Oil absorbing
Oleophilic media that takes free and emulsified hydrocarbon out of a water stream while passing the water. Not a strainer
This media is not held in stock. Polypropylene needlefelt and nylon monofilament mesh are — those two are priced on the site and ship from stock. Everything else, including this one, is built to your specification and quoted. Build the specification and get a price →

Where this media earns its place
Oleophilic media that takes free and emulsified hydrocarbon out of a water stream while passing the water. Not a strainer — it holds oil in the media by affinity.
Oily water treatment, wash-water recovery, coolant maintenance, stormwater and bund water, wash-bay discharge.
Changed when it stops taking up oil. Pair it with a weir or skimmer — make the bag the polish, not the primary removal.
Media dependent. The housing seal has its own limit — the lower of the two governs.

Bag price moves with media, micron, ring type and quantity, and drops sharply at volume. Tell us the spec and your annual usage for a per-bag rate and a standing-order price. Get bag pricing →
Pick the size, media, micron, collar, handles, seam and finish. The builder gives you a part code and a full specification, and tells you whether the bag is one we hold or one we quote. Minimum five bags, then any number above that.
Build a custom bag specification →What are you filtering?
Flow rate, fluid, temperature, particle size and how often you want to change bags. We size the housing and the bag around that and quote the pair, delivered and commissioned.
