Oil Removal From Water
Activated Carbon Oil Absorption Media
oil absorption
TIGG's OMC oil absorption media is useful for removal of undissolved oil from water and may be used as a stand alone solution, polishing effluent of physical separators, or to prepare water for treatment downstream. 

Either modified clay or zeolite for use as an oil absorption media is provided, which have been mixed with anthracite to give the best operating scenario.  Maximum flow velocity into a unit is 5 gpm/ft2.

The active ingredient in the oil absorption media gives the capability to load to 50-60% of its own weight. 

Oil absorption media is capable of removing 80-90% of the undissolved oil present in an influent water stream.  Polishing media, such as activated carbon, provides improved results.

TIGG OMC is a granular surface modified substrate typically used for oil removal from water, including petroleum. OMC may also be used to remove heavy metals from Hydrocarbons. The substrate is modified with quaternary ammonium compounds which attract and hold hydrocarbons. This active ingredient is capable of absorbing at least 2-3 times its own weight of petroleum hydrocarbon. The product is offered mixed with anthracite in a 70:30 ratio of anthracite to active ingredient. Thus, the capacity for oil ranges from 60-90 wt% of the total weight of the media.
