Oil & Fuel Heavyweight Absorbent Pads (Pack of 100)

Designed to absorb and contain hydrocarbon spills including oil, fuel, solvents, petrol & diesel. These absorbents repel water, meaning they are ideal for outdoor environments and when spills occur on waterways such as drains, ports, marinas, harbours, lakes and rivers. The hydrophobic (water repellent) absorbents will float, even when fully saturated with oil. The ultra-absorbent filling on the sock makes them perfect for containing and absorbing oil and fuels on your site. A 1.2m sock can absorb up to 4.5 litres.

The General Purpose Heavyweight Pads absorb and contain all non-aggressive fluids of oil and water base. They are perforated along the centre allowing them to be easily divided so you can get the right size pad for the spill. This assists in placing them in small and confined spaces. Pads are sold in an easy-to-use dispenser box or plastic wrapped for cost effectiveness. Each Heavyweight Pad will absorb up to 1 Litre!

Dewatering Bags, also known as Sediment Filter Bags, are perfect for pumping and filtering sediment laden water from construction or mining sites. They provide a cost effective and simple method of removing silt and heavy particles from excavation water. Manufactured from strong non-woven geotextile which allows water to filter freely through the bag while retaining solids. Flow rate of 80L/m2/sec, subject to variation during usage. Featuring a 100mm diameter hose inlet as standard, the Dewatering Bags can be custom made almost any size to suit different project requirements.

The Silt and Hydrocarbon Filter Bags include an oil absorbent filtration media inside the geotextile bag. They are used to dewater an area containing both hydrocarbon and sediment contamination.

The GuardDog drain filter offers a revolutionary approach to sediment control. It fits over most stormwater drains to effectively prevent silt, sediment, hydrocarbons and debris from entering our waterways and ocean.

• Traps sediment and hydrocarbons
• Improves water receiving quality
• 100% recycled absorbent media
• 53 micron filtration (0.053mm)
• Absorbs up to 12 litres of hydrocarbons
• Lightweight, low profile and durable
• Side-entry GuardDog features aluminium side strips for a perfect fit around kerbs

Filtration Innovation

The GuardDog works by using an innovative absorbent media called Spilltration® Husky, which is made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste. The material’s fibres absorb hydrocarbons and trap sediment particles as small as 53 microns (0.053mm), finer than a human hair. Spilltration® Husky also delivers exceptional water flow characteristics due to its unique construction, which allows water to wick through, even when saturated with oil.

Performance by Design

The GuardDog features a heavy-duty polyethylene mesh top for drive over durability. The Spilltration® Husky absorbent media removes and traps oils, fuels, sheens and sediment. A raised centre helps to create a damming effect and improve performance in high flow situations. Overflow port prevents water from backing up in heavy rain events. Eyelets provide a means to secure the GuardDog to metal grates with metal ties or concrete bolts.

Suitable for Most Drain Types

The standard GuardDog drain filter is designed to fit most box and v-grate drains. The side-entry GuardDog is wider and features aluminium strips to contour around most kerb inlet drains with or without grates. Custom sizing is also available by request.

When to use one?

The GuardDog is ideal for protecting drains during construction activity. It can also be used in carparks, manufacturing facilities, waste management, rail yards, refineries. The GuardDog helps to improve environmental compliance and avoid penalty notices.

Installation Versatility

The GuardDog can be installed in a variety of ways. It can be screwed directly into the concrete, secured to drain grates via metal cable ties or using high-powered magnets. See our installation guide to find out more.

Superior to Alternatives

Alternatives such as silt socks and coir logs do not trap hydrocarbons, and drain pollution guards can become overloaded to block drains and cause flooding. Unlike silt socks the GuardDog will not split if driven over – it’s a low profile solution that’s foot and vehicle traffic friendly.

ISC Verified Innovation

The GuardDog drain filter was verified by the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) as Australia-first innnovation for its use on the Monash Freeway upgrade. It is listed on iSupply and may assist in obtaining IS Credits for Receiving Water Quality (ISv1.2 Dis-1 / ISv2.1 Env-1), Diversion from Landfill (ISv1.2 Was-2), Innovation Challenge 8 (ISv1.2 & ISv2.1 Inn-1).

The DamSock is a sustainable silt sock alternative that filters contaminated stormwater runoff, trapping sediment and removing hydrocarbons. The DamSock works by forming a barrier against contaminated stormwater. This damming effect allows cleaned water to seep through, free of sediment and hydrocarbons.

 As pressure builds behind the DamSock, the more effective it becomes. The DamSock is ideal for trapping sediment in high wind areas, including airports and coastal areas. It is flexible, contours to uneven surfaces and can be used to create a containment dam around spills. Optional joiner kits enable a custom length DamSock to suit your requirements.
