Media: Carbo M/ Pyro M
We carry water filtration media for different types of water treatment applications, such as carbon ( charcoal ), coconut shell granulated activated carbon ( GAC ) and more. The media can be purchased in bulk to replace exhausted media in your existing residential or commercial water filtration systems. Most of the media is available in 1 cubic foot (1 cu.ft.) bags.
This is a basic index of activated carbon that characterizes the surface area of the pores as well as the adsorption capacity of the carbon. The iodine index is calculated by the mass of iodine that can be adsorbed by a unit mass of coal (mg/g). The principle of the measurement method is based on the adsorption of a single layer of iodine molecules on the surface of coal.

NTESCO PYRO-M media is a unique structure of the best ways to treated a problem of groundwater is with strict regulation of the substances in water by 1 step filtration media under penetrate and adsorption.
Product form Thailand: 100% product imported from Thailand.
Great performance: Pyro M is greater performance than old conventional media such as manganese green sand & Birm, It is able to remove Fe up to 15 ppm, manganese up to 3 ppm with single pass filtration and effective in removing and oxidizing As (III), As IV), where Birm is not effective.
Continuous intermittence process: only requires a small amount of bleach.
Longer lifetime: 100% full body natural media of manganese oxide.
Natural media: Pyro M is fully supported by comprehensive technical literature and support with proven case history in Asia.
