Key Features

  • High MnO₂ Content (≥ 80%) — Delivers exceptional catalytic activity and oxidation rate.

  • Chemical-Free Operation — Works effectively with aeration or chlorination pretreatment.

  • Fast Iron & Manganese Removal — Rapid oxidation of Fe²⁺ and Mn²⁺ to insoluble oxides.

  • Long Service Life — Durable granules resist attrition and fouling.

  • Low Backwash Requirement — Reduces water loss and operational cost.

Applications

  • Iron and manganese filtration in borehole or municipal water systems

  • Hydrogen sulfide removal and odor control

  • Industrial and commercial groundwater treatment
