Abstract
Water containing traces of oil is cleaned by passing through a porous bed containing oleophilic bodies and oil imbibing bodies. Oil is collected on the surface of the oleophilic bodies and removed from the oleophilic bodies by the oil imbibing bodies. Such beds have a high capacity for oil retention while maintaining separating efficiency.
