Oil Absorbing Filter Cartridge

Oil Absorbing Filter Cartridges are formed in such a technique, that this filter media is capable of removing up to 95% of total hydrocarbons from water in a single pass. Filter media of these Oil Absorbing Filter Cartridges is the material containing modified cellulose. Dissolved oil, emulsions & dispersed droplets are adsorbed and retained from water by the filter media.

Oil Absorbing Filter Cartridges have been specifically developed and manufactured for the high efficiency removal of dissolved & dispersed oils from water, within the gas & oil production industries, contaminated surface water runoff, marine bilge and ballast water treatment systems & other industrial process industries.

Features & Benefits

• Instantaneous adsorption
• Better than activated carbon
• Removes dissolved and dispersed oils
• High flow rates
• Low pressure drop
• High efficiency removal of oils
• No release of removed hydrocarbons
• Media can hold 300 % of its own weight
• Typically, over 90% of total hydrocarbons are removed in a pass through the cartridge with no release once adsorbed
• Higher flow rates also can be achieved by connecting cartridges in parallel
• Lower outlet levels of hydrocarbons can be achieved by connecting cartridges in series

Construction
Oil Absorbing Filter Cartridges are made by rolling the sheet material onto a central core support. The core & outer surface of filter media rolls are covered with retaining mesh. The complete module is then encapsulated in to end caps, suitable for fitting into a variety of housing configurations.

Configuration

• Double Open Type (DOE Type )

Applications

• Industrial processes
• Gas and oil facilities
• Machine shops
• Car and truck washes
• Factories and repair shops
• Auto service stations gate leisure / commercial shipping bilge water
• Surface water runoff (truck stops, airports)
