Purozite

Multi-Use Filter Media by Starke

Purozite is a highly effective and versatile filter media, boasting a large specific surface area and the ability to selectively adsorb various contaminants, including ammonia, dissolved organic matter, and multiple cations. Its advanced adsorption capabilities make it ideal for both drinking water and wastewater treatment applications. Additionally, Purozite is known for its favorable hydraulic properties, allowing it to handle large volumes of water efficiently.

Compared to alternative adsorbents, Purozite stands out due to its exceptional stability, superior filtration performance, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness. It is widely used in applications such as:

  • Water Softening
  • Ammonia Removal (from municipal wastewater, livestock farms, pond water, and swimming pools)
  • Nitrogen Removal
  • Heavy Metal Removal (from natural water, acid mine water, and industrial wastewater)
  • Dissolved Organic Matter and Color Removal
  • Radioactive Substance Extraction
  • Desalination of Seawater
