Remove safely iron and manganese from water with Watercel ZF
Watercel ZF acts directly to remove soluble (Fe2+ and Mn2+) and particulate (Fe3+ and Mn4+) iron and manganese present in water.
- Particle size: 0.4 to 1.0 mm
- Uniformity coefficient: 1 to 1.9
- Apparent density: 0.9 – 1.0 g/cm³
- pH: 2.5-5.0
- Color: Brown
- Moisture content: ≤ 12%
- Melting point: 1000 – 1400 °C
Safe product. Safety tested according to GM/MS Standard No. 888/21, based on NSF/ANSI Standard 61 (2016).
Increased water production due to high filtration rates.
Reduced backwash water consumption due to low backwash requirements.
Lower pressure drop due to high porosity, which promotes greater water production capacity.
High iron and manganese adsorption capacity using lower quantities of product per cubic meter of water treated.
Recommended use
| Filtration rate | 10 to 30 m³/m².h |
| Backwash rate | 25 to 35 m³/m²·h |
| Filter expansion | 20 to 30% |
| pH | 6.0 to 8.5 (6 to 7.5 up to 2 ppm of Mn.For values above this, use a pH between 8.0 and 8.5). Work with a pH of 7.5 for iron ≥ 4.0 ppm. |
| Apparent density | 0,98 kg/L (g/cm³) |
| Bed support | Use only 1/8 to 1/16 gravel (minimum height of 200 mm)or use Zeomedia 4-6 and 1/8 to 1/16 gravel (minimum height of 100 mm for each particle size) |
| Maximum concentrations | ≤ 11,0 mg/L iron.≤ 6,0 mg/L manganese |
| Maximum permissible turbidity at the filter inlet | ≤ 10 NTU |
| Outlet free chlorine | 1,0 to 2,0 mg/L |
