F.B. Leopold, a Xylem brand Filter Media Leopold® Engineered Filter Media® Anthracite

The filter media in a Leopold filter—media quality, bed composition, bed depth, and grain size distribution—is designed according to filter configuration, raw water quality, pretreatment, and desired filtrate quality. Leopold filters employ Engineered Filter Media® anthracite, the lowest uniformity coefficient (UC) anthracite filter media available. Leopold® Engineered Filter Media® anthracite typically produces consistent improvements in turbidity removal due, in part, to more efficient solids loading. Plus, low-UC media produces smaller changes in effluent turbidity during periods of peak influent turbidity. ITT readily supplies a full scope of media for filter designs. In addition to filter anthracite in all sizes and UCs, ITT can provide: Silica support gravel Silica filtration sand High-density support gravel High-density filtration sand Manganese greensand Granular activated carbon (GAC)
