PM-100 Wastewater Filtration Media
PM-100 is a chemically modified clay and anthracite filtration media that reliably removes oil, grease and other high-molecular weight organics from wastewater
CETCO chemically modified clay and anthracite filtration media that reliably removes oil, grease and other high-molecular weight organics from wastewater. Engineered for column operation, CETCOn effective treatment technology. It can also be used as a pre-treatment or post-treatment to many other filtration technologies.
CETCOn excellent pre-treatment for activated carbon, reverse osmosis and desalination systems. For example, by absorbing up to 60% of its weight in oil and grease, PM-100 will increase the effectiveness of activated carbon by preventing the pore blinding problem associated with oil, grease and other less water-soluble organics. PM-100 can extend the lifetime of the carbon by factors of 2 to 10 times, while resulting in higher carbon sorption capacity. In general, anytime oil and grease extractable are 1 ppm or greater, PM-100 will be an economic advantage as a pre-treatment for carbon. As a stand alone media, PM-100 is the best technology available for treatment of oil contaminated wastestreams and boiler condensate.
CETCOn extremely efficient posttreatment media downstream of equipment such as dissolved and induced air flotation units, API oil separators, corrugated plate separators, granular media oil coalescers, ultrafiltration, air strippers and our own wastewater treatment systems.Economical to use. PM-100's large absorption capacity (up to 60% its weight) for oil and other high molecular weight organics makes it the cost effective oil-removal alternative relative to other filtration materials.
Dependable. PM-100 can accommodate increases in flow rates and contaminant concentration levels caused by accidental spills and plant upsets. When oil is not present, PM-100 is not being expended, thus providing a "fail safe" method to prevent oil contamination.
Simple to Apply. PM-100 is employed in conventional filtration contactors.
Non-Hazardous. Fresh PM-100 is non-hazardous; therefore, the waste classification of the spent material is determined by the constituents removed.
PM-100 differs from activated carbon in the mechanism of organic sorption from water. Activated carbon absorbs organics through a surface area related mechanism (Figure 1) which tends to foul activated carbon by blinding the pore structure (Figure 2) and lowering the available surface area for adsorption. PM-100 technology absorbs organics through a platelets partitioning process (Figure 3) that increases the organic absorption capacity to approximately 60% of its weight.
