Ecomix® removes:
- Hardness
Ecomix softens water with hardness up to 45 gpg (750 ppm CaCO3)
- Iron
Ecomix reduces common types of iron: ferrous, organic, and colloidal. Influent iron concentration must not exceed 15 ppm.
- Manganese
Ecomix is one of the most reliable means for manganese removal. Influent manganese concentration must not exceed 3 ppm.
- Tannins
Ecomix is a proven technology to remove tannins and other natural organic compounds. Maximum allowed influent tannin concentration is 5 ppm.
- Ammonium
Maximum allowed ammonium concentration is 4 ppm.

REMOVAL OF IRON AND MANGANESE
REGENERATION OF ECOMIX®
-
Ferrosorb ensures total iron and manganese removal
Iron is removed in the following way: 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.
-
Proven alternative to aeration and chlorination
Ecomix shows best performance when raw water is fed directly to Ecomix unit. Do not use oxidative pre-treatment before the Ecomix system.
FerroSorb bead
-
Regenerated as a softener
Ecomix is regenerated using the same sequence as a common softener: backwash, brine, rinse, fill. Calcium and magnesium ions are displaced from the cation exchange resin matrix with sodium ions. Humisorb is regenerated with chloride ions.
-
Iron and manganese are purged
by surface scour mechanismIron and manganese are removed during backwash by surface scour mechanism in fluidized bed.

Our business is water purification.
Ecosoft is a private company founded by a family of engineers Mitchenko. Our story began in 1991 when we created a small laboratory to perform scientific research and engineer water treatment solutions for the power and food industry. Today we employ 250 people, 40 of which are water professionals.
Ecosoft's mission is to secure highest quality of water wherever it is of importance: at the tap in a residence, in a cafe or hotel, a poultry plant or brewery, in the process cycle of a metallurgical plant or a power plant.
In 1999 we became a partner and distributor of Dow Chemical’s products. In 2000 we set up production and distribution of the whole range of products — from household water filters to solutions for large industrial projects — chemical and metallurgical works and power plants.
Our professional R&D laboratory developed one of our flagship products — Ecomix — softening and iron removing medium. Thousands of tons of Ecomix are sold in more than 32 countries. We develop and launch 5–7 products every year. Lean production and quality management system result in high performance and competitive prices.
For our customers’ convenience we set up production facilities in Ukraine and Germany and sales offices in Kyiv, Dusseldorf, Minsk, Chisinau, France, Canada and USA.
We invest in our partners — that’s why they love to work with us. Try our products and service and get your own experience!
