# Improve Oil Removal Efficiency in Produced Water Using Organobentonite Adsorption Media | Camp-Shinning

Produced water treatment can be limited by dispersed hydrocarbons that remain after primary separation. Camp-Shinning supplies **organobentonite adsorption media** designed to capture hydrophobic organics and help improve oil removal efficiency in produced water polishing systems.

## Why Produced Water Can Be Hard to Polish
– Dispersed oil droplets may remain stable at small sizes
– Salinity and temperature can affect separation performance
– Hydrocarbon carryover increases polishing system fouling
– Tight reuse or discharge targets demand consistent polishing

## How Organobentonite Supports Oil Removal
Organobentonite can:
– Adsorb dispersed hydrocarbons that pass separators
– Capture residual oily organics that contribute to fouling
– Improve stability of downstream filtration or carbon systems
– Support lower oil sheen and improved clarity in treated water

## Common Integration Points
– Packed-bed adsorption vessels after separation
– Modular skids for remote produced water treatment
– Pretreatment stage ahead of carbon or membrane polishing
– Batch adsorption tanks for surge and equalization control

## Operational Tips
– Maintain even flow distribution through the media bed
– Monitor oil and grease as well as key organics for breakthrough
– Plan changeout based on loading trends and compliance margins
– Consider upstream free oil removal to extend media service life

## Packaging and Supply
Camp-Shinning supplies 25 kg bag packaging with options for palletization and remote-site logistics.

## FAQ

### Can organobentonite help remove emulsified oil in produced water?
It can adsorb hydrophobic organics even when oil is dispersed; performance depends on chemistry, droplet size, and contact time.

### Is it suitable for high-salinity produced water?
It is designed for hydrophobic organics; site conditions such as salinity and temperature should be considered during selection.

### Does it replace conventional separation?
It is typically used after separation as a polishing or pretreatment step to improve overall hydrocarbon control.

### What information is needed for system sizing?
Flow rate, oil levels, salinity, temperature, and treatment goals are the main inputs for sizing recommendations.
