# High Adsorption Capacity Media for Oils, Grease, and Low-Solubility Organics

Projects dealing with heavy organic loading need media that can capture large amounts of hydrophobic contaminants without rapid exhaustion. Camp-Shinning supplies **high adsorption capacity granular media** designed for oils, grease, NAPL-related organics, and low-solubility contaminants such as PAHs and PCBs.

## What “High Capacity” Means in Practice
High capacity adsorption media can:
– Hold significant oil and grease mass per unit weight
– Maintain performance under variable influent loading
– Support longer service intervals and fewer changeouts
– Reduce downtime and media handling costs

## Contaminants Commonly Addressed
– Free and dispersed oils
– Greases and hydrocarbon residues
– NAPL-associated organics
– Dissolved hydrophobic compounds including PAHs and PCBs

## Where High Capacity Media Is Used
– Flow-through filtration for groundwater and leachate
– Pretreatment ahead of activated carbon polishing
– Stand-alone oily water treatment systems
– PRB installations for passive plume control
– Active sediment capping for chemical isolation

## Economic Benefits for Operators
– Lower total media consumption per treated volume
– Improved reliability during contaminant spikes
– Reduced polishing costs due to lower carbon fouling risk
– Simplified operations in remote or high-flow sites

## Packaging and Supply
Camp-Shinning supplies 25 kg bags and can support bulk project logistics for large-scale deployments.

## FAQ

### Is high capacity media better for variable influent loads?
Yes. Higher capacity helps maintain performance during spikes and reduces the risk of early breakthrough.

### Can it be used before activated carbon?
Yes. It is commonly used as pretreatment to reduce fouling and improve carbon utilization.

### Does it treat low-solubility organics like PAHs and PCBs?
Yes. The media is designed for hydrophobic dissolved organics that are difficult to remove by separation alone.

### Which applications benefit most from high capacity?
High-flow treatment systems, oily water streams, PRB barriers, and active sediment capping projects often see strong benefits.
