Ultra-Filter-Tex is particularly effective for managing heavier spills due to its high absorption capacity and versatility. Whether dealing with large-scale oil spills or significant stormwater contamination, Ultra-Filter-Tex provides a robust and flexible solution that can be quickly deployed to mitigate environmental damage.
What is Ultra-Filter-Tex?
Ultra-Filter-Tex® is a proprietary blend of fibres treated to naturally absorb oils and greases from water while allowing water to flow through the material. Unlike traditional polypropylene materials, Ultra-Filter-Tex is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts water, which enables it to filter out oils more efficiently.
Key Features
- High Absorption Capacity Ultra-Filter-Tex can absorb an average of 13 times its own weight in liquid hydrocarbons, including petroleum, animal, and vegetable oils.
- Environmentally Friendly Made from recycled synthetic fibres, it does not leach harmful substances into the environment and produces minimal residue when incinerated.
- Reusable: Approximately 85-90% of absorbed oils can be reclaimed, allowing the media to be reused.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for use in oil/water separators, stormwater and wastewater filtration systems, and water “polishing” applications.
Why is it Called a Flexible Solution?
Ultra-Filter-Tex is a versatile spill solution that can be easily adapted to fit specific project needs. It is available in various configurations, such as blankets, mats, and rolls, making it an ideal choice for requirements that do not align with standard products on the market.
APPLICATIONS OF ULTRA-FILTER-TEX
Stormwater Management
Ultra-Filter-Tex is highly effective in stormwater management products, helping to filter out pollutants before they enter water bodies.
Oil Spill Response
In the event of an oil spill, Ultra-Filter-Tex excels as a spill removal media. Its ability to selectively absorb oils while allowing water to pass through makes it ideal for use in marine and terrestrial environments.
Industrial Applications
Ultra-Filter-Tex is also used in industrial settings to manage oil and fuel spills around machinery and equipment. Its high absorption capacity and ease of deployment make it a valuable tool for maintaining a clean and safe work environment.
