FAQ: De Nora Systems & Applications

What’s the difference between the TETRA LP® and U Block® underdrains?

  • Both offer efficient air and water distribution. U Block® is used in higher-rate filters and provides increased surface area and structural integrity.

How do Denite® filters help with nutrient removal?

  • Denite® filters biologically convert nitrate to nitrogen gas, reducing TN in the final effluent to meet stringent discharge permits.

Can SAF® or ColOX® be retrofitted into existing tanks?

  • Yes. These fixed-film biofilters are modular and can be adapted to retrofit installations or new construction.

Is UV disinfection effective against viruses and protozoa?

  • Yes. De Nora UV systems are validated to inactivate Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and viruses—meeting EPA and state disinfection standards.

What PFAS levels can De Nora’s ion exchange systems achieve?

  • They can treat to non-detect or below 4 ppt depending on influent concentration and resin selection.

Are SORB™ media systems NSF certified?

  • Yes. SORB™ media is NSF 61 certified and designed for safe use in drinking water systems.

Do these systems require backwashing or regeneration?

  • Filtration systems require periodic backwashing; ion exchange and SORB™ media may require replacement or regeneration depending on the application.

Are pilot systems available?

  • Yes. Both Siewert and F.R. Mahony can assist with pilot testing and field demonstrations to confirm performance.

What are the footprint requirements?

  • TETRA™ filters and biofilters are highly space-efficient and customizable to available footprint and hydraulic profile.

Can these be used in decentralized systems or small municipalities?

  • Absolutely. Many De Nora systems are modular and ideal for small- to mid-sized utilities or package plants.
