Technical Advisory # 13 - CONTINUOUS CHLORINATION KEEPS “OILSORB” ORGANOCLAY/CARBON BEDS CLEAN

Technical Advisory # 14 - OILSORB/CARBON SYSTEMS STABILIZE ABOVE GROUND BIO-REMEDIATION SYSTEMS

Technical Advisory # 15 - Cost Savings when using OILSORB™ organoclay.

Technical Advisory # 16 - NATURAL GAS COMPRESSOR WATER CLEAN-UP

Technical Advisory # 17 - PRE-POLISIHING TO ECONOMIZE “ADVANCED OXIDATION TECHNOLOGIES”?

Technical Advisory # 18 - Produced Water Cleanup

Technical Advisory # 19 - Cut your GAC Costs 50% Pre-treat your water with Biomin EC-100 Organoclay

Technical Advisory # 22 - Understand the problems associated with the effects of oily waste on deionization resins.

Technical Advisory # 23 - Membrane Technologies for Wastewater Reuse. The challenges due to membrane fouling by oil: Solved with OILSORB organoclay

Technical Advisory # 24 - Manufactured Gas Processing Sites, Remediation using Organoclay.

Technical Advisory # 25 - COD problems? Organoclay (OILSORB) to the rescue

Technical Advisory # 26 - Oil and other petroleum hydrocarbons such as diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel are not miscible in water. Read more about Emulsions

Technical Advisory # 27 - The primary function of oxidative systems used in water treatment is to inactivate (kill) microorganisms. Read more about Oxidative Systems

Technical Advisory # 28 -The recycling of waste water is profitable.Recently a consulting firm (NUS) conducted an annual water survey, which determined that the average price of water in the U.S.A. climbed 3.5% from July 1, 2004 to July 1, 2005. Read more about Recycling of Waste Water

Technical Advisory # 29 -Recontamination of water with activated carbon; OILSORB to the rescue. When granular activated carbon is used to remove BTEX from water, a detrimental phenomenon can occur. The molecules with lower solubility, such as toluene and xylene, can kick off benzene, which has a higher solubility. The amount of benzene is now higher in the effluent than in the influent, causing the water to become hazardous again. This phenomenon is called “Roll-Off or Roll-Over... Read more about recontamination of water with activated carbon

Technical Advisory # 30 -High Flow Groundwater Treatment of Crude Oil. A California city was installing a storm drain in an area of very shallow groundwater. Sections of the new pipeline ran adjacent to crude oil pipelines installed over sixty years ago. These pipelines had leaked over the years... Read More about High Flow Groundwater Treatment of Crude Oil.

Technical Advisory # 31 -Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDC's) reduction with sorbents. The rule of thumb to use is that for EDC's with solubilities lower than benzene, organoclay should be used as a pre-polisher. Solubilities higher than benzene require activated carbon... Read More about Endocrine Disrupting Copmpunds. See the Table Associated with this report

Technical Advisory # 32 -Calculating OILSORB™ Organoclay requirements. Calculate amount of OILSORB that is required. Known: Flow=15 gpm; O&G = 70 ppm. Operating period: 1440 min/day, 7 days/week... Read More about calculating OILSORB ™ Organoclay requirements.

Technical Advisory # 33 -Reducing Your Activated Carbon Costs. Remove gasoline from water, up to 7 times more effectively, while cutting operations costs by 50%, with “Oilsorb”... Read More about reducing activated carbon costs.

Technical Advisory # 34 -Using Organoclays for Efficient Dewatering. Organoclays have been used as a pre-polisher for activated carbon or as a post-polisher for oil/water separators and dissolved air flotation units for the removal of small amounts of oil, for the removal of small amounts of oil, grease, PCB, PNA, BTX and other organic hydrocarbons of low solubility for cleanup of groundwater and wastewater... Read More about usin Organoclays for Efficient Dewatering.

Technical Advisory # 35 -OILSORB Hill Air Force Base Case History. The largest application for OILSORB™ was at Hill Air Force Base in Utah where three organoclay/anthrazite mix tanks protect four granular activated carbon columns. The water that is processed is wash water from jet plane cleaning operations and storm water runoff... Read More about the largest application for OILSORB.
