KATALOX LIGHT® is a new brand of revolutionary advanced
filtration media completely developed in Germany. It‘s
composition simply makes it outstanding against the
contemporary filter media available in water treatment
industries, like sand, BIRM, Greensand Plus, Manganese
Greensand etc. KATALOX LIGHT® is manufactured in Germany.
KATALOX LIGHT® is engineered with unique MnO2 coating
technique on ZEOSORB®, providing it light weight, higher filtration
surface, more service life and more reliable performance (filtration
down to 3 µm) than any other existing granular filter media.
KATALOX LIGHT® is being used in numerous system
for residential, commercial, industrial and municipal
applications worldwide, for High level filtration, color and
odor removal, Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen sulfide removal,
efficient reduction of Arsenic, Zinc, Copper, Lead, Radium,
Uranium and other radionuclides and heavy metals.

Advanced use
High concentration coating of MnO2 on the KATALOX
LIGHT® surface (10%) is the biggest advantage compared
to any similar product available in the market. This makes
the oxidation and co-precipitation of contaminants much
more effective. For removal of very high concentration of
contaminant it‘s recommended to use H2O2 as an oxidizer,
which provides accelerated catalytic oxidation on the surface
of the media. Conventional oxidizing agents like chlorine or
potassium permanganate also could be used if required.
KATALOX LIGHT® can be used for Arsenic, Radium, Uranium
removal but in these cases there is requirement of Iron
in the water. KATALOX LIGHT® system is designed with
special iron dosing technology which has many advantages
over Adsorbent media used for Heavy Metal removal.
