Although this paper is entitled "Iron in Water and Processes for Its Removal", we will also address manganese removal, since both elements frequently occur together and impart similar objectionable characteristics...
Anthracite Filter Media are filtration materials for turbidity and suspended solids (SS) removal. Since the specific gravity is lighter than that of Filter Sand, it is much used in combination with filter Sand in dual-Media filtration, to consist reverse grain layers after backwashing. In addition, because of high content carbon...
This can be done in a bucket or the filter unit. An easy procedure to follow is to mix one pound of KMnO4 per five gallons of water. Apply the solution to the filter media until it is covered, then allow it to rest overnight. One thing to consider is if...

Activated carbon is a material you cannot do without whether in water treatment, as odor combatant and even for detoxification. With their huge demand in various application areas, today they come in varied forms like fine powder and as granules. In this article, we would talk about the use of...
Ever wondered if the sand in your sand filters for the pool is the same as sand in a sand play box for a child ? Well the answer may surprise you. And is there a difference between an above-ground or an in- ground filtration system for a pool? These are...
Introduction Clean and safe water is a fundamental necessity for human health and well-being. With increasing concerns about water pollution and contamination, effective water treatment methods have become crucial. Among these methods, the role of filter media in water treatment stands out. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the workings...
Sand blasting, also known as abrasive blasting, is a process where fine granular sand is applied using high pressure against a rough surface in order to smooth that surface out. In this process the abrasive material is propelled, either with a liquid or a gas (typically pressurized air) through a...
Improving the quality of water involves disinfection plus purification of untreated surface and ground water.
