BirmŪ is an efficient and economical method of removing dissolved iron and manganese compounds from raw water supplies. It may be used in either gravity fed or pres sur ized water treatment systems. BirmŪ acts as an insoluble catalyst to enhance the reaction between dissolved ox y gen (D.O.) and the iron compounds. In ground waters, the dissolved iron is usually in the ferrous bicarbonate state due to an excess of free carbon dioxide and is not filterable. BirmŪ, acting as a catalyst between the oxygen and the soluble iron com pounds, enhances the oxidation reaction of Fe++ to Fe+++ and produces ferric hydroxide which precipitates and may be easily filtered. The phys i cal characteristics of BirmŪ provide an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by back

washing to remove the precipitant. BirmŪ is not consumed in the iron removal and therefore offers a tremendous economic advantage over many other iron removal methods. BirmŪ may also be used for manganese removal with the same dependability as iron removal. In these ap pli ca tions the water to be treated should have a pH of 8.0 to 9.0 for the best results. If the water also contains iron, the pH should be below 8.5. High pH conditions may cause the formation of colloidal iron which is very difficult to filter out. All other conditions remain the same for either manganese or iron removal.

Advantages:  Under the proper conditions, no chemicals to pur chase for maintenance. Regeneration not required.  Iron removal effi ciency is extremely high  Negligible Labor Cost - only periodic back washing required  Durable material with a long life and wide tem per a ture range  Weighs only 46-50 lb./cubic foot.

Alkalinity should be greater than two times the com bined sulfate and chloride concentration  pH - 6.8+  Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.) content must be equal to at least 15% of the iron (or iron and manganese con tent)  Bed Depth - 30 - 36 in.  Backwash Rate - 10-12 gpm. sq. ft.  Backwash Bed Expansion - 35 -50% of bed depth  Service Flow rate - 3.5 - 5 gpm. sq. ft. intermittent fl ow rates and/or favorable conditions may allow higher flow rates
