Severn Trent Services designs and provides Omni SORB™ Filter Systems for iron and manganese removal applications, for combined arsenic/iron/manganese removal where iron levels are high enough to effect arsenic removal and as pretreatment with SORB 33® arsenic “Polishing.”
The Omni-SORB™ granular filter media from Severn Trent Services was specifically designed to provide removal of iron and manganese compounds from water and wastewater supplies. Unlike other iron (Fe) and maganese (Mn) removal media, Omni-SORB is not a processed mineral. It is an engineered product using refined manganese that has high catalytic activity for oxidation and adsorption of these metals. These catalytic properties allow the media to be efficiently used without the addition of potassium permanganate (K2MnO4), a strong oxidant required for Fe and Mn removal with greensand and other media.
OmniSORB™
Severn Trent Services offers the Omni-SORB media is easy-to-handle ½ cubic foot bags or 1 metric ton (2205 lbs) bulk sacs. The media has the WQA Gold Seal of Certification for compliance with NSF/ANSI 61.

Typical system designs consist of two automated filters in parallel operation with well water backwash water supply:
-
FRP Composite or Coated Carbon Steel Vessels
-
Carbon Steel, DI or Sch 80 PVC Piping
-
Automatic Valves – Service & Backwash
-
Flow & Differential Pressure Instruments
-
Panel mounted PLC & HMI Controls
-
Oxidation Pretreatment Package
Backwashing frequencies for Omni SORB™ Systems depend upon the water’s Fe & Mn concentrations. For a water containing 1,500 mg/L Fe or Mn, backwashing is done every 30 40 hours of operation. Longer service cycles occur between backwashes with lower levels.

Omni-SORB™ IRS
Severn Trent Services offers the
Omni-SORB™ IRS, a standard pre-engineered product line of filter systems for the combined removal of oxidized iron and manganese from potable ground water sources. The filter systems are also suitable for the removal of arsenic in the presence of high iron waters. The system is chemical free and does not require the use of potassium permanganate for oxidation. With a media life of eight years, the Omni-SORB media is long lasting.
