Macrolite®
Macrolite, a processed mineral
oxide manufactured exclusively by Kinetico, is used as a
highly efficient filter media for the removal of
oxidized iron and suspended matter. This ceramic media
is chemically inert and is not affected by acids and
bases. Tests have shown that its attrition rate is
nearly zero. Depending on the class of Macrolite® used,
suspended solids removal can be to below 3 microns.
M1 – Ultra Media
Filtration
Our superior filtration
media, M1, can remove particles to below 3 microns,
while processing water at a flow rate of 10 gpm/ft2.
With M1 media, the smallest mesh size within this class
is 80 mesh; therefore, a fine mesh distributor system is
required when using M1 media. M1 is ideal for surface
water treatment, where the removal of giardia and
cryptosporidium is required.
M2 – Superior Media
Filtration
M2 media provides filtration
to below 5 microns. It is ideal for iron and manganese
removal, when coupled with a pre-oxidation prior to the
filter. M2 is also used with arsenic filtration. In this
application, arsenic is first co-precipitated with
ferric-chloride. M2 can be operated with a service flow
rate of 10 gpm/ft2, and backwashed at a flow of 6
gpm/ft2.
M9 – Specialized Gravity
Media
Optimized to the operation of a
gravity filtration system, Kinetico’s M9 media is a dual
bed system that allows both improved flow and filtration
performance compared to sand. For facilities needing to
expand capacity, the incorporation of M9 into existing
filter cells is a cost-effective alternative to the
capital investment of additional sand filter cells. M9
can filter at flows up to 10 gpm/ft2, while maintaining
outlet turbidity of less than 0.5 NTUs (based on a 5 NTU
inlet).
