ECOMIX® softens water with hardness up to 45 gpg (750 mg/L CaCO₃).
ECOMIX® reduces common types of iron: ferrous, organic, and colloidal. Influent iron concentration must not exceed 15 mg/L.
ECOMIX® is one of the most reliable means for manganese removal. Influent manganese concentration must not exceed 3 mg/L.
ECOMIX® is a proven technology to remove tannins and other natural organic compounds. Maximum allowed influent Chemical Oxygen Demand concentration is 20 mg/L O₂.
Maximum allowed ammonium concentration is 4 mg/L.
FerroSorb is a proprietary sorption material for iron and manganese removal
Mechanism of iron and manganese reduction: Adsorption > Oxidation > Active Layer Formation > Autocatalytic Oxidation. Due to this process, FerroSorb removes most common species of iron in raw water: ferrous, ferric, organic, and colloidal. Active layer of Ferrosorb contains active sites for manganese removal.
Best efficiency of Ecomix is achieved when raw water is fed directly to Ecomix softener. Do not use oxidative pre-treatment before the Ecomix system.
Ecomix® is regenerated with the same steps as normal softeners: backwash, brine, rinse, fill. Calcium and magnesium ions are displaced from the cation exchange resin matrix with sodium ions.
Iron and manganese are removed during backwash stage by surface scour mechanism in fluidized bed.
