Operation

TheCK 101 cartridges generally furnish the filters located at exit basins and decantors, in order to trap the possible residues after treatment.

The cartridge CK 101 is particularly adapted to the absorption of the emulsions, on the surface like in-depth : rain water for example.

Characteristics

Cartridge CK 101 consists of thin  polypropylene fibre, have a maximum contact surface  with hydrocarbons. They absorb, by simple contact, hydrocarbons like 4600 chemical bodies: varnished, paintings, solvents, etc.

Lengt   Length 1m, diameter 12 cm, weight 1kg approximately. Absorption capacity  : 8 à 10 times its own weight. Cartridges CK 101 are hydrophobic and remain insubmersible in all circumstances. Very trapped liquid is never released.

The worn cartridges are destroyed by incineration. 

System effectiveness : 97% of hydrocarbons, including the emulsions. The lifespan of the cartridges related to the absorbed hydrocarbons quantity . By experiment, on an oil terminal, the cartridges replacement frequency is 1 per annum time.
