EVERZIT® Carbonate

Calcium-carbonate filter media in accordance with EN 1018

EVERZIT® Carbonate is a natural filter media manufactured from pure calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It is used for deacidification of groundwater or for remineralization following reverse osmosis processes.

EVERZIT® Carbonate has high reactivity. When used in drinking water treatment, it increases the pH level and therefore facilitates iron and manganese removal.

  • Problem-free filtration, even in discontinuous operation

 

Applications

EVERZIT® Carbonate is used in single-layer filters and in some cases as the bottom layer in dual media filters to realize:
  • Neutralization of dissolved carbon dioxide (deacidification)
  • Hardening/remineralization following reverse osmosis (desalination)
  • Treatment of raw waters with low acid capacity (i.e. low carbonate hardness)
  • pH increase in swimming pool water after chlorination
  • Iron and manganese removal

Application sectors

  • Drinking water treatment
  • Sea water desalination
  • Water treatment in swimming pools
  • Process water treatment

Packaging and delivery

  • 25 kg or 50 kg PE bags on Euro pallets
  • 1000 kg big bags
  • Bulk transport in silo trucks
