Calcite is crushed and screened white marble media that can inexpensively be used to neutralize acidic or low pH waters to a neutral, less corrosive effluent. Upon contact with Calcite, acidic waters slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate to raise the pH which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead, and other metals found in typical plumbing systems.

Depending on pH, water chemistry, and service flow, the Calcite bed will have to be periodically replenished as the Calcite is depleted. Sufficient contact time is required for satisfactory results. Calcite is filled in a floor-standing reinforced fiberglass cylinder, equipped with an IN/OUT threaded valve.

Increased levels of Iron and Manganese concentrations are the main cause of drinking water discolouration. Furthermore, discoloured water also leads to coloured stains on laundries and sinks, increased treatment costs, reduced treatment capacity and compromised equipment. DMI65 removal technology is based on Manganese Dioxide catalytic conversion of Iron/Manganese into higher valence insoluble oxy-hydroxides that are then filtered out with an automated backwash filter valve. The filter unit comprises a floor-standing reinforced fiberglass cylinder fitted with a time-set automated backwash valve.

Solution

DMI-65® is a revolutionary filtration media with a proven track record in the removal of Iron, Manganese, Arsenic as well as Aluminium and other heavy metals under certain conditions. The media operates with a continuous injection of sodium hypochlorite at low residual levels (0.1 to 0.3 ppm) which eliminates the need for regeneration with Potassium Permanganate. The injection of Sodium Hypochlorite keeps the media free from bacterial bio-fouling or slime growth. Iron and manganese exist in bore water as bicarbonate. DMI-65 acts as an oxidation catalyst, it facilitates oxidation – precipitation – filtration

Filter Performance

Due to the infusion technology and the micro-porous structure of the matrix material the DMI-65 has an increased surface area and a higher load capacity for targeted iron and manganese. The unique microporous structure of DMI-65 efficiently removes dissolved iron to almost undetectable levels as low as 0.001 PPM and manganese to 0.001 PPM, with a small amount of chlorine and attention to pH.

Equipment Maintenance

An electrical connection is needed. It is essential to ensure incoming and outgoing water connections, as well as wastewater discharge lines.

Automatic Timer Control

The backwashing process is initiated by the elapsed time since the last backwash

Feed water bypass to service during backwash –

ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESS DMI-65 is an extremely powerful silica sand-based catalytic water filtration media

  • Certified by the Water Quality Association in accordance with NSF/ANSI 61
  • High Oxidation Capacity
  • Replacement frequency every 5-10 years
  • Effective in removing up to 15 ppm iron and manganese. At higher  iron and manganese  levels a pre-oxidation stage is recommended

Solution

Aquamat ASF units are meant for reduction of mechanical impurities, it is based on filtration media that filters mechanical admixtures from water. These filters can be used in household and industrial systems, which use heavily mechanically contaminated water. Such water would be uneconomic to clean with traditional cartridge type mechanical filters because of their capacity being too small and would have to be changed very often.

Filter Performance

As a filtration media AFM is filled in two layers. The equipment is simple and operates continuously due to the automatic valve, the valve initiates automatic backwashing / flushing periodically to ensure that the filter media stays in good condition. After rinsing, the filter media is recovered and is able to continue the water filtration process. The frequency may vary depending on water consumption and pollution levels. The process does not require any reagents or frequent costly filtration materials replacement

Equipment Maintenance

Electrical connection is needed. It is essential to ensure incoming and outgoing water connections, as well as wastewater discharge line.
