Biomicrogel® BMG-P2 flocculants separate even the most resistant (stable) oil-in-water emulsions, effectively catching any mineral and vegetable oils, animal fats, and oil and petroleum products in water effectively, based on a sweep-coagulation process. After the separation of the oil-water mixture both the treated water and removed petroleum products can be returned to the process cycle and re-used. Biomicrogel® BMG-P2 flocculants are highly compatible with almost all flocculants based on inorganic salts of polyvalent metals that are used cleaning water from suspended particles.

The sorbent activity of Biomicrogel® BMG-P1 is based on the same concept. Upon contact with any lubricants, oil, or petroleum products in saline water, it immediately forms a submicron polymer film at the oil–water interface, forming microcapsules with these pollutants contained inside. After that the microcapsules merge with each other turning the source petroleum product into a viscous jelly which is much easier to collect from the water surface. In this form the petroleum products do not spread out over long distances (the oil spill area can be reduced by up to 50 times), it does not stick to other surfaces (plants, birds, fishes, mammals, equipment, rocks etc.), and doesn’t catch fire or promote burning. Afterwards, the petroleum products can be returned to the process cycle after their removal.

Biomicrogel® BMG-C2 flocculants for the treatment of water are high-molecular polymer compounds acting as molecular links designed for merging the smaller particles of pollutants into bigger and sustainable floccules (agglomerates), which easily settle/float upwards and are easily phyiscally separated from the water. Biomicrogel® BMG-C2 flocculants are highly compatible with almost all flocculants based on inorganic salts of polyvalent metals. You can see how it works in the diagram.
