Hydrocarbon contamination in wastewater is a major problem for industries and the environment. Oils, fuels, and similar pollutants can ruin water quality, hurt ecosystems, and lead to fines if not treated right. Sectors like construction, oil and gas, transportation, and factories often deal with this issue. This wastewater needs proper treatment before it can be safely released.

At Floc Systems Inc., we provide an innovative, chemical-free solution to this issue. Our Tigerfloc flocculants bind hydrocarbons and suspended solids into larger particles that quickly settle, making wastewater treatment faster, easier, and more environmentally responsible.

If your industry needs a cost-effective and compliant way to remove hydrocarbons from wastewater, here’s how Tigerfloc can help.

The Challenge of Hydrocarbon Contamination

Hydrocarbons enter wastewater through various industrial activities:

✔ Construction sites – Fuel leaks from machinery and runoff from contaminated soil.
✔ Oil & gas operations – Produced water, drilling fluids, and equipment washing.
✔ Industrial facilities – Factories generating oily wastewater from manufacturing processes.
✔ Municipal stormwater – Contaminated runoff from roads, parking lots, and vehicle maintenance areas.

If not treated, this polluted water can:

• Poison rivers and lakes, killing fish and plants.
• Clog pipes and drains, causing costly repairs.
• Lead to fines for breaking environmental rules.
• Shutdown work until the site meets regulations..

That’s why efficient hydrocarbon removal is critical for both environmental and business sustainability.

How Tigerfloc Flocculants Solve the Problem

Traditional oil-water separators and filtration methods struggle with small, dispersed hydrocarbon particles, requiring additional chemical treatment to achieve compliance.  Tigerfloc skips harsh chemicals and handles even small pollutants.

Step 1: Natural Flocculation for Hydrocarbon Removal

Unlike chemical treatments that rely on harsh additives, Tigerfloc uses a special natural formula to tackle hydrocarbon contamination. The flocculants act like magnets, grabbing oils, fuels, and tiny dirt particles. They stick them together into visible clumps called “flocs.” Here’s why this works better:

✔ Traps hydrocarbons: The flocs act like nets, wrapping around oils and stopping them from spreading in water.

✔ Makes waste bigger: Small, hard-to-remove particles become large clumps. This lets them separate easily from water during filtration or sedimentation.

✔ Cuts visible pollution: Flocs reduce oily slicks on the surface, making wastewater look cleaner faster.

Step 2: Accelerated Sedimentation & Separation

Once hydrocarbons are bound into flocs, they sink during sedimentation, allowing clean water to separate more efficiently. This process dramatically reduces turbidity and hydrocarbon concentrations in wastewater.

✔ Faster treatment: Quick sinking means less waiting time compared to old methods.

✔ Works with your tools: The clumps fit perfectly with dewatering bags, filter presses, or other systems you already use.

✔ Avoids fines: By cutting hydrocarbon levels, industries meet strict discharge rules set by cities or provinces.

Step 3: Final Filtration for Maximum Clarity

After sedimentation, the water undergoes final filtration to remove any residual contaminants. Floc Systems Inc. offers specialized filtration and dewatering solutions designed to handle stubborn hydrocarbon residues while maintaining sustainability.

✔ Zero oily traces: Eco-friendly filters remove even the smallest residues, so water is safe to release.

✔ Full compliance: Our systems align with Canadian erosion and sediment control laws and federal discharge standards.

✔ Rainproof results: If rain hits your site, treated water won’t wash pollutants back into the environment.

With Tigerfloc, industries can achieve clear, compliant wastewater without relying on chemicals.

Preventing Secondary Pollution & Compliance Risks

Removing hydrocarbons is just the first step. If treated water gets dirty again, you risk fines or harm to nature. Rules require active steps to keep oils and fuels from spreading after treatment.

Key Ways to Prevent Problems
✔ Erosion and Sediment Control: When you use Tigerfloc during dewatering, it stops dirt (and trapped oils) from washing into rivers or lakes. This keeps nearby water safe.
✔ Stormwater Protection: Rain can carry leftover oils into drains. Tigerfloc helps bind tiny particles, cutting the risk of oily runoff during storms.
✔ Meeting Regulations: Our products help industries hit strict limits for hydrocarbons and dirt in wastewater. This avoids fines from cities or federal agencies.

At Floc Systems Inc., we don’t handle on-site work—we provide Tigerfloc products so your team can build custom solutions. Whether it’s a small site or a big factory, our flocculants fit your project’s needs.
