TM-100 – Modified Organophilic Clay Media
TM-100 is a chemically modified organoclay / anthracite filtration media that removes oil, grease, and other low-soluble, high-molecular weight organics from water. This media can adsorb up to 50% of its weight in oil and other high-molecular organics. When used as a pre-treatment, TM-100 increases the overall efficiency of GAC by preventing surface pores from being blinded by oils, greases, and other less water-soluble organics; TM-100 can extend the lifetime of GAC by as much as 500%. The composition of TM-100 allows for a maximum water flow without an excessive pressure build-up in the column.
