Birm® is an efficient and economical media for the reduction of dissolved iron and manganese compounds from raw water supplies. It may be used in either gravity fed or pressurized water treatment systems. Birm acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved oxygen (D.O.) and the iron compounds. Birm, acting as a catalyst between the oxygen and the soluble iron compounds, enhances the oxidation reaction of Fe++ to Fe+++ and produces ferric hydroxide which precipitates and may be easily filtered. Birm is not consumed in the iron removal operation and therefore offers a tremendous economic advantage over many other iron removal methods. Features Under the proper conditions, no chemicals to purchase for maintenance. Regenerant not required. Provides an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by backwashing to remove the precipitant. Iron removal efficiency is extremely high. Negligible labor cost: only periodic backwashing required. Durable material with a long life and wide temperature range. Weighs only 36-38 lbs./cu. ft. Spec Sheet Show more
