Key Supplier: Quantum Filtration Media

Quantum Filtration are water filtration and distribution experts – selling DMI-65® infusion technology, a proprietary advanced oxidation catalytic media for the removal iron and manganese.

DMI-65 has been certified to the US Standard of NSF/ANSI 61 for Drinking Water System Components and for use in England and Wales Under Regulation 31(4)(a) of the water supply (Water Quality) regulations 2010 and has also been tested by many other water treatment authorities and laboratories.

DMI-65 is manufactured in Australia.

Advantages of using DMI-65 in Drinking Water Treatment
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Demand for clean and reliable drinking water expands at rates far greater than available surface water sources. New municipal drinking water sources are increasingly from ground water which most commonly has Iron and manganese contamination levels well above designated acceptable levels.   DMI-65 efficiently removes dissolved iron to the almost undetectable levels as low as 0.001 PPM and manganese to 0.001 PPM to achieve compliance in virtually all jurisdictions.

REDUCED COSTS The total cost of the iron and manganese removal water filtration system is significantly less than alternative solutions, the effectiveness, but relative simplicity, of DMI-65 based systems reduces the upfront capital expenditure on plant complexity as well as the ongoing operational expenditure in chemicals, power and backwash waste water recovery.

HIGH FLOW RATES. The infused technology of DMI-65 promotes the highest oxidation rate of any catalytic filtration media. This permits a significantly higher water flow rate to achieve the same level of iron and manganese removal. DMI-65 can operate at linear filtration velocities up to twice that of conventional media with a corresponding reduction in capital equipment costs.

HIGH LOAD CAPACITY Because of the increased surface area due to the micro – porous structure of the matrix material the DMI-65 also has higher iron and manganese load capacity which can extend the duration of filter runs and the time between backwashing, thereby reducing downtime, operating expense and wastage.

REGENERATION NOT REQUIRED. The media operates with a continuous injection of sodium hypochlorite at low residual levels (0.1 to 0.3 ppm) which eliminates the need for Potassium Permanganate.

WIDE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT.  Stable and satisfactory performance at pH 5.8 to 8.6 and a maximum operating temperature of 113° F (45°C) reduces the need for investment to alter the operating environment.

LONG LIFE. DMI-65 is not consumed in the process giving it an expected operational life of up to 10 years, providing considerable advantages over other processes or media. The media does not display a decaying capacity to do its catalytic work. Over the 5 to 10 year period, through many backwashing operations of the bed to remove retained solids, an attrition loss of the media occurs by contact between particles and mechanical abrasion
