Features:

Filtersorb® CT

A Combined Treatment of Cationic and Anionic Scale for Water Softening and Scale Prevention

Problem:
The formation of heavy deposits of calcium and magnesium, silicate, and sulfate scale has become a major operational issue for domestic, industrial, and all commercial applications. The scale is of such low solubility that the occurred deposition cannot be cleaned. If not treated, this scale can rapidly lead to severely impaired productivity.

Solution:
FILTERSORB CT is the best way to treat both anions and cations in hard water, which provides safe treatment of scale with 100 times more power. Works in a nucleation process, where the media absorbs cations from its surroundings, in the form of crystals, and releases CO2 in the form of gas by splitting the gas molecule, like in photosynthesis.

Result:
Calcium and Magnesium is absorbed from hard water on the surface and released in the form of CaCO crystals.

Katalyst-Light®

Advanced Catalytic Filtration Media formerly known as Katalox-Light

Why should you use Katalyst-Light® instead of any sand products?:
• Better filtration (3 microns), means crystal clear water.

• Removal of hydrogen sulfide: better drinking water, no odor, no bad taste, no more irritation to skin and eyes.

• Because of its very high surface area, the backwash rate and frequency are minimal, therefore saving water up to 50% than conventional products.

Advantages:

• High content MnO2 coating (10%)

• High surface area

• Contains NO crystalline sillica

• Light weight – providing significant savings on backwash water

• Higher filtration rates

• Filtration of sand, sediment and suspended solids down to 3 microns

• Effective reduction of arsenic, zinc, copper, lead, radium, uranium and radionuclides and other heavy metals

• Media replacement every 7-10 years

• No disinfection by-product

• No mandatory KMnO2, chlorine, or chlorine dioxide dosing

• Low operational costs

• Unique product, unmatched by our competitors

What is Katalyst-Light?
Katalyst-Light is a revolutionary advanced filtration media developed in Germany. Its composition sets it apart from the other filter media (like sand, BIRM, greensand plus, manganese greensand, etc.) currently available in water treatment industries. Katalyst-Light® is engineered with a unique MnO2 coating technique on ZEOSORB, providing a lighter weight, higher filtration surface, extended service life, and a more reliable performance than any other existing granular filter media.

PHA® MEDIA STABILIZER

Easy, Low Impact pH Adjustment

Introducing PHA ® Media Stabilizer, a new pH adjust media for optimum removal of anions like Arsenic, Fluoride and Cyanide. As pH changes, the charge associated with the arsenic anion also changes. The Arsenic anion carries a single negative charge at or below pH 7, but it loses a proton at higher pH, resulting in a doubly charged anion. The singly charged anion is adsorbed more effectively from a solution than the doubly charged species.

In a similar manner, the charge state on the surface of the adsorbent varies with pH. Titanium oxide has a positive surface charge below a pH of 5, and a negative surface charge at higher pH. Likewise, an iron oxide adsorbent has a positive charge below a pH of ~7, and a negative charge at higher pH.

If pH is below the pHpzc value, the surface charge of adsorbent would be positive, hence the anions can be adsorbed. When pH is over the pHpzc value, their surfaces become negatively charged and incompatible for adsorbing anionic components.

This variation in adsorbent surface charge can explain why the adsorption capacity for arsenic is so sensitive to pH changes in the common drinking water range of 7.0 to 8.5.

It is easy to see how both effects — the doubly charged arsenic anion and the negative surface charge of the adsorbents could work together to dramatically reduce efficiency at higher pH.

Oxidation – Adsorption – Filtration

RED-OXY® TREATMENT

A revolution for all water treatment, including wastewater. The treatment of water of any kind with RED-OXY ® has shown the best results for the removal of turbidity, color, odor, BOD, COD, and inactivation of bacteria. In all waters, RED-OXY ® produced the highest quality of final water, predominantly due to its simultaneous action as an adsorbent, oxidant, and disinfectant. Working as an adsorbent, RED-OXY ® produces the best quality of final water compared to all other adsorbents, based on iron or aluminum. The advantage of using RED-OXY ® is never having to change the adsorbent, thus producing minimal waste and making RED-OXY ® a promising adsorbent solution for all waters, including wastewater.

Fast. Safe. Cost-Effective.

RED x + OXY x and KATALOXLIGHT ® , both with Formula FeO 4 -2 + MnO 4 -2 , are considered to have the same formula named tetrahedral structured ions. Tetrahedral FeO 4 -2 produced with the system RED x having the highest oxidation and reduction potential in acidic solution, with its ferrate ions, is the strongest oxidant and capable of removing inorganic and organic impurities within a few seconds of reaction. The ferrate will generate iron ions and oxygen molecules.

The oxidation-reduction reaction is the strongest reaction, with a particular significance in the entire water treatment industry, due to the lack of by-products.

After the oxidation of all organics including inorganics, the final left over is the ferric ion. To maximize the valuable ferric iron, the solution of ADSORB x is dosed to create the floc and catch the inorganic precipitates of cations and adsorb anions, and all suspended particles, including colloids.

RED x , OXY x and ADSORB x is unlike any other solution due to the level of safety, convenience, versatility, cost saving, and environmentally-conscious capabilities.

 

Crystolite

Microfiltration Media, SDI Removal

As a global leader in absorbents technology and iron and manganese removal filtration, Watch Water® has developed a unique industrial water and wastewater treatment filtration solution.

For micro filtration, Crystolite™ Filtration Media (CFM) is a robust, long-life back-washable filter media. Crystolite™ Filtration Media meets the needs of all industrial, municipal, residential, and water reuse, for any application. This unique, high-capacity media is designed to reduce the waste of expensive cartridges and plastic filter housings.

Applications:

• Ammonia removal

• Trace heavy metal removal

• Pretreatment of RO & RO reclaim

• Power stations

• Steel and iron mils

• Zero blown down

• High solids wastewater

• Zero blown down

   Cooling towers

   Boiler water

• Swimming pools

• Circulation plants for

• Plating processes

• Printed circuits

Benefits to Reducing SDI:

When Crystolite™ is used to reduce SDI to a reverse osmosis or ultra-filtration, operating a Crystolite™ filtration system will immediately yield a significant process improvement. Typically resulting in a much longer ultra-filtration or reverse osmosis membrane life, reduced cleaning cycles, chemicals costs, reduced antiscalant, and less membrane blockage. Crystolite™ media provides better filtration and is a cost-effective alternative to changing filter cartridges on a weekly or daily basis. For solids removal up to 0.5 microns, Crystolite™ systems offer a compact alternative to extensive membrane systems which require significant electrical and chemical costs.
