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)

Removal of:
♦ Iron (Inlet conc. up to. 100 mg/L)
♦ Manganese (Inlet conc. up to 20 mg/L)
♦ Arsenic
♦ Hydrogen sulfide
♦ Uranium, Radium
♦ Heavy Metals
♦ Radionuclide

Best features:
• WQA Certified to meet ANSI/NSF 61 standard for Drinking Water applications
• Very high surface area
• High MnO₂ coating (10%)
• Contains NO crystalline Silica
• No mandatory dosing required
• Light weight media - saves backwash water
• Replacement frequency every 7-10 years

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.

Why Katalox-Light is "The Best" compared to other products in the market?

• Much higher gamma Manganese coating (10%) for better filtration, more service life, while keeping the bulk density close to the density of water 1000 kg/m³ (Katalox-Light Bulk Density: 1060 kg/m³)
• Heavier the media requires higher backwash rates and extra pumps (Energy) to backwash. Velocity of 60 - 98 m/h (25 – 40 gpm/ft²) Backwash and rinse rate is normal for Heavier medias.

Advanced Features of Katalox-Light

Advanced Applications:
• Fracking: Reducing radionuclide waste in fracking wastewater (see detail)
• 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):
