ILIGAN CITY—A bio-based polyurethane foam has been successfully tested on its oil absorption in the oil spill in Mindoro and the head of the team from the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology said the technology would be refined further to absorbed the oil that has dried a bit on sea.
“We would be researching again on how this technology would be able to absorb the bigger-sized weathered oil,” Bacosa said. “The material has been proven to have high affinity and sorption capacity in bunker oil, fresh and used engine oil, kerosene and vegetable oils,” the DOST said. “It is hydrophobic in both fresh and salt water and has superior reusability as its oil sorption capacity does not diminish with use.”
The technology would require only a small bucket size to fit the storage and its other gadgets less than a one cubic meter, when it was tested. In commercial use, there would be several of this package, which would be placed alongside the oil spill boom. Bacosa said the technology “is still in its technology stage and is not commercialized yet.”
