Our range of filters can contain several types of media and gravel under bedding
depending on the application.
MULTIMEDIA FILTRATION is used for the removal of un-dissolved or
suspended particles. Typically these filters remove particles 5-15 microns in
size or larger. All media included in our filters are carefully selected according
to client’s requirement, so the media retains its stratification during backwash
and rinse.
BIRM is used for the removal of iron and manganese. High chlorine levels in
the water can damage the media.
GREENSAND is used for the removal of soluble iron, manganese, hydrogen
sulphide, arsenic and radium. High chlorine levels in the water can damage
the media. Minimum pH for use of this material is 6.2.
MTM sulphide, arsenic and radium. High chlorine levels in the water can
damage the media. This media requires regeneration with KMnO4.
ACTIVATED CARBON is used to remove contaminants and impurities, utilizing
chemical adsorption. Carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine,
sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water.
CALCITE is a natural crushed and screened calcium carbonate media which is
used to neutralise low pH waters. Calcium carbonate is slowly dissolved into
the water reducing the risk of corrosion.
GRANULAR FERRIC HYDROXIDE (GFH) is an adsorbent material used for the
selective removal of arsenic, phosphate, selenium and other heavy metals.
