Starmnox: High Purity Manganese Dioxide Filter Media

Starmnox is a premium grade filter media made from high purity manganese dioxide, specifically designed to remove iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water. With its strong catalytic properties and ability to operate over a wide pH range, Starmnox ensures efficient contaminant removal with minimal maintenance.

Key Benefits

  • Effective Iron and Manganese Removal: Starmnox excels at removing iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide, ensuring cleaner, clearer water.
  • Catalytic Properties: Its excellent catalytic ability accelerates the oxidation and precipitation of contaminants, enhancing filtration performance.
  • Low Maintenance & Long Lifespan: With no need for chemical regeneration, Starmnox offers a low maintenance solution that reduces operational costs.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Safe for potable water applications and environmentally friendly, with no hazardous byproducts.
  • No Chemical Regeneration: Unlike some media, Starmnox doesn’t require regeneration with potassium permanganate (KMnO₄), simplifying its operation.

Manganese Greensand

Starke Manganese Greensand is a lightweight, highly efficient filter media designed to remove iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and arsenic from water. With the ability to regenerate, this media is cost effective and offers superior contaminant removal for long term water treatment applications.

Key Benefits

  • Superior Contaminant Removal: Manganese Greensand effectively eliminates iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and arsenic, ensuring cleaner water for consumption and use.
  • High Manganese Dioxide Content: With one of the highest MnO₂ content percentages available, it provides outstanding filtration performance.
  • Regenerable: Starke Manganese Greensand can be regenerated using potassium permanganate (KMnO₄), extending its operational life and minimizing media replacement costs.
  • Ease of Use: Simple to install and operate, making it ideal for various filtration systems.

FAQs

Starmnox is a high purity manganese dioxide media that does not require chemical regeneration, while Manganese Greensand is regenerable with potassium permanganate and is designed for longterm contaminant removal.

Starmnox acts as a catalyst, accelerating the oxidation of iron and manganese in water, allowing these contaminants to precipitate out and be filtered.

Yes, both Starmnox and Manganese Greensand are safe for use in drinking water applications.

The frequency of regeneration depends on the water’s iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide content. Typically, regeneration with potassium permanganate is required every few weeks or after significant filtration loads.

Both Starmnox and Manganese Greensand can be integrated into various water treatment systems, including gravity filters, pressure filters, and other standard configurations.
