Dyna-Aqua™ Oil Sorb
Dyna-Aqua Oil Sorb™ Alumina for Oil Spills and Cleanup
When we say DAI is a solutions oriented company targeting the most pressing environmental and health problems facing our planet, we mean it.
Developed in response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Dyna-Aqua Oil Sorb™ provides the most cost-effective and efficient method to remove oil from sea water.

For the first time, alumina is being used to impregnate nonwoven fibers, providing a cost-effective and efficient method of removing oil from the ocean.
By impregnating cotton with specialized alumina, DA Oil Sorb™ is able to bind up to 3 gallons (+/- 0.2 gal) of oil for every pound of alumina treated cotton as tested using ASTM methods, exceeding any other method in the marketplace. Through the adsorbent properties of alumina, volatile organic compounds such as fumes and toxins can be removed before they make workers sick.
Works through the combination of absorption (cotton) and adsorption (alumina). The cotton product is used as endorsed by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers and researched by agricultural engineer and ASABE Fellow Wm. Stanley Anthony at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
- DA Oil Sorb™ alumina is manufactured in the USA to be environmentally safe.
- Removes volatile organic compounds that can make workers sick.
- Product dimensions: 6 mm thick. Currently available in roll widths of 6, 9 and 12 feet, and 150 ft. length,
- Approximately 70% of the oil can be removed from the cotton and the cotton can be reused.
