It utilises specific strains of microorganisms as conventional techniques and skimming to contain oil spills turn ineffective in the extreme Artic environment.
These biologicals are not produced using any harmful substances and they do not release any toxic compounds in air or water. Accordingly, the technology can be used to treat contaminated areas in the Arctic and the Atlantic Oceans.
The company also noted that the development underpins the use of special biologicals for marine, fresh and mesohalobiotic environments.
Besides controlling contamination, the new technology is expected to reduce the hazardous impact of oil spills on marine life and birds minimising the risk of greasing of integuments.
