You can hardly find water which has no problem
with one of 5 typical contaminants:
 Hardness
 Iron
 Manganese
 Natural organic matter (NOM)
 Smell of ammonia and/or H2S
These problems often come together.
Traditionally – 4 stages
1. Iron and manganese removal
on catalytic media (Birm,
MTM, Greensand,etc).
2. Softening on strong acid
cation resins (ammonia
removal is also possible).
3. Organics removal by
activated carbon.
4. (Potentially) Ammonia
removal on zeolite.
Problems with traditional
technology:
• detailed water analysis
• deep knowledge and
experience of water
experts
• is quite expensive and
imperfect
• creates headaches and
problems during
maintenance
Some facts:
In 1999 started production of ECOMIX.
Since 2001 – in Russia, Belarus
Since 2004 – in Germany, Italy, Poland,
Scandinavian and Baltic countries
In 2007-2010 600 000 liters of media sold
Lifetime of the media - 3-10 years (average 5 years)
Problems - less than 0,1%
ECOMIX® is a mixture
of ion exchange and
adsorption materials
of different nature
5 components which
are created in our
Kiev facility
After 1st backwash
creates a
multilayer
arrangement that
provides a
maximum
efficiency of
purification.
Inert material for iron removal and
correct flow arrangement during
backwash
Modified adsorbent for Fe and Mn
removal
Modified adsorbent for NOM
removal
Low-crosslinked cation resin
Quartz sand support bed
Mechanism:
• ion-exchange
• adsorption
• catalytic
• contact coagulation.
Regeneration - NaCl

Two types of the media are available:
• ECOMIX ® А «4-in-1» - more popular,
effective in hardness, iron, manganese
and ammonia removal. It removes
organic at certain level.
• ECOMIX ® C «5-in-1» - is
recommended when besides 4 main
contaminants significant reduction of
organic content is necessary.

ECOMIX ® is made of the
DOWEX resins,
which undergo additional
chemical treatment at our site.

CAPACITY AND REGENERATION
Only hardness should be considered for calculations
TYPE A 0,75 eq/l(37,5 gCaCO3/l)
TYPE C 0,65 eq/l (32,5 gCaCO3/l)
Regeneration: 100 g NaCl/l media
The most typical applications:
•
•
•
•
Residential water treatment for private houses
Commercial treatment for food industry
Pretreatment before RO
Replacement of standard softening for boilers
and steam generators
Main Advantages of the systems
with ECOMIX:
• Universal solution. Five major
problems of well water are easily solved by just
one filter
• High efficiency.
Filter is more effective
than traditional iron removal systems.
Fe < 15 ppm and Mn<3 ppm, rejection– up to
99%.
• Consistent reliability. Efficiency does
not depend on pH, organics, chlorine or
hydrogen sulfide content.
The most reliable technology for iron removal –
treats ANY well water.
Main Advantages of the systems
with ECOMIX:
• Proven technology. 15 000 systems
operating for 12 years all around Europe.
• Easy operation. Simple calculation of
capacity – just hardness is taken into
consideration. Extremely low salt consumption.
• Compact size – a new concept allows to
reduce the overall size of the system substantially
so it requires a smaller footprint. Cabinet size unit
can serve for the whole house.
1. ECOMIX IS NOT JUST A
MIXTURE OF ANION AND
CATION RESINS
2. AFTER 12 YEARS OF
APPLICATION WE KNOW
HOW TO MAKE IT
WORKING
3. ECOMIX IS BETTER THEN
THE ONLY COMPETING
ZEOLITE-BASED PRODUCT
