Birm Iron Filtration Media

Birm Iron & Manganese Removal Media

Efficient and cost-effective filtration for iron and manganese removal

Birm® is a high-performance filtration media designed to remove dissolved iron and manganese from raw water supplies. It works as an insoluble catalyst, enhancing the reaction between dissolved oxygen (D.O.) and iron compounds, making them easy to filter. Ideal for gravity-fed and pressurized water treatment systems, Birm® provides an economical solution without the need for chemical regeneration.

Key Benefits:

• Removes iron and manganese efficiently – Enhances oxidation for effective filtration.
• No chemical regeneration required – Reduces maintenance and operational costs.
• Long-lasting media – Birm® is not consumed during the filtration process.
• Easy backwashing – Simple cleaning process to remove accumulated precipitate.
• Versatile application – Works in a wide range of pH conditions for both iron and manganese removal.

Optimal Performance Conditions:

• pH requirements:
  • Iron removal: pH above 6.8
  • Manganese removal: pH 8.0–9.0 (or below 8.5 if iron is also present)
• Dissolved oxygen level: Should be at least 15% of total iron and manganese content

Birm® provides a reliable, low-maintenance solution for iron and manganese removal, ensuring cleaner, better-quality water with minimal effort.
