-
Better filtrate clarity:
BRZ™ has a nominal rating of less than 5
microns. Sand and anthracite has a
rating of 15 microns, and multi media is
12 microns.
-
Increased flow rate:
Flow rates are generally more than
double through BRZ™.
-
Greater particulate loading:
BRZ™ generally holds more than twice the
particulates as sand and anthracite.
-
Fewer backwash cycles with less water
used:
BRZ™ cuts the backwash cycles and amount
of water used in less than one half.
-
Lower
capital cost to expand plant capacity:
Plant capacities can be doubled by
replacing sand and anthracite with BRZ™
to eliminate the installation of more
equipment and buildings.
BRZ™ is a 100% natural zeolite of
volcanic origin. The internal and external
surface area of zeolite is 10 times greater
than quartz. One gram of BRZ™ has a surface
area of 25 square meters. BRZ™ 100% more
permeability than sand.
The water passes through the BRZ™ and not
just around the grains like it does with
sand. This gives the much lower nominal
rating of less than 5 microns and the
greater capacity and loading. BRZ™ has a
bulk density of only 55 pounds per cubic
foot which is about half that of sand.
