Attention those considering the use of groundwater and those struggling with groundwater treatment! High concentrations of iron and manganese can also meet the water quality standards of the Water Supply Act! [Raw water quality is also listed in the achievements]
Our company has been manufacturing and selling various screen products for extracting groundwater and riverbed water for water supply facilities, industrial, agricultural, and fishery use for over 40 years. We have accumulated years of know-how regarding groundwater, and the water treatment device we developed is called "Chemiless." Chemiless is an environmentally friendly water treatment device that uses natural forces through a combination of contact oxidation treatment and biological treatment, without the use of chemicals such as oxidants or coagulants, to treat iron, manganese, ammonia nitrogen, and arsenic in groundwater. **Features of Chemiless** - **No Chemicals Used**: When chemicals are used, costs and efforts related to chemical expenses arise, but with Chemiless, there are no such costs or efforts involved. - **No Need for Media Replacement**: In typical filtration systems, media replacement occurs approximately every three years, but this is not necessary with Chemiless, saving both costs and efforts. - **Space-Saving**: Chemiless completes the treatment on its own and can achieve high-speed processing of 400m³ per day, allowing for a smaller installation area compared to conventional filtration equipment. - **Low Running Costs** - **Capable of Handling High Concentrations of Iron, Manganese, and Ammonia Nitrogen**

basic information
Chemless does not use oxidizing agents or coagulants. It processes high concentrations of iron, manganese, and ammonia nitrogen through a membrane of iron oxide and manganese oxide (catalysts) that naturally form in the Chemless layer, along with the oxygen supplied from the air through a special mixing nozzle and naturally occurring nitrifying bacteria. Since no chemicals are used and there is no need for media replacement, there is no risk of disinfection by-products, and there are no costs for chemicals and their management. Additionally, by not using chemicals, it contributes to the longevity of downstream equipment such as RO membranes, activated carbon, water softeners, and boilers, which can lead to significant long-term reductions in operating costs. Chemless can independently treat iron, manganese, and ammonia nitrogen, eliminating the need for groundwater receiving tanks, reaction tanks, and chemical dosing units. Furthermore, with a high processing capacity of LV = 400m³ per day, it also allows for space-saving of the entire treatment facility and reduction of initial costs. ■ Renovation Examples Example 1) Existing: Groundwater → Chemical dosing → Reaction tank → Iron removal unit → Manganese removal unit → Water softener Renovation: Groundwater → Chemless → Water softener Example 2) Existing: Groundwater → Raw water tank → Chemical dosing → Reaction tank → Coagulation sedimentation → Chemical dosing → Rapid filtration pond Renovation: Groundwater → Chemless

Compared to tap water and iron and manganese removal systems, Chemless can keep running costs low. Please refer to the "Chemless Simple Leaflet" for the running cost comparison table. Additionally, while not reflected in the comparison table, it contributes indirectly to reducing the overall running costs of the facility by minimizing the effort and space required for chemical management and extending the lifespan of downstream equipment.

The filter media used in Chemiless is made of standard silica sand. A natural coating of iron oxide and manganese oxide forms around each grain of silica sand, which acts as a catalyst to treat iron and manganese with the power of oxygen in the air. Arsenic is also treated using this mechanism. Additionally, ammonia nitrogen is processed by naturally occurring nitrifying bacteria within the filter layer. The filter media expands due to the formation of oxide coatings, but during cleaning, excess material is appropriately peeled off and discharged outside the system, maintaining the filter layer height at the designed value. There is no degradation of the filter media, and it does not require replacement for a semi-permanent period.
