Sulfur Removal

Sulfur Removal

Hydrogen sulfide in well water is immediately noticeable — the rotten egg smell is detectable at concentrations as low as 0.5 parts per billion. At residential concentrations typically ranging from 1 to 10 ppm, it corrodes copper and brass plumbing, stains fixtures and laundry black or grey, and makes the water unpleasant to drink even when it's otherwise safe. Well water in areas with high organic content in the soil or certain geological formations often produces hydrogen sulfide naturally, and the problem tends to get worse as the season turns warmer.

Treatment depends on the concentration. Low-concentration hydrogen sulfide (under 1 ppm) is typically addressed with activated carbon filtration, which absorbs the gas effectively for residential flow rates. Moderate concentrations between 1 and 7 ppm respond well to oxidizing filtration media — catalytic carbon or manganese greensand — that oxidizes the dissolved H2S to solid sulfur particles that are then filtered out and periodically backwashed to drain. High concentrations above 7 ppm generally require chlorine or air injection oxidation upstream of the filter to ensure complete conversion.

AMPAC USA's Katoxide sulfur removal filters use a specialized catalytic oxidation media to address hydrogen sulfide at typical residential and light commercial concentrations. The system installs at the main water supply line, connects to a standard 110V outlet for automatic backwash control, and includes a bypass valve so the filter can be serviced without interrupting water to the house. The media tank carries a ten-year warranty and the automatic backwash valve — made without metal parts to resist corrosion — carries a five-year warranty.

For well water where hydrogen sulfide co-occurs with iron, manganese, or hardness, AMPAC designs multi-stage treatment sequences that address all issues in a single integrated system rather than stacking separate single-purpose units that each add pressure drop and maintenance overhead.
