Key features
Can be supplied in different sizes, shapes and forms, as well as reinforced for special needs
High water flux permeability: 15,000-30,000 L/(m2h) — more than 4 times higher than that for similar textile membranes
Residual oil in water level – up to 5 mg/l
Wide operating range: Initial concentration of hydrocarbon in water 10-5000 mg/l, temperatures: 0 to +85°C, pH: 2-8
Petroleum products and oils do not stick and can be easily removed from the fabric surface
Allows water to pass through while retaining hydrocarbon (holds up to 10 cm of oil on the surface)
