What it is for

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.

Typical duties

Oily water treatment, wash-water recovery, coolant maintenance, stormwater and bund water, wash-bay discharge.

Chemical & service notes

Changed when it stops taking up oil. Pair it with a weir or skimmer — make the bag the polish, not the primary removal.

Temperature

Media dependent. The housing seal has its own limit — the lower of the two governs.

Priced per box · volume rates

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 →

Build it and see the price

Pick the size, media, micron, ring, handles and pack — the configurator gives you a part code, a full specification and a price, with the volume breaks shown. Minimum order a pack of five.

Tell us the duty, not the part number

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.
