Birm Iron and Manganese Filter with Autotrol Valve (0.6 to 2.0 m³/hr)
Birm Iron and Manganese Filter with Autotrol Valve (0.6 to 2.0 m³/hr)
The Birm Iron and Manganese Filter with Autotrol Valve is a highly efficient solution for removing iron and manganese through a catalytic oxidation process. Built with Birm media, this system ensures dependable performance for residential and commercial water treatment applications, providing clean and safe water for your needs.
Why Choose the Birm Iron and Manganese Filter?
The Autotrol Valve and Birm media combination make this filter an effective and reliable choice for reducing iron and manganese content while minimizing operational costs.
Key Features & Advantages
-
Cost-Effective Performance
- Operates without the need for costly chemical regenerants or additives.
- Lightweight yet durable media lasts 2-3 years with proper maintenance.
-
Efficient Iron and Manganese Removal
- Removes iron with a pH range of 7-8.5 and manganese with a pH range of 8-9.
- Dissolved oxygen must be 15% of the iron and manganese content for optimal results.
-
Environmentally Friendly
- Requires no chlorine or chemical oxidation steps, ensuring eco-friendly operation.
- Backwashing is sufficient for maintaining system performance.
-
Ease of Installation
- Supplied partially assembled for shipping, with all components and clear instructions included.
-
Ideal for Low-Maintenance Systems
- Periodic backwashing is all that’s required to keep the system operational.
Unique Advantages of Birm Media
- Acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance oxidation of dissolved iron and manganese.
- No oil, hydrogen sulfide, or polyphosphates required for operation.
- Performs well under a wide temperature range (up to 38°C).
Operating Criteria
For optimal performance, ensure water conditions meet the following requirements:
| Criteria | Iron Removal | Manganese Removal |
|---|---|---|
| pH Range | 7.0 - 8.5 | 8.0 - 9.0 |
| Alkalinity | >2x sulfate and chloride concentration | >2x sulfate and chloride concentration |
| Organic Matter | <4-5 ppm | <4-5 ppm |
| Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.) | ≥15% of iron/manganese content | ≥15% of iron/manganese content |
| Chlorine Concentration | <0.5 ppm | <0.5 ppm |
| No Hydrogen Sulfide, Oil, or Polyphosphates | Required | Required |
| Max Operating Temperature | 38°C | 38°C |
Note: For water with pH below 6.8, pretreatment with pH-adjusting additives such as soda ash, Corosex®, or Calcite is recommended.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Media Type | Birm® Media |
| Backwash Rate | 10-12 gpm/sq. ft. |
| Bed Depth | 30-36 inches |
| Freeboard | Minimum 50% of bed depth |
| Backwash Bed Expansion | 20-40% of bed depth |
| Media Life Expectancy | 2-3 years |
| Operating Temperature Range | 35-100°F (2-38°C) |
How It Works
Birm media acts as a catalyst, enabling oxidation reactions between dissolved oxygen and soluble iron or manganese. These contaminants are converted into insoluble ferric hydroxides or manganese oxides, which are then easily removed through filtration. To maintain efficiency, the system requires periodic backwashing to eliminate trapped impurities.
Applications
- Residential and commercial water treatment systems
- Gravity-fed or pressurized setups
- Ideal for environments requiring cost-effective and eco-friendly water filtration solutions
