_ Modified cellulose-based filter material chemically bonds specifically with hydrocarbons and other pollutants such as glycol and oil. Media is processed into sheets and assembled into cartridges for use in AMETEK standard 508mm 'Big Blue' vessels
  • Instantaneous adsorption. Better than activated carbon
  • Removes dissolved and dispersed oils. High efficiency removal of oils or glycol
  • Typically, over 90% of total hydrocarbons are removed in a single pass through the cartridge with no release once adsorbed
  • Lower outlet levels of hydrocarbons can be achieved by connecting cartridges in series
  • Higher flow rates can also be achieved by connecting cartridges in parallel.

Applications

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

Performance
Oil Adsorbing cartridge typically reduces hydrocarbon containment up to 90-95% in a single pass. Lower outlet levels of hydrocarbons can be achieved by connecting cartridges in series. Higher flow rates also can be achieved by connecting cartridges in parallel.
Hydrocarbon-Adsorbing capacity: The cartridge media has the potential to remove up to 2270 gms (5 lbs) hydrocarbon contaminant. On this basis, the table below provides expected life data in hours or gallons at several contaminant levels based on a 36 lpm flow rate per 114 mm x 508 mm cartridge.
