BIRM – Iron & Manganese Removal Media

BIRM (Burgess Iron Removal Media) is a highly effective filtration media used for the removal of dissolved iron and manganese from water sources such as boreholes, wells, and municipal supplies. It works as a catalyst to enhance the oxidation of iron and manganese when oxygen or aeration is present, allowing these contaminants to be easily filtered out without the need for chemical regeneration.

BIRM is commonly used in pressure vessels, filter tanks, and automated backwash systems for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications. It is a low-maintenance, cost-effective solution that helps protect plumbing, appliances, irrigation systems, and water heaters from staining and fouling.
