Substrate Considerations:
• Thickness of the layers
• Strength of the materials
• Ability to control downstream
migration
• Effect on hydrocarbon fluid
product as the cellulosic layer
can absorb very minimal
amounts of hydrocarbon fluids
Information gathered per these considerations
can then be compiled and
assessed by a Gelok technical representative
to determine the Gelok offering
or offerings capable of delivering the
desired water removing response.
Gelok can overcome most water removal
challenges by optimizing the
media via SAP type, SAP load, and substrate
selection. Gelok has found that
performance will vary profoundly depending
on the unique combination of
these three factors.
Gelok is able to produce custom
sheet or roll sample goods that can be
used to test a final filter design at very
low cost and minimal volumes. And
once a media type reaches full approval,
Gelok International becomes a
full service absorbent media provider
