Pyrolox® Advantage is a lightweight, coated filter media engineered to deliver:
- Market leading removal of iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and arsenic
- Lower pump specification to achieve same bed expansion
- If regenerated periodically, longest lasting media between regeneration/ backwashing
- Cleanest start-up (virtually no start up fines) of any lightweight media
Pyrolox® Advantage can be used to filter a range of soluble inorganic impurities from raw water by oxidation to insoluble form, precipitation, and flocculation. The media can be used in a catalytic configuration with a supplemental oxidant (eg. OCl– or dissolved O2) or as a depleted resource requiring regeneration or replacement (eg. cartridge).
Iron (Fe2+) & Manganese (Mn2+) Removal
The most common application for this media is iron and manganese removal. Manganese minerals have a well-documented record of capability for removal of these species. Pyrolox® Advantage removes soluble ions by the same mechanism as natural ore products, but faster and with better efficiency at low contaminant concentration.
Engineered to be naturally catalytic
Pyrolox® Advantage is the only lightweight, coated filter media with no pretreatment required:
