Green Rhino Oil & Sediment Filter

Product Overview:

This rugged sediment filter will also absorb light hydrocarbon contamination. Use it after cleaning contaminated water or when there is a small risk of contamination whilst working (e.g. with oil filled cables).

Product Benefits:

• More cost-effective than vacuum tankers or settlement tanks
• Sediment removed to Environment Agency accepted levels (150µm)
• Reduce the risk of discharging contaminated water
• 20kg sediment capacity
• Rugged filter designed for repeated use

When should I use an Oil & Sediment filter?
This is primarily a sediment filter which will also capture light hydrocarbon contamination. However, when dewatering excavations which are contaminated with hydrocarbons, we strongly recommend that Green Rhino Oil Retention Pillows are used to soak up the sheen first. The Oil & Sediment Filter will capture any residual contamination. When the integral hydrocarbon detection strip turns dark blue, it is time to change the filter.

Why are Green Rhino Oil & Sediment Filters better than other filters?
Customers tell us that our oil & sediment filters are more robust than other brands and consequently last longer. Constructed from a layered system of nylon monofilament for capturing sediment particles down to 150µm, and a PVC nylon outer sleeve tested for tensile strength and durability, this rugged silt bag is built to handle repeated use in harsh conditions.

Reusability makes our filters extremely cost-effective. We state that filters can be reused up to 20 times but you may get more or less usage out of them depending on the geology of the sediment being filtered.

Green Rhino Sediment Filters also include the following features:

Integral hydrocarbon detector alerts you to oil-based contaminants
Lifting straps for safe and easy handling
Highly visible colour to avoid trips
For higher volume dewatering jobs where you might ordinarily hire a settlement tank, consider using a Green Rhino Manifold to harness up to eight sediment filters at once.
