Harena Lux - Ultra-lightweight adsorbent granular.
HarenaLux is an ultra lightweight, fine grade patent coated mineral with a granular size of approximately 1.0mm, capable of bonding all forms of hydrocarbon including fuels, oils and modified synthetics.
The fine grade of HarenaLux gives the adsorbent a very large surface area which aids the bonding process of hydrocarbons and ensuring a quick and efficient capture of contamination.
HarenaLux has a number of features which make it a suitable choice for a wide range of uses, especially wet or waterborne environments. These are as follows;
- Effective on all forms of hydrocarbon - from low viscosity silicon oils to high viscosity bitumen and crudes.
- Full hydrocarbon capture – HarenaLux is able to successfully bond hydrocarbons whether in free phase, emulsified or vapour form.
- Non-leaching capability – HarenaLux mechanically bonds the hydrocarbon molecule to itself preventing leaching either at the spill source or later at disposal.
- Fully hydrophobic – HarenaLux will actively repel water meaning only the hydrocarbon contaminate will be removed, thereby reducing disposal cost.
- Fire retardant – HarenaLux is able to capture the vapour element of high volatile fuels which significantly reduces the risk of combustion.
- Lightweight – HarenaLux is ultra lightweight granular that will consistently float on a water surface.
- Indefinite shelf life – HarenaLux is not degraded by moisture or wet environmental conditions.
Packaging options...
HarenaLux is available as 2 different packaging options.
4kg resealable lidded buckets
200kg sealed bulk bags
Adsorption (bonding) rates
A kilo of HarenaLux will bond approximately 2.5-3litres of neat hydrocarbon.
A 4kg bucket of HarenaLux will bond approximately 10-12litres of neat hydrocarbon.
A 200kg sealed bulk bag pallet will bond approximately 500-600litres of neat hydrocarbon.
Hydrocarbons are contained within the highly oleophilic coated media and are isolated from the immediate surrounding water environment. Captured hydrocarbons will remain fully isolated, enabling ongoing removal of contaminate from the environment.
HarenaLux isn't just used as a spillage granular. It has also been incorporated into other products of the Harena range. See Cushions, socks & spill kits and Filtration and Sumps.
