Stop Hauling Oily Stormwater. Treat It On Site.

Stormwater collected in secondary containment areas often picks up oil, fuel, suspended solids, metals, and other contaminants. Even a light oil sheen can prevent the water from being discharged.

The result is expensive.

Facilities may need to hire vacuum trucks, haul the water off site, pay disposal fees, and clean the containment area before the next storm. These costs can build quickly across multiple locations.

Coral Innovations offers a simpler approach: remove the oil on site and make the water suitable for discharge once testing confirms it meets applicable permit requirements.

Remove Heavy Oil and Light Sheen

Coral Innovations provides specialized sponge media for different types of oil contamination.

Coralyte™ Oils captures light oils, hydrocarbons, and visible surface sheen that can remain after conventional separation.

OleoSorb® targets heavier oils and allows the captured oil to be removed from the media through compression.

The media can treat stormwater containing anything from a thin surface sheen to more concentrated oil contamination. Water passes through the media while the oil is captured and retained.

A single tote can absorb and recover more than 340 pounds of oil before the media requires servicing or regeneration.

Reduce Vacuum Truck and Disposal Costs

Traditional oily-water management often relies on hauling the entire volume of water away because of a relatively small amount of oil.

Coral Innovations treats the contamination instead of transporting the water.

This can reduce or eliminate costs associated with:

• Vacuum truck mobilization

• Water hauling

• Off-site disposal

• Containment area cleaning

• Production or site delays

• Repeated stormwater management

The greatest savings often occur at sites that regularly collect large volumes of stormwater but contain only small amounts of oil.

Designed for Secondary Containment Areas

The system is well suited for secondary containment areas surrounding:

• Oil and chemical storage tanks

• Fueling and loading areas

• Compressors and processing equipment

• Produced-water systems

• Industrial machinery

• Maintenance facilities

• Utility equipment and transformers

It can also treat oily water collected in sumps, pits, drains, ponds, and other low areas.

Simple Tote or Mobile Trailer Systems

Coral Innovations systems can be deployed as stand-alone filtration totes or as complete mobile treatment units.

A basic installation can include a pump, bag filter, Coralyte media tote, hoses, and discharge connections. The bag filter removes larger suspended material before the water enters the oil-capture media.

For facilities with several treatment locations, the equipment can be mounted on a portable trailer. One system can then move between containment areas, facilities, well pads, or operating sites.

The modular design allows additional totes to be added when higher flow rates, longer treatment times, or multiple contaminants must be addressed.

More Than Oil Removal

Stormwater may contain other contaminants that affect discharge compliance. Coral Innovations also supplies specialized sponge media for:

Metals removal: Captures contaminants such as copper, lead, zinc, cadmium, and other metals.

Phosphorus removal: Reduces phosphorus in industrial water, stormwater, and municipal discharges.

Different media can be used separately or combined into a staged treatment system based on the site’s water quality requirements.

Turn Stormwater Into Dischargeable Water

Oil-contaminated stormwater does not always need to become a waste-hauling problem.

Coral Innovations systems remove the contaminants that prevent discharge. The result is a practical on-site treatment process that can lower disposal costs, reduce truck traffic, and simplify stormwater management across one facility or many sites.
