Water Filtration Media

Anthracite

Kleen Industrial Services is a direct distributor for anthracite products. Kleen Blast Anthracite filter media is dry processed and is produced from the highest quality anthracite available to ensure the physical characteristics of hardness, durability and performance. Anthracite typically produces consistent improvements in turbidity removal because, in part, to more efficient solids loading. Low uniformity coefficient media also produces smaller changes in effluent turbidity during periods of peak influent turbidity. Products meet or exceed the NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for Drinking Water System Components. As well as AWWA Standard B100-01.

Physical Specifications
Effective Sizes: .60mm - 1.6mm
Uniform Coefficient: 1.3 - 1.7
Specific Gravity: 1.3

Silica Sand

Filter sand is an extremely effective filter media because of its ability to hold back precipitates containing impurities. Filter sand size, angularity and hardness are the important filter sand characteristics to ensure proper filtering. Products meet or exceed the NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for Drinking Water System Components. As well as AWWA Standard B100-01.

Physical Specifications
Effective Sizes: .20mm - 2.5mm
Uniform Coefficient: 1.3 - 1.7
Specific Gravity: 2.67
Moh's Hardness: 7
Density: 105 - 115 lbs per cubic foot

Garnet

Garnet is an ideal water filter media. Garnet is a chemically inert and non-metallic mineral, which is commonly found in the natural environment. Garnet is well known for its hardness and durability. It has a high specific gravity as well as its chemical and abrasive resistance makes garnet an ideal filter media. This product occurs both in large sizes conducive to support beds, and in smaller sizes for cap beds and is dense enough to allow faster back flushing. Products meet or exceed the NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for Drinking Water System Components. As well as AWWA Standard B100-01.

Physical Specifications
Effective Sizes: .20mm - 2.0mm
Uniform Coefficient: <1.6
Specific Gravity: >4.0
Density: 120 - 140 lbs per cubic foot

Filter Gravel

Filter Gravel is an extremely effective filter media because of its ability to hold back precipitates containing impurities. Filter sand size, angularity and hardness are the important filter sand characteristics to ensure proper filtering. Products meet or exceed the NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for Drinking Water System Components. As well as AWWA Standard B100-01.

Physical Specifications
Effective Sizes: 1/8" - 2 1/2"
Uniform Coefficient: 1.2 - 1.7
Specific Gravity: 2.70
Moh's Hardness: 6
Density: 100 lbs per cubic foot

GreenSand Plus

GreensandPlus is a purple-gray filter media used for removing soluble iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic and radium from well water supplies.

The substrate media has a manganese dioxide coated surface that acts as a catalyst in the oxidation- reduction reaction of iron and manganese. The difference between GreensandPlus and manganese greensand is in the substrate that forms the core of the media and the method by which the manganese dioxide coating is attached to that substrate. GreensandPlus has a silica sand core and the coating is fused to it while Manganese Greensand has a glauconite core and the coating is ionically bound to it.

The silica sand core of GreensandPlus allows it to better withstand operating conditions in waters that are low in silica, TDS and hardness. Thus, if you currently are using manganese greensand and are feeding sodium aluminate, you will likely be able to eliminate the aluminate feed by switching to GreensandPlus. Also, GreensandPlus can withstand higher operating temperatures and higher differential pressures than can manganese greensand. The higher differential pressure may allow for a longer run length, but, if nothing else, allows for more operational margin of error.

Along with the added benefits comes the fact that GreensandPlus is an exact replacement for manganese greensand. It can be used in CR and IR applications and requires no changes in backwash rate or times or chemical feeds. GreensandPlus has received the WQA Gold Seal Certification for compliance with NSF/ANSI 61. It is available in easy-to-handle 1/2 cubic foot bags or 1 metric ton (2205 lbs) bulk sacks.

Physical Characteristics of Manganese Greensand
Form: Black nodular granules of manganese-coated natural greensands

Note: Regenerate manganese greensand with KMnO₄ before placing in service.
