BIRM

Product overview

BIRM is a filtration media documented for reduction of dissolved iron and/or manganese in water supplies by enhancing oxidation reactions with dissolved oxygen. The supplied datasheet states that regeneration is not required, while backwashing is required. SWFI can review the application and help match the product to the required duty. Final selection should be verified against the applicable manufacturer datasheet and actual site conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is BIRM used for?

BIRM is a filtration media documented for reduction of dissolved iron and/or manganese in water supplies by enhancing oxidation reactions with dissolved oxygen. The supplied datasheet states that regeneration is not required, while backwashing is required.

How do I select the right BIRM?

Start with the application and required duty, then confirm the relevant size, capacity/range, material, operating conditions and manufacturer specification for this product type. Iron and manganese concentration is a key starting point.

What information should I provide when requesting a quotation for BIRM?

Provide the product name/model, quantity, application and relevant size, capacity, range or operating requirement. A datasheet, specification, drawing or photograph is useful where available.

Is BIRM suitable for water treatment applications?

It can be considered for suitable iron removal media applications where its stated function matches the process requirement. Final suitability depends on the application, operating conditions and the manufacturer's technical data.

Can SWFI source another iron removal media product if this model is not suitable?

Yes. Send SWFI the required function, brand or model, specification, quantity, application, datasheet or photograph where available. We can review the requirement and assist with suitable special-order sourcing, subject to technical suitability, availability and supplier confirmation.
