Overview
The bSeries utilizes granular ferric oxide (GFO) materials widely recognized for their high affinity toward arsenic, mercury, and lead. These active particles are securely integrated into the foam scaffold, forming a three-dimensional reactive matrix with high accessible surface area and excellent mechanical integrity.
The foam’s open-cell architecture enables uniform fluid distribution and a tortuous flow path, enhancing contact time and maximizing contaminant removal efficiency while maintaining low hydraulic resistance.
Performance Advantages
- Heavy Metal Reduction: Effectively removes As(III/V), Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺, and Pb²⁺ through adsorption and surface complexation mechanisms.
- High Absorptive Capacity: Engineered to deliver sustained removal performance over long service intervals.
- Low Pressure Drop: Reticulated structure promotes laminar flow and prevents clogging or channeling.
- Chemical Stability: Maintains performance under varied pH and ionic strength conditions.
- Customizable Iron Loading: Iron oxide content and foam density tailored to specific system designs and treatment goals.
