In the water treatment industry, selecting the right filtration media is essential for achieving reliable, long-term contaminant reduction. Two terms you’ll frequently see from filtration-media manufacturers are Catalytic Carbon and Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT).

When it comes to clean water, the spotlight usually shines on flashy tech, membranes, UV disinfection, and advanced carbon systems. But the real MVP might just be something much simpler: anthracite filtration media.

If you work in water treatment, you’ve probably heard of Greensand and DMI-65®. Both are widely used filter media for removing iron, manganese, and arsenic from groundwater, but which one actually performs better for your application?

When developing a water purification setup, reverse osmosis (RO systems) are often the main focus. However, the effectiveness and longevity of RO membranes largely depend on the quality of the pre-treatment stage.
