TEG, Thermally expanded graphite (TEG), a Nobel Prize-winning material developed as Graphene in 2010, stands as a remarkable and highly efficient sorbent with unique properties. Pioneering this technology, developers utilized TEG as a sorbent for oil spill cleanup, addressing water areas in rivers, lakes, and seas and challenging terrains like asphalt and sand. Distinguished as the sole technology of its kind globally, it enables the production of TEG through small, mobile units mounted on helicopters, boats, ships, car trailers, and other vehicles. With the capacity to collect an oil film from a water surface equivalent to a football stadium (0.2-0.3 hectares), 1 kg of TEG sorbent is exceptionally effective.

The recovered product, comprising 90-95% oil products, contributes to environmental preservation. Upon contact with the oil film, TEG binds and neutralizes it, rendering it harmless to flora and fauna while preventing coastal pollution. Standard methods efficiently collect the bound mass of oil and graphite quickly.

TEG installations, vital for the Ministry of Emergency Situations, seaports, refineries, oil storage facilities, pipelines, and onboard tankers, are adaptable to various production, processing, and transportation sites, with a significant demand for thousands of installations.

Plant productivity ranges from 50 to 1000 kg of sorbent per hour, offering versatile solutions for different operational scales. A successfully tested prototype, deployed during an oil refinery explosion near Kyiv, holds a patent in Ukraine, endorsements from the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Ukraine, television showcases, material samples, and certification within the country.

With oil spills occurring globally each year, this environmentally prioritized project holds unparalleled significance, offering a groundbreaking solution with no equivalents worldwide.
