Birm, an economical and highly effective material which serves as a valuable solution for the removal of iron and manganese through oxidation in water treatment applications. This versatile medium capitalises on the natural oxidation process, making it a cost-efficient choice for addressing many common water quality issues.
To effectively remove iron, Birm requires a minimum pH level of 7, while for manganese removal, a pH level of 8 or higher is essential. The Birm media utilises dissolved oxygen present within water to facilitate the oxidation of these metals. It acts as a catalyst in the oxidation process, ensuring that it remains unaltered and unspent. This quality sets Birm apart, as it eliminates the need for frequent regeneration or replenishment, making it a low-maintenance filtration media.
Birm provides an additional benefit as it doubles as a filter, effectively removing turbidity from the water. It helps to clear the water of any suspended particulates, enhancing its clarity and overall quality.
The expected media lifespan typically ranges from 2 to 3 years, making Birm a long-lasting and cost-effective choice for water treatment and quality enhancement.
