MetSorb HMRG

nnnn

Effective, Low-Cost Adsorbent for Removal of Heavy Metals

nnnn

MetSorb HMRG and HMRP adsorbents utilize a patented

nnnn

material to adsorb both forms of arsenic as well as a wide

nnnn

range of contaminants in water. Empty bed contact times

nnnn

as low as 10 seconds achieve high removal efficiencies.

nnnn

The material affords a higher capacity and a lower level

nnnn

of ion interference than competitive iron and alumina

nnnn

based products.

nnnn

MetSorb HMRG media's adsorptive capacity is 220 grams

nnnn

of arsenic per kilogram of HMRG adsorbent at a pH of 7.

nnnn

It yields 40,000 bed volumes of capacity at an inlet

nnnn

concentration of 40 parts per billion (ppb) of arsenic, at

nnnn

1 .6 minutes of empty bed contact time EBCT, and a

nnnn

breakthrough of 10 ppb.
