GreensandPlus™: Advanced Filtration Media for Effective Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen Sulfide, Arsenic, and Radium Removal
GreensandPlus™ is a black high-performance filtration media designed for the removal of soluble iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, and radium from well water supplies. It features a manganese dioxide-coated surface that acts as a catalyst in oxidation-reduction reactions, making it an excellent choice for various water treatment applications. With its silica sand core, GreensandPlus™ offers superior durability and performance compared to traditional manganese greensand, making it ideal for more demanding operational conditions.
Key Features: Superior Filtration and Durability
-
Manganese Dioxide Coating: Provides a highly oxidative environment for the efficient removal of iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, and radium.
-
Silica Sand Core: Enhances the media's ability to withstand harsh water conditions, including low silica, TDS, and hardness, as well as higher operating temperatures and differential pressures.
-
Exact Replacement for Manganese Greensand: GreensandPlus™ can be used in the same applications as manganese greensand, with no changes required to backwash rates, times, or chemical feeds.
-
WQA Gold Seal Certified: Meets NSF/ANSI 61 standards for drinking water treatment, ensuring safety and reliability.
-
Available in Convenient Packaging: Offered in easy-to-handle 1/2 cubic foot bags for simple transportation and installation.
Applications: Comprehensive Contaminant Removal
Iron and Manganese Removal
- GreensandPlus™ efficiently oxidizes and removes soluble iron and manganese. The media acts as a catalyst, trapping the precipitates, which are then removed during backwashing.
Hydrogen Sulfide Removal
- GreensandPlus™ directly oxidizes hydrogen sulfide, improving water quality. The media's performance can be enhanced by pre-feeding chlorine-containing compounds to increase the filter's run length and service life.
Arsenic Removal
- GreensandPlus™ effectively removes arsenic from groundwater when iron is present. Pre-injecting chlorine oxidizes iron and converts arsenite to arsenate, enabling the media to filter out arsenic. If iron levels are insufficient, iron salts like ferric chloride can be added to the water.
Radium Removal
- Similar to arsenic removal, GreensandPlus™ removes radium in the presence of manganese. If natural manganese levels are low, manganous sulfate can be pre-injected to facilitate the process.
Benefits of GreensandPlus™
-
Longer Run Lengths: Capable of handling higher differential pressures, allowing for extended operational periods between maintenance cycles.
-
Increased Operational Margin: Withstands more rigorous operating conditions, providing greater flexibility and reliability in water treatment systems.
-
Efficient Chemical Usage: Reduces or eliminates the need for additional chemicals, such as sodium aluminate, when switching from manganese greensand.
Ideal Applications
-
Residential Water Treatment: Provides effective removal of common groundwater contaminants, ensuring safe drinking water for households.
-
Commercial and Industrial Water Treatment: Suitable for businesses and industrial operations requiring reliable water purification to meet regulatory standards.
-
Municipal Water Treatment: Essential for public water systems needing comprehensive contaminant removal to protect community health.
