Application :

Manganese sand filter media boasts advantages such as high iron and manganese removal efficiency, stable operation, long service life, and low maintenance costs, making it one of the core filter media in traditional groundwater iron and manganese removal processes. Typical applications include::

Recommended Particle Size Range :

The particle size of manganese sand should be selected according to the filtration system and treatment process. Common specifications include:

● Higher Fe/Mn concentration → Larger particle size

● Higher effluent quality requirement → Smaller particle size

● High manganese water requires sufficient aeration

● Multi-layer filter beds are more stable than single-layer systems

Size Range (mm)	Application
0.5 – 1.0 mm	Fine filtration, low Fe/Mn water
0.8-1.6 mm	Groundwater iron & manganese removal
1.0-2.0 mm	High iron and manganese
2.0-4.0 mm	Coarse filtration or top layer
