EVERZIT® N

Anthracite filter media in accordance with EN 12909

EVERZIT® N is a natural anthracite filter material produced in Germany. Especially favorable geological processes formed anthracite with a particularly special structure. Our unique refining process of cleaning, crushing and sieving ensures our capability to convert anthracite to premium-quality filter media for single-layer and multi-layer filtration. It has a proven track record spanning more than 45 years in successful water treatment worldwide.

Features and benefits

EVERZIT® N has by nature ideal characteristics for a filter media:

  • High abrasion resistance
  • Withstands high-speed backwashing without media wash-out
  • Optimum separation of filter layers during backwashing
  • Good retention, even of particulates with high specific gravity
  • No adhesion of precipitated ferrous- and manganese compounds
  • No silicic acid leach-out into water

Applications

Dual media filtration avoids conventional "surface-only" filtration as found in sand filter beds. Particulate retention occurs throughout the media (in-depth filtration) which offers considerable advantages, i.e. lower investment  costs and reduced operating costs:

  • longer run time between backwashes
  • reduced pressure drop
  • higher filtration speeds feasible
  • reduced backwash-related downtime and costs
  • higher treatment capacity
  • improved filtrate quality
