Suitable for the polishing of trace hydrocarbons, the OilOut-99 is capable of absorbing up to three times its own weight before changeout is required. Designed to remove up to 99% of dispersed hydrocarbons, the SPECTRUM SRIF is suited to applications where the inlet contamination is below 500mg/l, such as surface run off water, CNC machine coolant and bilge separators. The OilOut-99 achieves best results as a polishing phase after primary oil removal technologies or in a double-pass system and is effective at removing a range of contaminants, including mineral oils and BTEX hydrocarbons.

Frequently asked questions

Oil-Out 99 is designed for oil-based impurities — separating oil and hydrocarbon contamination from water, commonly used in industrial and process applications like compressor condensate or oily wastewater rather than general drinking water treatment.

These filters typically work by coalescing — fine oil droplets suspended in water merge together as they pass through the media until they're large enough to separate out and be captured, rather than the water simply straining particles the way a sediment filter does.

This is an industrial/process filter aimed at oil and hydrocarbon contamination, not a drinking water product — check the specific product listing and safety data before considering it for a potable water application.

Oil-water separation filters like this are common in industrial settings dealing with compressor condensate, machine coolant, or oily process water where oil needs to be removed before discharge or reuse.

Watch for a drop in flow rate or oil breakthrough in the treated water — as with other depth-type filters, service life depends on how much oil load the water is carrying rather than a fixed calendar interval.
