Pyrolox Iron Reduction Filters with Automatic Backwash With Fleck Control Valves

A Naturally mined ore, Pyrolox is a mineral form of manganese dioxide which has been used in water treatment for more than 75 years. Pyrolox is a granular filtration media for hydrogen sulfide, iron and manganese reduction. Pyrolox functions as a catalyst, but itself remains relatively unchanged. Pyrolox works on a principle whereby the hydrogen sulfide, iron and manganese are oxidized and trapped on the media while simple backwashing cleans the bed. No chemical regeneration is required, nothing is imparted into the drinking water and Pyrolox has a high capacity for low contaminant concentrations. Pyrolox can be used in conjunction with aeration, chlorination, ozone or other pretreatment methods for difficult applications. Chlorine or other oxidants accelerate the catalytic reaction.

A mined ore, Pyrolox effectively reduces iron, sulfur and manganese from problem water.

  • Protect downstream equipment
  • Effective reduction of iron, sulfur and manganese
  • Durable material with long service life and low annual attrition of bed
  • No chemical regeneration required, only periodic backwashing

Ordering Notes:

*Pyrolox filters are available with several options of valve voltages. Please add the appropriate voltage code to the end of the model when ordering.
  • 110v/60Hz = 116 Example: W-MFI1665P-116
  • 220v/60Hz = 216 Example: W-MFI1665P-216
  • 220v/50Hz = 215 Example: W-MFI1665P-215

**5 gpm per sq. ft. of media is the best design condition for filtration. Backwash flow rate based on 25 psi pressure drop.

Skid mounting, control panel and custom sizes and configurations are available upon request.
AMI Auto Backwash Carbon Filters are offered standard with new state of the art electronic programmable valves as well.
