Oil Separation

Nova Filsep introduces OreFilter media manufactured by LightOre GmbH an innovative and revolutionary technology. Ore Filter is a high-porous filter medium made from a unique diatomite earth for binding and separating contaminants in liquids.

Target Areas for OreFilter applications

  • Upstream Water Filtration – Frac water, Produced Water
  • Downstream Water Filtration – Waste, Process Water, Tailings Ponds
  • Midstream – Oil transportation and storage tank cleaning, Oil Recycling
  • Soil Remediation – Oil removal

Apart from Oil & Gas markets, OreFilter has proven applications in the following industries:

  • Pretreatment step using OreFilter to prolong life of membrane based systems.
  1. Desalination - Protection from algae and potential oil spills in the sea.
  2. Biotreatment system protection - MBR systems to be protected from damage caused by oil content. Pretreatment step for UltraFiltration to protect it from Oil and Total Suspended Solids.
  • Metal Industry
  1. Wastewater treatment, Surface water treatment and reuse.
  2. Closed water circulation Systems
  3. Automobile, Shipping, Airplane production sites.
  • Rainwater Collection Systems
  1. Parking areas, Airports, Railway Yards
  • Mobile Wastewater Systems for onsite applications where oily water needs to be treated for reuse or discharge.
  • Paper & Pulp industry
  1. Filtration and recycle of the water in the tanks under the paper rolling drums during production
  2. Reduce surfactant use, removal of oils for reuse of water.
  3. Oil removal for effective use of bio treatment before disposal.
  • AquaCulture industry
  1. Fish fats and waste very effectively removed with no clumping of media in RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture Systems)
  • Textile industry
  • Bilge Water treatment
