Birm Process

An alternative method for eliminating dissolved iron and manganese compounds from untreated water is through the use of Birm. The inherent physical properties of Birm offer a superb filter media that can be effortlessly cleansed via backwashing, effectively eliminating the precipitate. It’s worth noting that Birm isn’t depleted during iron removal, presenting a notable economic edge over numerous other iron removal techniques. It’s important to mention that Birm doesn’t address the removal of hydrogen sulfide. If your untreated water contains this element, opting for a greensand filter would be a more suitable choice.
