Centek Oil & Fuel Absorber Products
Centek's Advanced Marine Bilge Filtration Technology
When it comes to protecting marine environments from hydrocarbon contamination, Centek has established itself as an innovator in oil and fuel absorber products specifically designed for the demanding marine environment. The company's specialized solutions address one of boating's most persistent environmental challenges: preventing oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel from entering waterways through bilge pump discharge.
Patented BilgeKleen Filter Systems
Centek's flagship BilgeKleen filter system automatically removes oil, gas, diesel fuel and other hydrocarbon pollutants from bilge water before discharge, using a filtering medium that binds to hydrocarbons while allowing water to pass through freely, capturing over 99.9% of hydrocarbon pollutants with no increase in pressure to the bilge pump. This patented technology represents a significant advancement for boat owners who need reliable contamination control without compromising bilge pump performance.
The system uses patented MYCELX chemistry to provide total protection in the bilge, a proven filtration technology that has gained recognition in marine environmental protection circles. Centek Industries has developed the BilgeKleen system to filter hydrocarbon pollution from bilge and generator water discharge, making it suitable for a wide range of marine applications beyond standard bilge systems.
Comprehensive Product Range for Every Vessel
Centek's oil and fuel absorber product line extends across multiple system configurations to accommodate different vessel types and bilge requirements. A variety of BilgeKleen system sizes are available from Centek's worldwide dealer network to fit almost any bilge space or application, from runabouts to megayachts and commercial vessels. The standard BilgeKleen 8-BK-1 kit includes both filter and housing along with absorbent pads, providing complete bilge protection in a single package designed for small boats and runabouts.
For marina operators and boat service facilities, Centek developed the BilgeTek Dockside Bilge Pumpout System for use at marinas and boat service yards to remove and clean oil and fuel polluted bilge water from boats, featuring a stainless steel twin chamber design for both particulate and hydrocarbon removal that incorporates MYCELX's industry proven oil sheen and fuel removal cartridges to produce sparkling clean water from even the most oil contaminated bilge water. This professional-grade system is available in both portable cart-mounted and permanent dock-mounted configurations.
Why Marine Professionals Choose Centek
The systems install easily to the bilge pump discharge line and include absorbent pads for the bilge sump area to capture harmful contaminants where they form, making installation straightforward for both DIY boat owners and professional marine technicians. The filter medium's ability to maintain bilge pump flow rates while achieving exceptional hydrocarbon removal efficiency has made Centek's absorber products particularly valuable for vessels with older engines prone to minor leaks, where preventing environmental discharge is both a legal requirement and environmental responsibility.
Replacement filter elements are readily available, ensuring that Centek's bilge filtration systems can provide long-term protection with routine maintenance. Whether you're outfitting a weekend runabout or maintaining a commercial vessel fleet, Centek's specialized oil and fuel absorber products deliver proven environmental protection backed by patented filtration technology.
