Water Filtration Materials

Water filtration materials are essential components that remove unwanted solids, chemicals, metals, and microorganisms from water. At KaT Solution, we supply a wide range of high-quality filter media—including sand, anthracite, activated carbon, ion exchange resin, and multi-media blends—sourced from leading manufacturers.

Common Filtration Media & Technical Data

1. Quartz Sand

   • Grain size: typically 0.5–3 mm

   • High specific surface area filters suspended solids and turbidity

2. Anthracite Coal

   • Used in dual-media or multimedia beds

   • Removes larger particulates while protecting fine sand layers.

3. Activated Carbon

   • Made from coconut shell, coal, or wood

   • Adsorption mechanism removes chlorine, color, odor, organics.

4. Manganese Sand / Filox / Birm

   • Removes dissolved iron, manganese, sulfides

     • Filox: 1–2 mm grain size, high MnO₂ content, pH range 2–11.

     • Birm: MnO₂-coated aluminosilicate, catalytic oxidation (no regeneration needed)

5. Ion Exchange Resin

   • Includes cation and anion resins for softening, demineralization

   • Typical bead size: 0.3–1.2 mm, cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene matrix.

6. Multi-Media & Specialty Media

   • ODM-2F: Natural blend of diatomite, zeolite, bentonite; functions as catalyst, adsorbent, filter.

Filtration Bed Design & Operating Guidelines

• Bed depth typically ranges from 600–1800 mm (approx. 2–6 ft)

• Filtration rate:

  • Sand/anthracite: 15 m³/m²·h (≈0.4 m/h)

  • Fine media: 5–20 m/h depending on application.

• Backwash expansion around 20% ensures thorough cleaning.
