GREENSAND - Iron, Manganese, & Hydrogen Sulfide Removal
Manganese
Greensand is formulated from a glauconite greensand and is capable of
reducing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from water through
oxidation and filtration. When
the oxidizing capacity power of the Manganese Greensand bed is
exhausted, the bed has to be regenerated with a weak potassium
permanganate (KMnO4) solution thus restoring the oxidizing capacity of
the bed.
- Iron reduction over wide pH range
- Effective reduction of hydrogen sulfide
- Low attrition rate for long-lasting service life
- Regeneration with Potassium Permanganate required
- pH range of 6.2 - 8.5
- Iron range of up to15ppm
- Hydrogen sulfide range of up to 5ppm
- Service flow rate of 5 gpm/sq ft (intermittent to 10 gpm/sq ft)
- Backwash flow rate of 10 gpm/sq ft
*** Important! - To ensure the proper operation of your iron filter, be sure that when sizing your iron filter system your well pump can deliver at least 20% more water than the backwash requirement of your intended system.
