Oil spills are similar to grease in a septic tank, is it possible that a powder form of the oxy tabs sprinkled over the oil slick could break it up and oxygenate the surrounding water?

The biggest difference setting grease apart from oil is its thickener. Grease is a thickened oil, not a thicker oil. The thickener within a grease acts as a sponge, holding the base oil and the additives together. This creates a grease's semi-fluid or solid structure, as opposed to the syrup-like consistency of oil.

Bacteria can be used to clean up oil spills in the ocean through bioremediation. Specific bacteria can be used to bioremediate specific contaminants, such as hydrocarbons, which are present in oil and gasoline.
