As an environmental expert with over 15 years of experience in ecosystem protection and oil spill response, I have witnessed numerous incidents causing severe damage in Vietnam. From oil tanker accidents to leaks at storage facilities, each event leaves lasting consequences: water pollution, mass marine life deaths, and economic losses amounting to thousands of billions of VND.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, over the past decade, more than 50 major and minor oil spills have occurred, directly affecting over 10,000 coastal households and destroying hundreds of hectares of mangrove forests. The average remediation cost per incident can exceed 50 billion VND, excluding impacts on fisheries and tourism.
In the context of climate change increasing the frequency of storms and floods—IPCC projections suggest a sea level rise of 20-30cm by 2050—preparing for oil spill response is no longer optional but mandatory. This is why I want to introduce Bignanotech—a pioneering Vietnamese company in nano-materials, specializing in high-quality oil spill response products such as the N-FIBER oil-absorbent fabric, oil-absorbent mats, oil-absorbent rolls, and oil-absorbent pillows. With nano-technology from Japan, Bignanotech delivers sustainable products and commits to supporting customers in environmental protection, from consultation to practical deployment.

Compliance with Two Key Prime Ministerial Decisions for Credibility and Effectiveness in Oil Spill Response
Bignanotech prioritizes legal compliance, especially with two critical decisions by the Prime Minister on oil spill response. Decision 12/2021/QĐ-TTg (issued on March 24, 2021) establishes a national legal framework, mandating multi-level response plans from national to local levels, emphasizing the use of fire-safe and eco-friendly materials. This decision outlines detailed procedures for oil spill response, including the deployment of absorbent materials that can handle high flow rates and prevent secondary pollution.
Subsequently, Decision 24/2025/QĐ-TTg (issued on July 16, 2025) introduces provisions for delegating plan approval to commune-level People’s Committees and reducing approval time to 7 days, enhancing agility for small businesses and local communities in oil spill response.
Bignanotech’s products fully align with these regulations. For instance, the N-FIBER oil-absorbent fabric, with a capacity to absorb 1.75kg oil/m² and handle flow rates up to 250m³/hour, meets Article 24 on the safe use of chemicals and materials in oil spill response. Similarly, the oil-absorbent roll (40cm x 50m x 5mm, weighing 0.5kg/m²) enables rapid oil collection without clogging, supporting grassroots oil spill response plans.
Bignanotech also provides detailed guides to help businesses integrate products into compliance plans, ensuring 100% adherence and minimizing fines of up to hundreds of millions of VND. By incorporating these decisions, Bignanotech not only enhances credibility but also empowers users to conduct efficient oil spill response operations, from initial containment to full remediation.
Nano-Technology Solutions from Bignanotech: Detailed and Flexible for Oil Spill Response
Bignanotech stands out with its nano-technology-based products, absorbing oil 20-50 times their weight, reusable 3-5 times, and reducing operating costs by 40-50%. Based on the company’s product selection guidelines, customers can choose tailored solutions for oil spill response:
-
Identify the Substance to Treat: Determine the type of spill—gasoline, oil, chemicals, solvents, acids, bases, or corrosives. Bignanotech advises on products like oil-absorbent fabric for water spills or oil-absorbent rolls for large areas, ensuring high efficiency and safety in oil spill response.
- Determine Cleaning Needs and Select Suitable Products: For wiping drips, flooring, rolls, or pillows—opt for oil-absorbent mats or pillows. For example, the N-FIBER P50 mat (50x50cm) is ideal for storage areas, while oil-absorbent rolls suit ports with their long-coverage capability, making them perfect for rapid oil spill response in expansive environments.
-
Choose Appropriate Product Specifications: Bignanotech offers diverse sizes, from 40cm x 50cm mats to long rolls, with lightweight designs and high flow resistance. Fire-resistant versions are available for flammable environments like oil tankers, ensuring comprehensive oil spill response capabilities.

These solutions are not just theoretical; they are tested in real-world scenarios. For instance, the oil-absorbent roll can cover up to 50m in length, absorbing up to 180L per roll, which is crucial for containing spills before they spread. Bignanotech’s nano-fibers ensure selective absorption—oil is trapped while water passes through—reducing cleanup time by 50% and minimizing environmental impact. This flexibility makes Bignanotech a leader in customized oil spill response strategies, whether for industrial sites, seaports, or emergency teams.
Commitment to Environmental Protection and Practical Applications of Bignanotech in Oil Spill Response
Beyond selling products, Bignanotech offers end-to-end support: free consultations, usage training, and custom solutions. A real-world example is the 2024 oil spill at Hai Phong Port, where the N-FIBER oil-absorbent mat and oil boom helped the response team collect 80% of the spill in just 2 hours, minimizing pollution spread and saving 50% of costs. Mr. Nguyen Van A, the port manager, noted: “The product is user-friendly, highly effective, and eco-friendly—exactly what we need to comply with the Prime Minister’s Decisions.”

Bignanotech also actively participates in environmental initiatives, collaborating with MONRE to supply products to vulnerable areas, reducing plastic waste and protecting marine ecosystems. Their oil-absorbent mats, for instance, are trusted by reputable organizations for their durability and efficiency in oil spill response, with features like anti-static treatment preventing fire hazards in volatile environments.

In practical terms, Bignanotech’s products integrate seamlessly into multi-level oil spill response plans. For local governments, the quick-deployment oil-absorbent rolls support the 7-day approval timeline in Decision 24/2025, allowing rapid setup in coastal areas. For businesses, the reusable aspect aligns with sustainable practices, cutting long-term costs and promoting green operations.
