lnbitex has been specifically developed to optimise the cleanliness of the water entering a system. Various characteristics have been combined
to create an unique geotextile that aids the development of naturally occurring microbes and offers them refuge during periods of drought.
Research undertaken at Coventry University on microbial growth has shown that the system using lnbitex is capable of degrading oil found in water to at least 70g per square metre per annum.
lnbitex is unique, it is manufactured from both polypropylene and polyethylene fabrics. During this process, small dishes are created on the surface of the hairs from which the geotextile is manufactured. This is very important in the early establishment of a microbial biomass which is responsible for eating and degrading oil in the water.
