up to 95%!
Place an oil absorbing biologically active Bio Tube in your oily
water separator and you have a workforce of millions on your side.
Each Bio Tube contains a blend of naturally occurring oil specific
bacteria that will digest their way through up to 2kg of oil a week
– every week.
• Environmentally Friendly
• Digests free surface oil releasing merely harmless CO2 and
Water.
• The biological solution that reduces oil discharges from
oily water separators by up to 95%.
• Maintenance free and helps reduce clean out costs
Application
For use in industrial separators, bunds and oily water run offs.
Simply place one Bio Tube in second chamber and 2 Bio Tubes
in third chamber. Replace every 6-8 months.
European Approvals
• Tested by the UK Environmental Agency, who concluded:
Bio Tubes digest up to 95% of diesel oil without
any harmful or toxic bi-products
• Tested by the Swiss Federal Laboratories on a 1:1 mix of lube
oil/diesel in water and found that:
Bio Tubes exceeded the Swiss oil degradation target of
30 days by 60%.
• Tested by a major European Forecourt chain and found that:
Bio Tubes reduce oil discharges from an average
of 500mg/Ltr to 19 mg/Ltr – a reduction of +95%.
