Industrial Uses Walnut Shell(nut plug)
Ground-up walnut shells go into products used for metal cleaning
and polishing, oil well drilling, paint and explosives. They are
used to clean jet engines, electronic circuit boards, ships and
auto gear systems. The paint industry uses the shells to make
plaster-effect paints. The ground-up shell also can be used as a
natural stain. The shells are used as filler in dynamite.
Walnut shell filters are simple and reliable, compared to many
filtration techniques designed to remove oil contaminants and
suspended solids from water. There are no chemicals, very few
moving parts and the walnut shell filter media can be used over and
over again. Walnut shell filters can take water with up to 100
parts per million of contaminants and reduce this level to under 5
parts per million. This is cleaner than normal drinking water.
These unique natural filters have applications in the chemical,
petrochemical, metal working and power generation industries, but
they are especially valuable in offshore drilling applications. The
great thing about the latest generation of Walnut Shell Filters is
that they are small and light enough to be installed on a ship.
Couple this with the fact that walnut shell filters can be
specifically designed for offshore use to remove more than 98
percent of the contaminants passing through it, and it has an
amazing large scale application. These filters can be used to treat
oil field produced water, refinery wastewater, and other types of
wastewater.
