Green Sand Filters
Efficient Iron, Manganese, and Hydrogen Sulfide Removal
Green sand filters are a highly effective water treatment solution for removing iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water supplies. These contaminants can cause staining, unpleasant odors, and equipment scaling, impacting industrial, commercial, and municipal operations. Mueller Water’s Green Sand Filters provide a cost-effective and reliable method to ensure clean, high-quality water.
How Green Sand Filtration Works
Green sand filters use a specialized manganese
greensand media that oxidizes and traps iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide. The media is periodically regenerated with potassium permanganate to maintain its filtration efficiency, making it a long-lasting and effective solution for contaminant removal.
Key Contaminants Removed
- Iron (Fe): Eliminates iron buildup, preventing rust stains and clogged pipes.
- Manganese (Mn): Removes manganese deposits that cause dark stains and water discoloration.
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S): Eliminates "rotten egg" odors from water.
- Turbidity & Sediment: Enhances overall water clarity.
Applications of Green Sand Filters
Mueller Water’s Green Sand Filters are widely used in:
- Municipal Water Treatment: Ensures compliance with drinking water standards.
- Industrial Water Filtration: Protects boilers, cooling towers, and manufacturing processes from iron and manganese buildup.
- Food & Beverage Processing: Removes metallic tastes and odors from water used in production.
- Agriculture & Irrigation: Prevents clogging of irrigation systems and improves water quality for crops.
- Groundwater Treatment: Addresses high iron and manganese levels in well water.
