Turbidex – Advanced Zeolite-Based Filtration Media

We all need clean, safe, and – just as importantly – great-tasting water!
Turbidex is a high-performance, multi-purpose filtration media made from highly porous aluminosilicate granules (natural zeolite). With its superior physical and chemical properties, Turbidex delivers exceptional fine filtration and sediment removal, outperforming traditional filter media across a wide pH range.

Key Features:

• Chemical Composition: Clinoptilolite, Calcite, Sodium Aluminosilicate

• Filtration Capability: Removes particles down to 3–5 microns

• Sediment Holding Capacity: Up to 3× more than sand filters

• Flow Rate: Up to 48 m/h

• Media Volume Required: Up to 3× less than quartz sand

• Improved Efficiency: Reduces backwash frequency and water usage

Advantages of Turbidex:

1. Finer Filtration

Turbidex combines multiple filtration mechanisms: mechanical filtration, flocculation, physical and electrostatic adsorption, and ion exchange. This synergy allows it to effectively capture particles as small as 3–5 microns, far superior to many common filter media:

• Filter Ag: 20–40 microns

• Quartz sand: 20–25 microns

• Multimedia: 12 microns and above

Benefit: Enhances the performance of downstream systems such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and ozonation. It also reduces chemical dosing and membrane cleaning frequency, lowering operational costs.

2. High Dirt-Holding Capacity

Thanks to its extremely porous structure and large surface area, Turbidex can retain up to 3 times more solids than traditional sand, leading to:

• Less frequent backwashing

• Lower water consumption

• Reduced energy usage

3. Higher Service Flow Rates

Turbidex enables fast filtration rates of 36–48 m/h, compared to:

• Filter Ag: 12–20 m/h

• Quartz sand: 20–29 m/h

• Multimedia: 29–36 m/h

This allows for the use of smaller filter vessels, saving space and system costs.

Applications:

• Removal of suspended solids

• Retention of oxidized iron and manganese

• Reduction of turbidity and color

• Removal of heavy metals, oil-based substances, and ammonia
