Apparatus in fluid communication with a water leg portion of a hydrocarbon- contaminated water, e.g., a water leg portion of an offshore drilling or production platform sump tank for conveying water, separated from oil, into contact with organophilic clay cannisters such that the hydrocarbons and other organic materials commingled with the sump tank water will be adsorbed onto the organophilic clay and detected by the embedded probe in selected cannisters. The water will pass through the clay and will be conveyed back to the ocean water without contamination. At some point in time, the organophilic clay will become "spent" and at a certain "spent level", the saturated condition of the organoclay will be electronically detected by the embedded probe and alarm/control panel. The alarm indicates that the "spent" organophilic clay should be replaced with fresh clay or the spent clay regenerated.
