Filter media 30 kg bags filter bed for iron and manganese removal
The KATALOX LIGHT is a filter bed used to remove iron and manganese from water in high concentrations.
It is based on zeolites with a catalytic coating of manganese dioxide (MnO2). Thanks to its composition, this product exerts an oxidizing action on iron and manganese in drinking water so that they precipitate inside the filter, obtaining treated water with iron and manganese values below the required limits.
This filtering product is not consumed during the iron and manganese reduction process in the deferrizer filter, which gives it a long useful life. For filter maintenance, the filter can be cleaned by means of automatic backwashing in a simple and wear-free way.
Fields of application for KATALOX LIGHT
- Biocidal effects for drinking water disinfection
- Water disinfection and iron removal in swimming pools
- Iron and manganese removal
- COD and BOD removal in waste water
- Chlorine and taste control of surface water
- Removal of chemical compounds such as sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, polysulfides, etc.
IMA water Technology supplies it in 30 Kg bags so that the customer can use them in new installations or for maintenance replacement in existing installations.
If you need the complete supply of complete deferrizing filters, our company is a manufacturer of industrial filtration systems that are shipped fully assembled with the filtering products and ready to connect the water line in a simple way.
The KATALOX compound is the most efficient filter bed to treat water with iron and manganese in the market today, having a performance far superior to standard filtration.
Advantages of using KATALOX LIGHT
Due to its catalytic coating and its manufacturing process, KATALOX has unique advantages over conventional iron removal media such as pyrolusite or BIRM
It has the highest iron, manganese and turbidity absorption capacity available on the market.
Its working life is around 10 years, with no need for replacement or regeneration.
Maintenance and electricity costs are very low as it works like any conventional activated carbon or sand filtration system.
It can work at flow rates up to 75% higher, which makes the size of the filtration system smaller and therefore the maintenance and space requirements are lower.
Amount to be used for water deferrification
Each 650 kg can treat 10 m3/h of water with dissolved iron concentrations exceeding the discharge limit of 0.2 ppm.
Thanks to these performances it is possible to reduce the filter bed volume and the filter size up to 200% compared to other filter beds such as pyrolusite.
These loading values will depend directly on the concentrations of iron or manganese present in the well water, and it may be necessary to increase the kilograms of loading in cases where the concentration of these compounds is higher than 5-10 ppm.
Operating parameters of water deferrizer medium
The recommended working conditions of the KATALOX are:
- PH of inlet water 7 for 90-95% iron and manganese removal efficiency.
- Inlet water PH 7.5 for an iron and manganese removal efficiency of 95-99%.
- Washing speed 25-35 m/h
- Iron removal range 0-50 ppm
- Manganese removal range 0-20 ppm
- Filtration degree 2 to 3 microns
