Birm Media - Black, 0.5 - 1.5 Mm | High Iron Removal Efficiency, Regeneration Not Required, Durable Long-life Material

Birm Media is an efficient and economical media for the reduction of dissolved iron and manganese compounds from raw supplies. Birm Media acts as an insoluble catalysts to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen (D.O.) and the iron compounds

In ground waters the dissolved iron is usually in the ferrous bicarbonate state due to excess of free carbon dioxide and is not filterable. Birm, acting as a catalyst between the oxygen and the soluble iron compounds, enhances the oxidation reaction of Fe(2) to Fe(3) and produces ferric hydroxide which precipitates and may be easily filtered.

The physical characteristics of Birm Media provide an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by backwashing to remove the precipitant. Birm is not consumed in the iron removal operation and therefore offers a tremendous economic advantage over many other iron removal methods.
