About Separatech Canada Inc.
Separatech Canada Inc. has developed and patented a revolutionary oil-water process separation system. Developed using the company's process invention, the system uses its unique cartridge encapsulated media to separate and recover emulsified and free-floating hydrocarbons from water solutions. The process invention is currently patented in the United Sates and Canada. The process invention is also patent pending in Brazil, France, UK, Italy and The Netherlands and the patent application has been approved by the European PCT Office.
The technology's competitive advantage lies in its small footprint and the ROD media's ability to remove fine oil emulsions (0.5µm-150µm) without the use of chemicals, heat, or long residence times. When comparing either the Capital Expense or Operational Expense of our system, the system costs are significantly less than other existing technologies.
