Adsorbents - Water Filtration Media
“Adsorption, the binding of molecules or particulates to a surface, must be distinguished from absorption, the saturation bonding of a material or the filling of pores in a solid”
Stormwater BIOCHAR Filter Media - iON Exchange Filtration Media
Stormwater BIOCHAR Filter Media is a highly-effective ion exchange adsorbent filter media is a low-cost Stormwater Filter Media for removal of heavy-metals as well as a wide range of contaminants in water.
Stormwater BIOCHAR Filter Media is an organic carbon based bio-char media that is a relatively new treatment technology used in the removal of most pollutants found in storm water discharges. Stormwater BIOCHAR Filter Media is made from a specialized organic media that filters storm water naturally.
Stormwater BIOCHAR Filter Media serves as an ionic exchange medium to enhance the treatment process and effectively reduces: Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Turbidity, COD, Chemicals (Phosphorus & Nitrogen), Heavy-Metals (Zinc, Copper, Iron, Lead) and Oil/Gas (Petrochemicals).
Stormwater BIOCHAR Filter Media has undergone extensive Field & University testing and has shown a 95% reduction of total Aluminum and zinc, and up to a 99% reduction of Cadmium, Chromium, Total Copper, Lead and Iron. Stormwater BIOCHAR Media has been used in many applications such as catch basin filters, roof downspout filters, treatment bed filters, contour ditch booms, filter socks/pillows and filter booms used in channels, ditches and bio-swales.
