Here are some important commandments for carrying out successful Oilsorb Organoclay/Carbon filtration:
- Filter to 5 microns prior to filtration
- Avoid filtering water below a pH of 5
- Remove all ferrous iron and manganese prior to filtration
- Use low ppm hypochlorite to prevent bio-fouling
- Always soak the Oilsorb organoclay and carbon prior to use to release entrained air and increase filter capability
- Use post filtration of 0.35 micron for PCB and other low level discharge compounds to prevent false positives due to fines washing off carbon
