Hydrosil’s HS-200 is designed to remove oil, heavy metals, and similar organics from water. The HS-200 is manufactured using a safe and naturally occurring element—zeolite. The material is non-hazardous and non-toxic.
The HS-200 series can remove 70% plus of its own weight in hydrocarbons; Therefore, its’ life inside a still bed is much longer than that of other filtration media such as granular activated carbon. The HS-200 series:
Industries that use the HS-200 vary from environmental service companies to wastewater treatment facilities. The HS-200 is commonly used in oil water separators, frac tanks, pump and treat systems, condensate systems, stormwater run-offs, excavation and de-watering projects. Theoretically 5 gallons of diesel fuel can be treated with one cubic foot of media.
Organoclay, also known as HS-200, is a sorbent media which is designed to remove organic components. The media is a naturally occurring mineral (commonly zeolite or bentonite clay) which is chemically alternated to create a unique surface on the mineral. Additives such as cationic surfactants are added to the mineral to modify the surface. By modifying the surface, we create a strong affinity with organic compounds, meaning the media is organophilic. The surface of the media forms a surfactant bilayer which attracts ionic species. Ionic species are components that in solution are grouped as either anionic (anions) or cationic (cations). Anions have a negative charge and cations have a positive charge. The HS-200 has a high cation exchange capacity (CEC). The most common cations include ammonia, sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, many of which are desirable in numerous biological and industrial processes.
Hydrosil has several zeolite based products for water treatment; These products are referred to as the “Organoclay Series”. The Organoclay Series includes products for removing cations, anions, low molecular weight hydrocarbons, high molecular weight hydrocarbons, and select heavy metals.

Hydrosil’s HS-200+ is active capping technology for isolating contaminates (i.e., heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs)) from damaging surrounding aquatic environments such as lakes, rivers, groundwater. The HS-200+ is commonly used in sediment caps for isolating oils, greases, organic and inorganic compounds.
By altering the chemistry of the zeolite based organoclay, Hydrosil enhances the adsorption characteristics of several organic and heavy metal compounds: benzene, phenol, ethylbenzene, and naphthalene. The HS-200+ is organophilic clay which has an oil adsorption capacity that minimally holds 70% of its’ own weight in oils. The material is also effective at removing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).The HS-200+ is installed for in-situ stabilization and permeable reactive barrier (PRB) treatment in groundwater applications.
Hydrosil’s HS-250 is a 50/50 blend by volume of pure organoclay, HS-200, and 6 x 30 tyler mesh anthracite coal. This media is effective at removing oil, heavy metals, and similar organics from water.
The HS-200 is designed to remove fats, oils, greases and various hydrocarbons. For more information on the organoclay, visit the HS-200 product page. The anthracite is of the highest quality of coal with extraordinary hardness and works well with high service flow rates. Anthracite coal is commonly used in combination with other filtration medias. The HS-250 is typically the next step utilized when experiencing excessive back washing, changes in water quality, or changes in flow (plugging) occur.The HS-250 is found in a variety of industries including wastewater treatment, industrial manufacturing, and food and beverage. The Hydrosil blend is typically loaded in drums or tanks for easy pump and treat.
Hydrosil’s HS-250-AC is a 50/50 blend by volume of organoclay, HS-200, and coconut shell activated carbon, HS-AC. The HS-AC is high quality carbon for liquid phase with extraordinary surface area, fine pore structure, high density, and superior hardness. Hydrosil’s HS-200 offers high removal capacity for select pollutants including fats, oils, greases and heavy metals while the HS-AC adsorbs a variety of aromatic and aliphatic compounds. The two products blended together casts a wide net to remove a handful of inorganic and organic compounds.
This HS-250-AC is effective at removing oil, heavy metals, and similar organics from water. The HS-250-AC is used in wastewater treatment, food processing plants, gold purification, and manufacturing facilities.
Hydrosil’s HS-270 is a 30/70 blend by volume of organoclay, HS-200, and 6 x 30 mesh anthracite coal. This media is effective at removing oil, heavy metals, and similar organics from water. The HS-200 is designed to remove fats, oils, greases and various hydrocarbons. The anthracite is of the highest quality of coal with extraordinary hardness and works well with high service flow rates.
The HS-270 is found in a variety of industries including wastewater treatment, and industrial manufacturing.
Hydrosil’s HS-275 is an impregnated granular zeolite that is specifically designed to remove lower molecular weight hydrocarbons. The product is similar to HS-200; However works on removing lower molecular weight organics. Hydrosil’s HS-275 is used in salt water disposal sites, wastewater treatment, reverse osmosis systems, refineries, and manufacturing facilities.
