Boca Raton Man Says Product Can Clean Oil Spill
Man Says Oil Absorbing Product Is Safe, Turns To Dirt
A Boca Raton man claims his oil absorbing product is exactly what's needed to clean up the Gulf oil spill.
Frank Pajaujis said the powder, made of sugar cane fibers, repel water and absorb oil. Pajaujis said there's also a secret ingredient: microbes that actually eat the oil.
Not only is his product safe for fish and water, Pajaujis said, but within 15 minutes, it begins turning into dirt.
"Microbes are like multiple Pac Men chomping away at the oil, consuming the oil, and the byproduct is humic material, which is dirt," Pajaujis said.
Pajaujis said the compound is perfect for the Gulf oil spill because after the microbes eat the oil and turn it into dirt, it starts degrading within nine weeks. That means it could be used on fragile wetlands, so nobody would have to skim the product away after it absorbs the oil.
Pajaujis said he has sold the product to a gas company in Dubai, Eskimos and golf courses. Now, he is trying to get the attention of officials dealing with the Gulf oil spill.
"We have already sent all the information to local government and BP on their website … and we're waiting," he said. |
