How will the Eco-Carbons Carbon Beads help the current water crisis?

Water has become a vital and precious commodity. In our drought affected regions water is becoming scarcer. And soils are mainly infertile requiring high dosages of fertilizers, much of which can be lost through high leaching soils and adverse climatic conditions.

The carbon beads can arrest this situation by becoming soil amenders and improvers. The application of the beads ensures that water and nutrients are conserved and release slowly, allowing plants to grow in a healthy environment. Ultimately yields are maintained and increased without stress.

Cleaning Oil Spills

One of our biggest fears are oil tanker leakages which have a devastating impact on our environment and wildlife and in many cases the situations are irreversible.

Until now there has been no satisfactory means to cleaning up or arresting the problem.

Research into the flotation properties of the Eco Carbon Beads show that when they are pumped under an oil slick, they rise to the surface and attach themselves to the oil which can then be pumped off and the oil can be reclaimed by centrifuging.
