Aquachem India Mangenese Dioxide Granules, Greensand Suppliier
Manganite (Greensand)
“High-Performance Filter Media for Iron, Manganese & H₂S Reduction”
Aquachem India offers a premium water filtration media manufactured using a silica base material coated with pure manganese dioxide — a reliable solution for removing dissolved iron, manganese, hydrogen sulphide, arsenic, and radium from well water and groundwater supplies. Designed for municipal, industrial, commercial, and residential applications, our Manganite media delivers efficient oxidation, filtration, and regeneration performance.
Manganite (Greensand Equivalent) is a black, granular filter medium coated with manganese dioxide (MnO₂) deposited on a lightweight zeolite core. Each grain has a coating that acts as a catalyst in the oxidation-reduction reaction of iron and manganese, converting dissolved contaminants into insoluble particles that are then filtered out of the water.
Unlike media that require pre-conditioning, Manganite (Greensand) is ready to install and regenerate using standard regeneration techniques, making it ideal for a wide range of water treatment systems.

The MnO₂ coating catalyses oxidation of dissolved iron and manganese — converting Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ and Mn²⁺ to Mn⁴⁺.
Insoluble oxides formed are retained within the media bed as water flows through.
Manganite can be regenerated, extending its lifespan for continuous use in well water filtration.
Our Manganite media efficiently removes soluble iron (Fe²⁺), manganese (Mn²⁺), hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) along with radium and arsenic, improving water clarity, taste, and odour.
The Greensand coating accelerates oxidation reactions, transforming dissolved metals into insoluble oxides that are mechanically filtered by the media bed, ensuring high removal efficiency.
Manganite can be used with both continuous regeneration (CR) and intermittent regeneration (IR) methods using potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) for sustained performance and extended media life. Dosage: 1.5 – 2.0 oz per cubic foot
Manganite (Greensand Equivalent) from Aquachem India meets ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for potable water treatment components, providing confidence in safety and performance
