In the context of accelerating industrialization, oil pollution incidents — including major oil spills, chemical leaks at industrial facilities, seaports, and oil & gas exploration sites — have become a serious threat to the environment and public health. Global environmental reports indicate that millions of tons of petroleum hydrocarbons are released into the environment annually, causing severe and long-lasting damage to soil, groundwater, surface water, and entire ecosystems. As a result, the demand for highly effective, safe, and truly eco-friendly oil pollution remediation products continues to grow rapidly.
One of the leading solutions currently available on the Vietnamese market is Bignanotech’s Biological Oil-Degrading Powder — commercially known as N-BIO POWDER (or N-Biopowder). This advanced bioremediation product not only rapidly absorbs and contains spilled oil but also completely biodegrades petroleum hydrocarbons into harmless end products, while simultaneously supporting soil restoration and converting residual material into beneficial organic fertilizer.
In this comprehensive article, we will explore in detail Bignanotech’s Biological Oil-Degrading Powder, covering composition, mode of action, key performance advantages, application methods, real-world case studies, and practical recommendations for end-users.

What is Bignanotech Biological Oil-Degrading Powder (N-BIO POWDER)?
N-BIO POWDER is an advanced biological oil-degrading powder specifically engineered for the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in soil, sediment, sand, and on water surfaces.
Unlike conventional physical absorbents that merely contain the spill, Biological Oil-Degrading Powder N-BIO POWDER combines high-performance natural sorbent materials with a consortium of specially selected hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms, enabling both immediate spill containment and complete biological degradation (bioremediation) of the oil.
Key Composition
- Carrier material: 100% natural cellulose-based sorbent of plant origin → Extremely high oil absorption capacity — up to 8 times higher than most conventional oil absorbents available in the market
- Microbial consortium: – Bacillus spp. (viable count: 10⁷ – 10⁸ CFU/g) – Streptomyces spp. (viable count: 10⁷ – 10⁸ CFU/g) These strains have undergone rigorous selection, safety evaluation, and efficacy testing to ensure they are non-pathogenic to humans, animals, plants, and soil ecosystems.
- Appearance: Fine brown granular powder, free of hazardous chemicals
Packaging: 10 kg multi-layer bags (dimensions: 52 × 36 × 12 cm) Absorption capacity: Up to 4 liters of oil per 1 kg of product (depending on oil viscosity and type)
Mode of Action – Dual Mechanism
The product works in two synergistic phases:
- Immediate physical containment (sorption phase) Upon application, the cellulose matrix rapidly wicks and immobilizes free-phase oil, preventing further spread, emulsification, and secondary contamination of soil or water bodies.
- Complete biological degradation (bioremediation phase) The embedded hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms utilize the petroleum hydrocarbons as a carbon and energy source, metabolizing them through aerobic biodegradation pathways into: – Carbon dioxide (CO₂) – Water (H₂O) – Biomass – Environmentally benign organic metabolites
Under optimal field conditions, 70–80% of the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) can be degraded within 1–4 months, depending on oil type (light vs. heavy), initial concentration, soil moisture, temperature, and oxygen availability. The residual carrier material is transformed into a nutrient-rich organic amendment that improves soil structure, water retention, and fertility.
Key Advantages of Bignanotech Biological Oil-Degrading Powder
- Complete bioremediation — not just containment: achieves 100% biological degradation of absorbed hydrocarbons
- Rapid emergency response — immediate sorption prevents migration of free oil
- Environmentally safe: non-toxic, non-corrosive, no secondary hazardous waste generation
- Soil restoration: converts contaminated sites into fertile, productive land
- Cost-effective: priced at approximately 50% of equivalent imported bioremediation products while delivering 8× higher absorption capacity
- Versatile applications: – Emergency oil spill response on land and intertidal zones – In-situ bioremediation of chronically contaminated soils – Treatment of high-cellulose organic wastes (rice straw, bagasse, paper sludge) – Organic fertilizer/base dressing/top dressing for crops
Detailed Application Guidelines
1. Emergency Spill Response & Surface Oil Containment
- Evenly broadcast the powder over the free-phase oil
- Lightly rake or mix to ensure full contact
- Allow sorption to occur (usually within minutes)
- For deeper penetration: till or excavate and mix powder into contaminated soil
2. In-situ Bioremediation of Contaminated Soil
- Apply at dosage rate of 1–5 kg powder per m³ of contaminated soil (depending on TPH concentration)
- Incorporate uniformly to a depth of 30–50 cm using tillers or excavators
- Maintain adequate soil moisture (40–60% water-holding capacity) and aeration
- Monitor TPH reduction periodically; re-apply if necessary
- Typical degradation timeframe: 1–4 months for 70–80% TPH reduction
3. Use as Organic Fertilizer / Soil Conditioner
- Base application: Spread evenly before plowing (5–10 kg/1,000 m²)
- Top dressing: Apply in furrows or around plant base, cover lightly, and irrigate
- Enhances microbial activity, nutrient cycling, and soil structure
Precautions:
- Avoid application in extreme heat (>45°C) or waterlogged anaerobic conditions
- Wear basic PPE (gloves, dust mask) during handling
Real-World Applications & Case Studies
Bignanotech Biological Oil-Degrading Powder has been successfully deployed in:
- Power plants and mechanical workshops (machinery oil & lubricant spills)
- Maritime and port facilities (bilge oil, fuel spills)
- Road traffic accident sites involving fuel tankers
- Agricultural land impacted by illegal oil waste dumping
- Paper & packaging industry high-cellulose waste composting
Notable case: At Song Dai Water Treatment Plant, the product was applied to remediate oil-contaminated soil adjacent to raw water intake areas. Molecular-level degradation was achieved without impacting drinking water quality, and the treated soil showed rapid recovery of microbial diversity and improved agronomic properties.
