OrganoClay Products / MCM 830


Unlike the MCM-830P (100% OrganoClay filtration media), the MCM-830 is a blend of anthracite and bentonite clay that has been impregnated with a quarternary amine.  A granular, organically-modified clay filtration/adsorption media for water treatment, MCM-830 removes mechanically emulsified oil and grease, free oil and high molecular weight organic molecules.  It is highly versatile, effective, and can be used in pre-treatment, post-treatment, or stand-alone processes.

MCM-830 can be used as post treatment to oil-water separators or as pre-treatment to liquid carbon filtration systems resulting in cleaner water longer run times than with carbon alone and therefore decreased operational costs. When used alone, the MCM-830 removes oil at 700% the rate of activated carbon and will reduce your operating costs by 50% or more.  When used as a pre-treatment for activated carbon in applications involving oil and grease removal, MCM-830 removes the oil and grease effectively, allowing the activated carbon to remove the soluble organic compounds more efficiently.

MCM-830 increases the efficiency of the treatment process - The quarternary amine-treated clay pellets have the ability to capture 50 - 60% of their weight in oil, grease and other low solubility organic compounds.  Used upstream from activated carbon or downstream of other oil removal processes, MCM-830 optimizes the overall system performance and reduces costs.
