Catalytic and granular filtration
Katalyst-Light
Katalyst-Light is a lightweight catalytic granular filter medium for iron, manganese and hydrogen-sulphide removal. The treatment design coordinates oxidation, catalytic conversion, solids loading, service velocity and bed expansion during backwash.

Product role
Where Katalyst-Light fits in the treatment train.
Media selection is based on contaminant form, oxidation state, pH, loading, service flow and the available backwash conditions.
Watch Water UAE supports professional customers with product selection, project quantities, commercial quotations and coordination of the technical information required for final design.

How the process is integrated
- 01
Prepare
Establish the contaminant form and, where required, provide suitable oxidation before or within the media bed.
- 02
React
Catalytic media surfaces accelerate conversion of dissolved contaminants to filterable forms.
- 03
Filter
The media bed retains precipitated material and suspended solids at the selected service rate.
- 04
Backwash
Accumulated solids are released during a properly designed hydraulic cleaning cycle.

Product questions
Technical answers for project teams.
These answers support early-stage selection. Final guarantees and operating limits are confirmed against the project data.
01Is oxidation always required?
It depends on the medium, contaminant and source-water chemistry. The oxidation route must be confirmed during process selection.
02Why is backwash design important?
Backwash removes retained solids and restores bed hydraulics. Insufficient expansion can cause fouling, channeling and early pressure loss.
03Can filtration media be installed before RO?
Yes, when designed as appropriate pre-treatment to reduce iron, manganese, solids or oxidant-related fouling risks.
04How is the replacement interval determined?
It depends on media type, irreversible loading, attrition, chemistry and operating history rather than a fixed calendar period alone.
