KDF 55 and 85 Provide Non-Chemical Water Treatment Media for Lead Removal and Other Heavy Metal Removal from Water

In New Jersey`s mercury contaminated groundwater - KDF media have been removing mercury to levels below the MCL since 1992.
Redox media, non-chemical water treatment remove up to 98% of water-soluble cations (positively-charged ions) of lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals.

When filtered through KDF media, soluble lead cation

KDF Process Media uses Oxidation Reduction Process for Scale and Bacteria Removal

A plastic injection molding plant uses KDF media to control microorganisms and eliminate scale build-up in cooling towers-at 25% of the cost of chemical treatments. Photo courtesy of Marley Tooling Technologies, Inc.

KDF process media are incorporated into carbon blocks and other matrices for bacteria removal and scale reduction for water treatment.
The oxidation/reduction potential (ORP)

Water Cooling Towers Operate at Better Efficiency and Lower Maintenance Costs with KDF Water Filter Media

"As Seen in Water Quality Products"
At TowerKlean™ LLC... KDF Water Filter Media Help with Scale, Algae, Chlorine and Heavy Metal Removal from Water

Scale... it`s a vicious never-ending problem that can kill the overall efficiency of water-cooling systems or towers. It can also clog sand-type filtering systems and turn the sand to cement, eve

KDF 85 Process Medium is an Effective Non-Chemical Water Treatment for Iron Removal and Other Heavy Metal Removal

A Kalamazoo, Michigan producer of bottled drinking water uses KDF media as a non-chemical method of removing chlorine and sequestered iron from 7,500 gallons of municipal water daily, extending the operating life of downstream RO membranes by as much as 10 years.

Redox media alloy function as catalysts to change soluble ferrous cations (positively-charged ions)

Hydrogen Sulfide Treatment with KDF 85 Primary Water Treatment Media and Industrial Treatment Media

KDF reacts with hydrogen sulfide to form insoluble copper sulfide which can be backwashed off KDF 85 medium. (More information on how KDF 85 process medium works as industrial treatment media and water treatment media.)

Typical reaction with KDF 85 process medium -
Cu/ZN° + H S — CuS + 2H°

Point-of-Entry (POE) Water Treatment Used for Chlorine Removal in Microbrewery Application

Summary: RO is the preferred technology for many commercial/light industrial applications where feed water purification and final product water consistency are essential. Growth of U.S. microbreweries has created an opportunity for this application. The following case study offers an additional area of interest in that the feed water to the microbrewery is product from a local municipal RO pl

KDF 55 Process Medium Helps with Removing Chlorine in a Municipal Water Treatment Facility

A Los Angeles-based maker of fashion jeans uses KDF media instead of chemicals for removing chlorine when treating municipal water in their stone-washing process.

High-purity copper-zinc redox water filter media consistently provides 99% of free chlorine removal from water by electrochemically reducing dissolved chlorine gas to water-soluble chloride ions. (More infor
