What is KDF ?
KDF Process Media Filtration: Kinetic Degradation Fluxion. KDF process media are patented high purity copper-zinc formulations. KDF media eliminates or reduces contaminants from the water by utilizing electrochemical oxidation reduction. KDF 55 Medium was designed specially for removing or reducing chlorine and water-soluble heavy metals. It controls scale, bacteria and algae even in hot water. KDF 85 Medium removes or reduces chlorine, chloramines, iron and hydrogen sulphide from municipal and other ground water supplies. Also, controls scale, bacteria, and algae. KDF 55 and KDF 85 process media can remove up to 99% of water-soluble lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals. All KDF process media forms are effective in controlling the buildup of bacteria, algae, fungi and scale, making them ideal for use in granular activated carbon (GAC) beds, ion exchange resins, carbon block filters and in-line filters. Wherever you use KDF Medium, it will be more cost effective a
KDF is a metallic compound consisting of high-purity copper-zinc formulations. The patented KDF media reduces the contaminants in water using oxidation-reduction (redox), or the electrochemical potential of purified dissimilar metals. The redox reaction means KDF media simply exchange electrons with contaminants. The exchange of electrons changes the contaminants into harmless components: e.g. changes chlorine to chloride. Other contaminants such as aluminum, arsenic, iron, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, bond to the KDF media. KDF process media also controls microorganisms in 2 ways. The first way is a by-product of redox: the exchange of electrons creates an electrolytic field that most organisms cannot survive. The second, the forming of hydroxyl radicals and peroxides (from the water molecules), interferes with the microorganism’s ability to function.
