No Chemical Dependency !

Real installations from different part of the world have been reported to remove unchallenged amounts of iron. In a few extreme cases multi-stage Katalox-Light filtration systems have been used without the use of any chemicals to remove iron with inlet concentration of as high as 60 - 100 mg/L (ppm).

These astounding findings are being further investigated to find the co-rrelations between removal limit and underlying ORP, pH and other possible governing characteristics.

Eliminate iron, sulfur (hydrogen sulfide), Manganese and particulates. 

Chemcical Free. Katalox only needs to be back washed and average of every other day. Works well in pH ranges of 5.8 and above. 

Media Description: High content(10%) gamma Manganese dioxide (MnO2) coated ZEOSORB 

Katalox-Light® Removal methods:
1. Mechanical Filtration (fine particles, TSS, Turbidity etc.)
2. Catalytic precipitation and sorption (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb etc.)
3. Adsorbtion (flocculant formation and adsorption of As, Heavy Metals, Radionuclides)

Advanced Applications:

 
• Fracking: Reducing radionuclide waste in fracking wastewater
• Industrial waste water: 
• Cooling tower re-circulation: dramatically reducing the blow-down water and using part of it in re-circulation process
• Reverse Osmosis Pre-treatment: Increasing the membrane life-span 3-4 times more
• Cyanide removal
• Removal of Arsenic by the method of co-precipitation (see detail)
• Radionuclide removal (Radium, Uranium):

As a side note : If you have both Iron of at least 1 p.p.m. Katalox will remove up to 50 p.p.b. of Arsenic. The arsenic is removed using the Iron Oxide that binds to the media.
