The third step is to consider the use of oxidizers, chemical regeneration , and other additional treatments in special cases. When the subject water’s contaminant levels exceed the recommended removal limits, Manganese Granules (MnO2) will continue to outperform the competition. However, the use of an additional oxidizing agent (e.g. oxygen, chlorine, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, etc) is recommended. Oxidizers will not adversely affect Manganese Granules (MnO2). As a matter of fact, they will enhance its performance. They super – oxidize the media, which enables Manganese Granules (MnO2) to perform quicker and keep cleaner. As a matter of great measure, it is always a safe practice to install an oxidation method upstream (in front) of the Manganese Granules (MnO2) bed to ensure that the oxidation reduction reaction is 100% complete.

Similarly, the use of chemical regeneration, while often not necessary for Manganese Granules (MnO2) to operate properly, will not harm the media, and if performed regularly, will extend the life of the media.

Tannin removal media, mixed bed resins or carbon polishing filters may also be necessary depending upon the specific water’s chemistry. Consult an experienced design engineer with specific application problems and establish a pilot test site. Any iron, hydrogen sulfide, and manganese removal installation, regardless of contamination levels, will surely benefit from having Manganese Granules (MnO2) properly designed into the system.

Manganese Granules (MnO2) is clearly the choice for any residential, commercial, and industrial iron, hydrogen sulfide, and manganese removal application. Its superior particle strength, high removal capacities, and ease of installation allow Manganese Granules (MnO2) to leave the competition behind in terms of performance and value.
