Testimonials

Biomin’s products have achieved tremendous results in field applications, and we are very pleased to be able to share testimonials from some of our customers.

The product came highly recommended by our consultant, and since we have used it, we have reduced the loading of organic material in our carbon beds there by increasing their effectiveness.

Adsorption on Activated Carbon Vs Absorption on Organoclay — Organoclay works via absorption, a solvation type mechanism (organoclay is the solid solvent), which means the organoclay swells on absorption. Organoclay has as much as 10 times the capacity for oil removal as does activated carbon.

We are a committed user of the OilSorb product for water treatment applications which involve processing of waters contaminated with free or emulsified oils, PCBs, MTBE, and high concentrations of organic chemicals. We have consistently found that Biomin meets all of our shipping deadlines and has an unsurpassed record for product and technical support.

We have used OilSorb on many occasions for a wide range of projects -from 5 to 2,000gpm. By using OilSorb as a pre-treatment for carbon, we have saved our clients thousands of dollars. lt is important to look at the economics of each project. OilSorb has been able to reduce the project cost by over 50% in some cases. Our clients remember this and call us back as a result.

George,

Just thought you’d like an update on Biomin success.

Our latest COD’s:

Influent=68 ppm
Biomin influent=49 ppm
Biomin Eff/GAC#1=19.5ppm
Lead GAC Eff=ND

Earlier tests have confirmed that Biomin’s OilSorb™ is removing about 75% of COD. Before using Biomin we had a lead GAC breakthrough of 7-12 ppm. The reduced loading has taken that to ND levels, so we can be very sure the Lag GAC is catching all those stubborn phenols and SVOCs.

If you remember, before we were getting a lot of iron 3 in the effluent, and our TSS readings where getting up to 32-35 ppm, rather close to our permit limit of 40 ppm. All of it was converted iron (there is no way solids are going to get through 40,000 lb GAC). The latest effluent TSS was 3.0 ppm. This would indicate to me that the Biomin is oxidizing a lot of the iron (and hopefully other metals) on the front end. This is very obvious from the backwash color too.

So chalk up another one to OilSorb™ organophilic clay. It has allowed me to breathe a lot easier.

Thanks,

Jason Carlson
