Harena Granular Adsorbent
Harena - Weighted adsorbent granular.
Harena is an award winning, fine grade, patent coated mineral with a granular size of approximately 0.8mm, capable of bonding all forms of hydrocarbon including fuels, oils and modified synthetics.
The fine grade of Harena gives the adsorbent a very large surface area which aids the bonding process of hydrocarbons and ensuring a quick and efficient capture of contamination.
Harena has a number of features which make it a suitable choice for a wide range uses from spillage control to hydrophobic sealing. These are as follows;
• Effective on all forms of hydrocarbon - from low viscosity silicon oils to high viscosity bitumen and crudes.
• Full hydrocarbon capture – Harena is able to successfully bond hydrocarbons whether in free phase, emulsified or vapour form.
• Non-leaching capability – Harena mechanically bonds the hydrocarbon molecule to itself preventing leaching either at the spill source or later at disposal.
• Fully hydrophobic – Harena will actively repel water meaning only the hydrocarbon contaminate will be removed, thereby reducing disposal cost.
• Fire retardant – Harena is able to capture the vapour element of high volatile fuels which significantly reduces the risk of combustion.
• Heavyweight – Designing as a weighty product means Harena can be applied to exactly where it is required and needed.
• Indefinite shelf life – Harena is not degraded by moisture or wet environmental conditions.
• Disposal methods – Harena has been WAC tested and classified as environment friendly non-reactive waste BS EN 12457
Packaging options...
Harena is available in a number of formats. These are as follows;

Adsorption (bonding) rates
A kilo of Harena will bond approximately 0.4-0.5litres of neat hydrocarbon.
A 20kg bag of Harena will bond approximately 8-10litres of neat hydrocarbon.
A 6kg Harena applicator will bond approximately 2.4-3litres of neat hydrocarbon.
A pallet of Harena will bond 400-500litres of neat hydrocarbon.
