra-Archaea Mini Boom, 6″ x 4″ x 1″ , Pack of 6

Floating booms keep microbes on the water’s surface. Specially-treated polyethylene foam used in Ultra- Archaea® Booms allows it to float on the water’s surface while also absorbing oil. Microbe tablets (6) are inserted into slits in the foam sleeves. Ultra-Archaea® microbes are 100% natural, hardy and fast-acting microbes that have an affinity for oil and other hydrocarbons, as well as organic waste. This specific consortium of microbes has not been genetically altered or engineered. These naturally occurring microbes have been on the EPA National Contingency List since its inception. Extended water contact causes the tablets to slowly dissolve, releasing the Microbes into the water. Booms can be dropped in or tied off in catch basins (lanyards included), oil/ water separators or other areas where oily water can collect. Microbes are not just for oil spills. Some other known applications are: Waste Water Treatment Plants such as refineries, pulp mills, chemical plants, steel mills, textile plants along with municipal collection systems and food processing. Plumbing Maintenance for sinks and grease traps, spill control, septic tanks, odor control, bioremediation of soil, water and stormwater, eliminating ammonia, stormwater in Agriculture/Aquaculture and oil/water separators, containment sumps and lagoons are other known applications. This is an EcoSmart product. Made in the USA.
