Ultra-DrainGuard

Oil and Sediment Catch Basin Filter

Test Results (#990119)
(Motor Oil / Water)

 Test Objective:  To determine how much oil is removed from flowing water by the pillow used in the Ultra-DrainGuards – Oil and Sediment model (Polypropylene Pillow)

 Test Description:  A stormwater drain mock-up was made and placed inside of a large sump filled with water and motor oil.  An Oil and Sediment Model Ultra-DrainGuard was placed in the mock up.  A recirculating pump simulated oily stormwater runoff through the DrainGuard for a period of 24 hours.  The DrainGuard was then hung up and allowed to air dry for a period of 96 hours prior to any weights or measurements.

 Test Results:

• Pillow of polypropylene (dry) …....………..................................................... 185.0 g

• DrainGuard without pillow (dry) …………………….……………………….402.7 g.

• Pillow (after 24 hrs. of simulated oily runoff  and 96 hrs. of drying time).......940.7 g.

• DrainGuard without Pillow (after 24 hrs. of simulated oily runoff  and 96 hrs. of drying time)....………………………………………………………………... 794.4 g

Total amount of oil absorbed from water by pillow of polypropylene ….755.7 g.  

Total amount of oil absorbed from water by DrainGuard without pillow…391.7 g.  

Total oil absorbed…………………………………………………….…….1147.4 g. 

Conclusion:  The current polypropylene pillow has the capacity to remove up to

1147.4 g. of oil from stormwater runoff in a 24 hour period.
