Pure Aqua Resin Media https://aquacomponents.sa/product/pure-aqua-resin-media/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:48:37 +0000 https://aquacomponents.sa/product/pure-aqua-resin-media/ Pure Aqua resin media are designed to eliminate unwanted minerals that lead to water pollution such as hydrogen sulfide, iron, manganese, arsenic, and radium which can be found underground. The surface of the filter media incorporates manganese dioxide which effectively removes manganese and iron, while the characteristics within the media (silica sand) prevents breakdowns from occurring due to low amounts of TDS, and hard minerals. Our filter media works efficiently in high operating temperatures and differential pressures as compared to conventional manganese greensand filters. These superior qualities allow for extended run times before backwashing is required, including an increase in safety. What further separates our filter media from the competition is an unnecessary requirement of prerequisite priming in product water used for potential cases of desired water quality not being met.

]]> Clack Greensand Filtration Media https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-greensand-filtration-media/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:11 +0000 https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-greensand-filtration-media/ The manganese dioxide coated surface of GreensandPlus acts as a catalyst in the oxidation reduction reaction of iron and manganese. The silica sand core of GreensandPlus allows it to withstand waters that are low in silica, TDS and hardness without breakdown. GreensandPlus is effective at higher operating temperatures and higher differential pressures than standard manganese greensand. Tolerance to higher differential pressure can provide for longer run times between backwashes and a greater margin of safety.

Systems may be designed using either vertical or horizontal pressure filters, as well as gravity filters. GreensandPlus is a proven technology for iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic and radium removal. Unlike other media, there is no need for extensive preconditioning of filter media or lengthy startup periods during which required water quality may not be met. GreensandPlus is an exact replacement for manganese greensand. It can be used in CO or IR applications and requires no changes in backwash rate or times or chemical feeds. GreensandPlus has the WQA Gold Seal Certification for compliance with NSF/ANSI 61. Packaging is available in 1/2 cubic foot bags or 1 metric ton (2,205 lbs) bulk sacks.

Features
Suggested Operating Conditions:
Bed Type Dual media: anthracite 15-18 in. and GreensandPlus 15-24 in.
Capacity 700-1200 grains of oxidized iron and manganese/sq.ft. of bed area based on oxidant demand and operation to iron break through or dp limitations.
Backwash Sufficient rate using treated water to produce 40% bed expansion for 8 minutes or until waste water is clear.
Air/Water Scour Optional using 0.8-2.0 cfm/sq. ft. with a simultaneous treated water backwash at 4.0-4.5 gpm/sq. ft.
Raw Water Rinse At normal service flow rate for 3 minutes or until effluent is acceptable.
Flow Rate Recommended flow rates with CO operation are 2-12 gpm/sq. ft. Extremely high concentrations of iron and manganese usually require lower flow rates for equivalent run lengths. Higher flow rates can be considered with very low concentrations of iron and manganese. For optimizing design parameters, pilot plant testing is recommended.The run length between backwashes can be estimated as follows:

Contaminant loading
= (1 x mg/L Fe) + (2 x mg/L Mn)
= (1 x 1.7) + (2 x 0.3)
= (2.3 mg/L or 2.3/17.1 = 0.13 grains/gal. (gpg)
At 1,200 grains / sq. ft. loading ÷ 0.13 gpg = 9,230 gal./sq. ft.
At 4 gpm / sq. ft. service rate 9,230/4 = 2,307 min.
The backwash frequency is approximately every 32-38 hours of actual operation.
Applications
  • Iron and Manganese Removal
  • Hydrogen Sulfide Removal
  • Arsenic Removal
  • Radium Removal
]]> Clack MTM Filtration Media https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-mtm-filtration-media/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:11 +0000 https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-mtm-filtration-media/ Clack MTM® is a granular manganese dioxide filtering media used for reducing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from drinking water. Its active surface coating oxidizes and precipitates soluble iron and manganese. Hydrogen sulfide is oxidized to sulfur. The precipitates are filtered out in the granular bed and removed by backwashing.

MTM® consists of a light weight granular core with a coating of manganese dioxide. MTM® is an example of contact oxidation where themedia itself provides the oxidizing potential. This allows for a much broader range of operation than many other iron removal medias. A pH level as low as 6.2 can be treated. Dissolved oxygen is not essential. The media’s light weight reduces backwash water requirements. MTM® requires either continuous or intermittent regeneration to maintain its oxidizing capacity. For continuous regeneration a solution of potassium permanganate (or chlorine then potassium permanganate) can be pre-fed to maintain capacity. In the latter case, the manganese dioxide coating acts as a catalyst to enhance the oxidation reaction and as a buffer to reduce any excess potassium permanganate concentration and prevent it from entering the service lines. Continous feed regeneration using Cl2, KMnO4 or both is required for all systems that are larger than 3 cubic feet.

For intermittent regeneration use of a regenerating solution of 1½ to 2 ounces (dry weight) of potassium permanganate per cubic foot is usually sufficient. Upon start-up a new bed should be backwashed and caution taken to insure that the lightweight media is not backwashed to drain. A new bed should be regenerated the evening of installation. Operating the filter after its oxidizing capacity is exhausted will reduce its service life and may cause staining. Untreated water should periodically be monitored for raw water parameters. Treated water should periodically be monitored for manganese and if present iron and hydrogen sulfide.

When using intermittent regeneration take treated water samples shortly before a regeneration and immediately after a regeneration to monitor how the filter system is functioning. Elevated treated water manganese concentrations before regeneration may mean that the filter media is being destroyed or bed reduction capacity has been exceeded. Take corrective actions as necessary.

Low pH, lack of chlorine oxidant or lack of permanganate oxidant are the most likely conditions leading to media destruction. Addition of other chemicals to influent or backwash water which contacts MTM® media may inhibit iron, manganese or hydrogen sulfide removal or may break down or coat MTM® media. Before adding any chemical to the influent or backwash water, other than chlorine or potassium permanganate, the chemical’s compatibility with MTM® should be thoroughly tested.

]]> Clack Pyrolox Filtration Media https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-pyrolox-filtration-media/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:11 +0000 https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-pyrolox-filtration-media/ Through a natural chemical reaction, Pyrolox has the ability to help produce clean, high-quality water. Pyrolox filter media works by oxidizing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide in problem water. Trapped particulate is then removed from the media bed during the backwash cycle.

Oxidant Feed:

To maintain and further augment the long-term performance and removal capacity of the media, an oxidant feed of some type is recommended. This will maintain the media and enhance removal capacity. Chlorine injection (options include chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, or calcium hypochlorite) immediately up stream of the filter feed is a simple way to meet this recommendation. Other acceptable oxidants include air injection, potassium permanganate, sodium permanganate, etc. Hydrogen peroxide is specifically prohibited for use as an oxident.

  • It is important that Pyrolox media is backwashed properly to ensure adequate bed expansion and continued service life.
  • It is recommended that Pyrolox be installed with an underbed and be backwashed daily. Individual application requirements may vary.

]]> Clack Filter Ag Filtration Media https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-filter-ag-filtration-media/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:10 +0000 https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-filter-ag-filtration-media/ Clack Filter-Ag® has many outstanding advantages over the more common granular filter medias used for suspended solids reduction. Its fractured edges and irregular surface provides a high surface area and complex flow path for efficient removal of suspended matter throughout the filter bed, typically reducing suspended solids down to the 20-40 micron range. Filter-Ag’s larger particle size creates less pressure loss through the filter and allows deeper sediment penetration into the bed for higher sediment loading and longer filter runs. The large and irregular shape prevents the screening and caking of sediment in the top several inches of the filter bed as happens in the typical sand filter, thus preventing a rapid buildup of headloss and blinding problems.Filter-Ag’s light weight means lower backwash rates and better bed expansion to release trapped sediment and rinse the filter media during the backwash cycle. The combination of particle shape, size and density make it a good choice where quality water filtration and water conservation are important.

Although not intended to be an iron reduction media, extensive field experience has shown Filter-Ag’s rough and jagged surface to be very good at entrapping the fragile iron flock that forms after dissolved iron has been oxidized. Typical oxidation methods include aeration, ozonation and chlorination.

Substantial savings can be realized when designing a system using Clack Filter-Ag. Its low pressure drop, high service flow rates and high bed loadings combined with lower backwash rates allow economy in equipment downsizing and reduced pumping requirements. Its light weight also saves on handling expense and shipping costs.

Clack Filter-Ag can be applied to systems designed for either pressure or gravity flow. Because of its unique density, Filter-Ag can also be used in multi-media (graded density) filter designs allowing a more flexible approach to difficult filtration problems.

]]> Clack Filter Ag Plus Filtration Media https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-filter-ag-plus-filtration-media/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:10 +0000 https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-filter-ag-plus-filtration-media/ Clack Filter-Ag Plus is a unique natural ore called clinoptilolite that has many outstanding advantages over common granular filter sands and multimedia used for suspended solids reduction. Viewed under an electron scanning microscope, the granules reveal an angular shape, rough surface and microporous void spaces as small as 3 microns. This creates a surface area over 100 times greater than silica sand. The angularity of the granules and the tapered internal pore spaces allow for reduction of dirt, silt and organic matter suspended in water by bridging, straining and adhesion. The rough surface and internal porosity provide a high surface area for efficient reduction of suspended matter. Utilizing deep bed filtration can typically reduce suspended solids down to the 5 micron or less range. Filter-Ag Plus’ structure typically creates less pressure loss through the filter and allows deeper sediment penetration into the bed for higher sediment loading and longer filter runs. The deep bed filtration capacity of Filter-Ag Plus prevents a rapid buildup of head loss and blinding problems that are associated with typical sand filters. The longer filter run times reduce backwash frequency, which provides conservation of water. This ideal combination of particle shape, texture and porosity make it a good choice where quality water filtration and water conservation are important. Substantial savings can be realized when designing a system using Clack Filter-Ag Plus. Its low pressure drop, high service flow rates and high bed loadings combined with lower backwash frequency allow economy in equipment downsizing and reduced pumping requirements. Its low density also saves on handling expense and shipping costs.

Clack Filter-Ag Plus can be applied to systems designed for either pressure or gravity flow. Because of its unique physical characteristics, Filter-Ag Plus can be used to replace multimedia (graded density) filter designs.

Air scour is possible and helpful when there is heavy loading in the bed. It has to be done minimally in order to prevent too much bed lift and/or advanced attrition. An air scour of 1 to 2 cfm/ft2 at backwash rates of 15 to 20 gpm/ft2 would be sufficient. The pressure required would be static head pressure plus the psi necessary to deliver 1 to 2 cfm/ft2. Bed expansion should be observed to ensure that media is not being discharged in the back wash water. A one minute air scour at the beginning of the backwash cycle should be sufficient. Prolonged air scour may cause stratification of the smaller media to the top of the bed which could affect future head loss.

]]> Clack Garnet Filtration Media https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-garnet-filtration-media/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:10 +0000 https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-garnet-filtration-media/ Called multi-media or mixed media filtration, the high density, small grain size of Clack #30-40 Garnet solves a major filtration problem. In a single media granular filter such as a sand filter, the material will hydraulically classify during backwash according to granule size, the smallest rising to the top. When water flows downward through the sand, the fine particles at the top of the bed do most of the straining of the sediment. The solids form a cake on the surface with filtration typically taking place in the top few inches. As the cake forms, the filtration becomes finer and the head loss increases exponentially with time.

The ideal situation would be to have the large grains of media at the top to trap the large solids, and a uniformly decreasing grain size in the direction of fluid flow with the small grains at the bottom to do the final polishing. The penetration of the solids into the entire bed allows for increased solids storage, longer filter runs, and higher filtration rates.

A properly designed multi-media system will maintain its unique grading of large grains on top and small grains on the bottom and provide superior performance even after many backwashings. This stable condition of large grains above finer ones is achieved by the use of materials of different sizes and specific gravities. Garnet with its high specific gravity of 4.0 forms the lower fine grain layer, its 0.3 mm effective size can filter down to the 10-20 micron range. Filter Sand, (effective size of 0.5 mm) and Anthracite, (effective size of 0.9 mm), or Filter-Ag® can form the larger, less dense layers.

Multi-media filtration technology is applicable to both water and waste water treatment. Custom designed filters with varying filter bed configurations can be designed to meet specific needs. For the majority of municipal and industrial water supply applications, a filter bed composed of 55% low density material, 30% medium density material, and 15% high density material is recommended.

#8 Garnet at 140 lb/ ft³ is a good choice for support beds when using other high density filtration media such as high purity Corosex II or the new manganese dioxide oxidation medias such as Pyrolox.

]]> Clack CAT-HAC Filtration Media https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-cat-hac-filtration-media/ Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:37:10 +0000 https://aquacomponents.sa/product/clack-cat-hac-filtration-media/ Clack Catalytic Activated Carbon is a high activity coconut shell based granular carbon that is specifically designed for the reduction of chloramines and hydrogen sulfide from potable water.

Manufactured from select grades of coconut shell coal to produce a high density, durable granular product capable of withstanding the abrasion and dynamics associated with repeated hydraulic transport, backwashing and mechanical handling. Activation is carefully controlled to produce exceptionally high internal surface area with optimum pore size for the adsorption of a broad range of low molecular weight organic contaminants and oxidizing agents like chlorine and ozone.
