Manganese Greensand & Iron Filtration
Manganese Greensand Filters are specialized water treatment systems designed to remove iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water. These filters use manganese greensand, a type of glauconite coated with manganese oxide, to oxidize and filter out these contaminants, ensuring the delivery of clean and safe water.
Benefits
- Improves Water Quality: Effectively removes iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide, which can cause staining, bad taste, and odor.
- Prevents Plumbing Issues: Reduces the risk of plumbing and appliance damage caused by iron and manganese buildup.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment.
- Cost-Effective: Provides a reliable and economical solution for water purification.

How to Size a Manganese Greensand Filter
Properly sizing a manganese greensand filter is crucial for optimal performance. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
By following these steps, you can effectively size a manganese greensand filter to ensure reliable and efficient water treatment. For detailed consultation and assistance, our team of experts is always ready to help you design and implement the perfect solution for your water filtration needs.
- Identify the Contaminant Load: Test water for iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide levels
- Concentration Levels: Measure the concentration of each contaminant.
Filtration Process
1. Oxidation: The manganese greensand media oxidizes iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide in the water, converting them into insoluble particles.
2. Filtration: The insoluble particles are then trapped within the greensand media, effectively removing them from the water.
3. Regeneration: Periodically, the filter media is regenerated using potassium permanganate, which restores the oxidizing capacity of the greensand.
