PolyCera Titan Oil-Removing Technology

With less flow/equipment, less equipment, and less chemicals used

Core technology: Titan series ultrafiltration membranes for high temperature, acid and alkali resistance and deoiling of oily wastewater treatment in oil and gas fields, refining and chemical industries. Its unique material can provide a super hydrophilic and oleophobic surface equivalent to ceramic membrane, pollution resistance, and easy cleaning characteristics. 

Organometallic Materials Based On The Nobel Prize In Chemistry In 2000

PolyCera membranes are setting new standards of membrane performance. A totally different type of membrane – neither conventional polymer nor traditional ceramic – PolyCera is engineered with an organic metal coating derived from Nobel Prize-winning chemistry.

PolyCera ®：integrating below advantages into one.

• Advantages of ceramic membrane: pollution resistance, temperature resistance of 90°C, oil resistance, and organic solvent resistance

• Advantages of organic membranes: high precision (to nanofiltration), high recovery rate, economy
PolyCera Titan series membranes can withstand pure organic solvents (ethylbenzene, xylene, alcohols, kerosene, etc.)

Project Use

The membrane surface is hydrophilic and oleophobic, easy to clean, and can withstand 1% oil content, reducing pretreatment steps.

Heavy oil is attached to the outer surface of the ultrafiltration membrane

11 - There is thin scale on the surface of the baffle plate
12 - There are oil particles, iron wire, plastic at the end of the ultrafiltration membrane

In order to prevent large particles and impurities in the raw water from entering the test system, a two-layer filter with a precision of 25 mesh is installed at the end of the water intake pipeline, and the surface of the external filter still adheres to heavy oil.

During the test, a large amount of slick oil was floating on the surface of the original water tank. During the period, the IL plastic measuring cup was used to skim the oil, which helped to reduce the impact of this part of the slick on the ultrafiltration membrane. After the oil was removed, a large amount of heavy oil adhered to the surface and bottom of the plastic measuring cup. Bituminous, relatively viscous.
