PerforMedia™ Oil Removal Media Brochure

Oily water filtration was developed for filtering free oil and suspended solids from produced water or refinery wastewater, to be disposed of, re-injected, discharged or reused. These systems primarily used black walnut shell media, and required expensive treatment upstream to limit the filter loading rate.

For lower total cost of ownership of treatment equipment in oily water applications, PerforMedia media from Siemens can be used in place of both flotation and walnut shell filters, reducing oil concentrations from 500 ppm down to 10 ppm or less with lower operating expense.
