2 1 2 Pyrolox PYROLOX is the leading filter media for iron, manganese and arsenic removal. Pyrolox is a granular water filtration media that has been used in water treatment for more than 75 years. Product Information External testing of Pyrolox proves superior removal capability of both Fe and Mn species than commercial manganese filter media This is due to Pyrolox s high surface area and greater absorption sites. The contaminants Ra, Ba, and As can be removed by pre-treatment to co-precipitate with Fe or Mn. The media can be regenerated by common techniques including hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, and hypochlorite. Technical Data Mesh Sizes True Density Mn removal per kg media Fe removal per kg media 18x44(UK*), 8x20(US*), 20x40(US*) 5.0 g/cm3 225 mg (Equilibrium Isotherm) 833 mg (Equilibrium Isotherm) Certification BS EN 13752:2012 NSF 61 * Mesh size of indicated country.

3 Mn and Fe removal in Water Treatment M. AL BAHLANI 1, P. JARVIS 1, S. BRIDGE 2, P. FRAMPTON 2 The aim of the study was to investigate the ability of Pyrolox and a commercial alternative to remove iron and manganese from drinking water by adsorption. For both Fe and Mn contaminants, Pyrolox showed a greater capacity for removal % Ct/C % Removal of Fe % Removal of Mn Pyrolox - Fe Pyrolox - Mn Bed volumes (L) Typical Competitor - Fe Typical Competitor - Mn Equilibrium Isotherms In static testing, Pyrolox outperforms the other commercial product in both Fe and Mn removal. Further investigation shows different mechanisms for each process: Mn fits the Langmuir model and Fe fits the Freundlich model Pyrolox/Contaminent dosage (g/l) Pyrolox - Fe Typical Competitor - Fe Pyrolox - Mn Typical Competitor - Mn Fixed Bed Breakthrough Curves Laboratory scale filters were constructed and tested to establish breakthrough parameters for Fe and Mn where, again, Pyrolox had superior performance. 1 Cranfield University, 2 Prince Minerals Limited Characterization Both SEM and XRD were used to characterize both materials and provide insight into the superior performance of Pyrolox.

4 Pyrolox Advantage PYROLOX Advantage is an engineered filter media that is effective at removing iron, manganese, hydrogen sulphide, and arsenic in water treatment applications. As the next stage in filter media, Pyrolox Advantage provides outstanding performance with the advantage of a light-weight coated filter media. Product Information Pyrolox Advantage coating technology offers catalytic removal of Fe, Mn, and other contaminants by pre-treatment while providing lower backwash requirements, superior oxidation capacity, and virtually no media fines to remove at startup. Technical Data Mesh Size True Density 20 x 40 (US*) 1.9 g/cm3 Certification NSF 61 Accreditation for use in EU countries in progress * Mesh size of indicated country.
