Manganese Sand

 

 

Manganese sand is a water filtration material coated to enhance oxidation capabilities and expand the surface area of the filter media. Produced in Vietnam using advanced technology from the American Water Treatment Association, it provides effective filtration solutions.

 

 

 

- Color: Brown-black or brown-yellow grains.

- Grain Size: Available in sizes such as 0.6-0.9 mm, 0.8-1.5 mm, and 2-3 mm.

- Features: Hard, free-flowing grains with angular edges.

- Function: Effectively filters water, especially water contaminated with manganese and iron.

- Lifespan: Minimum of 2 years requires regular backwashing and forward washing.

- Density: 1,400 kg/m³.

- Packaging: 25 kg per bag.

- Chemical Composition: Manganese-coated sand with KMnO₄.

 

 

Manganese sand is effective in addressing various water issues, including:

 

- Iron and Manganese Removal: Treats water contaminated with heavy metals like iron, manganese, and arsenic.

- Odor Elimination: Removes unpleasant odors in water through direct contact with manganese sand.

- Chlorine and Organic Compounds Reduction: Reduces chlorine levels and some organic compounds in water.

 

 

 

Manganese sand is favored for its notable benefits:

 

- No Need for Chemicals: Operates without additional chemicals or equipment like chemical dosing systems.

- Stability: Maintains water pH between 6.5 and 8.0.

- Durability: Resistant to abrasion and has a long lifespan.

- Cost-Effective: More affordable compared to imported materials like Birm.

- Ease of Use: Can be added to existing filter systems without structural changes.

 

 

Manganese sand provides several key benefits:

 

- Manganese Removal: Effective in removing manganese from drinking water.

- Heavy Metal Elimination: Efficiently handles heavy metals, particularly arsenic.

- Catalytic Action: Helps in the removal of radioactive substances.

 

 

 

To achieve the best results with manganese sand, consider the following:

 

- Combine with Other Materials: Use with quartz sand or activated carbon to enhance filtration efficiency.

- Regular Maintenance: Clean manganese sand before adding it to the filtration system.

- Adjust pH Levels: If water pH is low, adjust the pH before passing it through manganese sand.

- Add Quartz Sand Layer: For improved water clarity and filtration efficiency.
