OilFree Filter Cartridges

OilFree is a patented polymeric technology that is applied to all Oilfree filter cartridges and related technologies. The Oilfree solution removes hydrocarbons from water, emulsified polluants from water, PCB's, BTEX, oily sheen, synthetic and natural oils, solvents and organically bound metals from water.

Easy Removal of Hydrocarbons

The OiFree technology is engineered to remove hydrocarbons from water instantly. OilFree immobilizes and permanently bonds the hydrocarbon compounds without developing pressure. The OilFree technology removes oily sheen, synthetic and natural oils, BTEX, PCB's, solvents and organically bound metals. The pressure drop across a saturated OilFree cartridge is less than 1 psi. Oilfree technology is available in turn-key systems with operational ranges from 1 gpm - 5000 gpmOilFree filters. Contact us for more information on the application of OilFree technology.

Easy Removal of Hydrocarbons from Water

The OiFree technology is engineered to remove hydrocarbons from water instantly. OilFree immobilizes and permanently bonds the hydrocarbon compounds without developing pressure. The OilFree technology removes oily sheen, synthetic and natural oils, BTEX, PCB's, solvents and organically bound metals. The pressure drop across a saturated OilFree cartridge is less than 1 psi. Oilfree technology is available in turn-key systems with operational ranges from 1 gpm - 5000 gpm.

OilFree cartridges are able to remove TPH to below detectable limits: with no water drag out; high efficiency (generally greater than 99.9%); small footprint; fixed chemistry and it is very effective in handling large slugs of pollutants

The cartridges exhibit low pressure differential, no moving parts and will not desorb while treating a wide range of polluants.

OilFree PCB Removal Cartridges

OilFree PCB filters are designed to remove low levels of all types of PCB's (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) down to allowable discharge levels (typically 65 ppt). OilFree instantly solubilizes the PCB compounds and bonds them to its surface, preventing any release. OilFree cartridges can also remove low level BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene) components.
