PERSNICKETY® PRE-FILTER/H2S CONVERTER MEDIA uses a patented
polymeric amine, formulated for maximum removal of H2S and
volatile mercaptans. The combination of multiple amine sites
and organophilic properties allows for fast, efficient
removal of these problematic compounds. This chemistry
reacts with H2S and mercaptans to form water-soluble and
non-volatile poly sulfides that are readily biodegradable.
In simple words, gaseous H2S is turned into a stable liquid
polymer. Pre-Filter/H2S conversion media is used as a first-stage
media sized to achieve 80% removal of H2S ahead of chlorine
dioxide-releasing media that will remove the remaining H2S
to 99%. Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an extremely powerful oxidizing
agent. For example, one pound of ClO2 is equivalent in
oxidation power to 2.5 pounds of chlorine and 3.8 pounds of
potassium permanganate. Because it reacts selectively and
primarily with only the most offensive odor-producing
compounds (H2S, organic sulfurs, organic amines), this media
will normally provide a much longer service life than
products such as chlorine, hypo chlorite, hydrogen peroxide
and potassium permanganate. Unwanted reactions do not occur.
Power is not needlessly spent. ClO2 remains available and
ready on demand. Activated Carbon technology is used in cases where there are
higher levels of amines and ammonias present than are
normally found in domestic wastewater.
