FERARRIUM - Model F -Filter Media
FERARRIUM F is a filter media designed for water filtration from iron compounds, suspended solids, and petroleum products. It significantly reduces color, turbidity, phenols, and phosphates. The material is based on natural aluminosilicate, suitable for both drinking water treatment and industrial water purification, including the final treatment of biologically purified wastewater. It effectively removes iron, manganese, strontium, heavy metals, phosphates, petroleum products, and phenols. FERARRIUM F is recommended for use in both pressure and non-pressure systems.
Unlike other media, it is not treated with additional chemical coatings based on manganese or other catalytically active metals, preventing operational failures caused by coating depletion or washout.
FERARRIUM F is a highly durable material. Catalytically active components are evenly distributed within the granules, ensuring efficiency even if the granules break.
The material is non-consumable, has a high contaminant retention capacity, and meets filtration standards efficiently.
It performs exceptionally well when combined with FERARRIUM M as the bottom layer of a multimedia filter.
- Operates effectively at pH ≥ 6,5
- Pre-chlorination does not reduce FERARRIUM F activity
- Increases water pH by 0,5–1,5 units during startup, enhancing iron removal efficiency
- Versatile, lightweight, and cost-effective
- Requires no chemical regeneration; backwashing with water is sufficient
- High contaminant retention capacity ensures extended intervals between backwashes with consistent water quality (iron content below 0,2 mg/l and minimal pressure drop)
- Improves sand filter performance by enabling higher filtration rates
- Free of chemically active coatings, eliminating failures due to depletion or washout
- Reduces operational costs when replacing quartz sand with FERARRIUM F
