The correct option is: It is an eco-friendly technology for the remediation of oily sludge and oil spills.
Oilzapper is an eco-friendly technology developed by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) for the bioremediation of oily sludge and oil spills. It is a microbial consortium of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria that can effectively degrade a wide range of petroleum hydrocarbons. The technology is an effective, efficient, and cost-effective solution for the remediation of oily sludge and oil spills, which are a significant environmental concern.
