# Organic Adsorption Media for Oil-Contaminated Wastewater Treatment

Oil-contaminated wastewater can include free oil, dispersed droplets, grease, and dissolved hydrophobic organics that reduce treatment reliability. Camp-Shinning offers **granular organic adsorption media** that targets these contaminants and helps stabilize industrial and remediation treatment systems.

## Common Sources of Oil-Contaminated Wastewater
– Equipment maintenance and wash-down streams
– Industrial process water with hydrocarbon carryover
– Remediation extraction water impacted by NAPL
– Condensate or cooling streams with oily residues

## What Organic Adsorption Media Can Achieve
– Strong uptake of oils and grease to reduce visible sheen
– Adsorption of hydrophobic dissolved organics
– Improved protection for downstream polishing units
– Support for consistent effluent quality when loads fluctuate

## How It Is Used in Practice
– Packed-bed adsorption vessels for continuous flow
– Stand-alone treatment for suitable oily water streams
– Upstream stage before activated carbon or final polishing
– Pretreatment step to reduce fouling and extend carbon life

## Operational Guidance
For best performance, consider:
1. Upstream separation for bulk free oil when feasible
2. Stable flow distribution across the media bed
3. Changeout planning based on organic loading trends
4. Monitoring oil/grease and target organics for breakthrough

## Packaging and Supply
Camp-Shinning provides standard 25 kg bag supply with packaging options adapted for project handling and shipment.

## FAQ

### Can this media remove free oil and dispersed oil?
It is designed for hydrophobic organics and can capture dispersed oil and residual oily compounds; upstream oil separation can enhance performance.

### Does it handle NAPL-impacted wastewater?
Yes. The media is suited for NAPL-related organics commonly found in remediation wastewater.

### Can it reduce activated carbon replacement frequency?
When used upstream, it can reduce fouling and organic load, improving carbon service life.

### What information helps with selection?
Flow rate, contaminant profile, and treatment targets are the key inputs for recommending media volume and configuration.
