As the regional distributor, we will provide a quality product and outstanding service to make sure all of your company’s needs are met. 

Goal

To provide an environmentally safe and cost-effective method of slurry and free-flowing liquid mitigation to the hydro–excavating and environmental remediation industries. 

Richards Excavating can provide for all stages of your project, from product supply to a full site set up, including slurry basins, product implementation, and load out services. 

The Absorb&Clean line of 100% natural compressed absorbents that we are distributing has unique benefits in the slurry mitigation and environmental remediation fields when compared to standard heating fuel pellets. From raw material sourcing through final packaging, all materials are held in a strict chain of custody to ensure only the cleanest and highest quality products. All raw materials start from closely monitored, environmentally responsible forestry management practices. 

Additionally, with multiple plants across the country, and an onsite ready-for-dispatch inventory, we can ensure timely delivery for your project, and are available for emergency response at all times. 

Absorb&Clean products are manufactured using a proprietary method that strips the fibers of all oils, resins, and absorbent barriers, leaving an all-natural wood product free of any contaminants, with an absorbency rate 3 times greater than pellets produced out of other materials with different methods. Unlike Absorb&Clean, many companies use construction, demolition, and pallet waste to produce their pellets, causing the potential for an unlimited amount of contamination.

Some of the more common chemicals found in these source materials are lead, mercury, asbestos, arsenic, warfarin, formaldehyde and 2,4,6-tribromoanisole(TBA) a fungicide used to treat pallets before shipment. The National Consumers League has also done testing on pallets showing that they have contained both E.coli and Listeria. This creates an environmental hazard for disposal and a safety hazard for all personnel coming in contact with these products. 

Absorb&Clean has set the standard with clean, highly absorbent, Environmentally responsible, and safe-to-handle wood absorbent products that have changed the way slurry and free-flowing liquids are handled in the industry. Please contact us with any questions regarding our products and services.
