What happens here

The demonstrator gently stirs the peat moss into the oil layer using his finger. This mixing action facilitates the absorption process, causing the oil-soaked peat moss to clump together and sink, encapsulating the oil and separating it from the water. He points out the resulting 'pulp' at the bottom of the cup, indicating the absorbed oil.

Goal: Facilitate oil encapsulation by the peat moss.

What they say

want to just target the oil from the water and leave it nice, clean water. This is a dehydrated peat moss. We're going to cover the surface of our spill. Notice that it's already done. You can see pulp at the bottom. It's gone through, it's picked up all the oil. I got a little spot on the bottom. We'll see if we can get all of that, too.
