MV Technologies works with Customers to design the most cost-effective H₂S removal systems based on unique system parameters. Although our B.A.M. Iron Sponge media is often the most cost-effective solution, there are situations where Granular or Activated Carbon media makes sense. MV Technologies provides ALL solutions and will help evaluate the best technology (or combination of technologies) for your unique project requirements.

NOTE: The total performance that we secure from our media is in part driven by the specific engineering elements of MV's System designs in combination with our media that enables MV to offer its MV performance guarantee.

MV Technologies has implemented certain modifications into the well known iron sponge system to achieve a longer operating life and a reduced operating cost.

MV modifies commercially available iron sponge and markets it as B.A.M. (bio-active media). MV purchases standard grade iron sponge product from a commodity supplier, and enhances that material with biological agents to produce a more reactive and effective media. The iron hydroxide in the B.A.M., neutralizes the H₂S by converting it into iron sulfide compounds through chemical reaction, and the bacteria serve to “refresh” the available reactant. MV’s addition of biological agents to media result in removal of numerous non-sulfur bearing species such as VOC’s and readily biodegradable organic compounds, and improved re-oxidation of the iron sulfide compounds to regenerate iron oxides for subsequent reactions. All of this adds up to extended life of the reactive media and lower cost of operation.

After the iron sponge is totally reacted, the spent media is non-hazardous and can be disposed into a solid waste disposal facility or alternately into a compost operation for the treatment of any oily soils, or even applied as a fertilizer.

The spent iron sponge is non-hazardous and has 100+ years safe-operating history; however, handling requirements should be reviewed prior to composting or disposal, as the media must be kept moist to avoid any airborne dust conditions.

Although iron sponge has been successfully used to remove H₂S from gas streams for over a century, it is the engineered process of the H2SPlus Systems and operating technique that ensures safety, media life and ease of media removal.

For hydrogen sulfide removal requirements where a granular media is the best solution for the application, MV Technologies provides our preferred* Iron Oxide Granular Media. The proprietary and non-hazardous product is utilized in industry environments from odor control for wastewater treatment facilities to landfill and digester biogas. MV Technologies has extensive experience and works with clients to evaluate benefits of various treatment methods.

The high-capacity media is comprised of a high porosity mixed iron-oxide tightly bound on a stable inert base. It is not adversely affected by water or hydrocarbon condensate, and its unique formulation allows reliable performance in air or gas with 95% or more relative humidity. The media will not break down when soaked in water, and spent media can easily be removed from treatment vessels by a variety of simple methods. Additionally, media will not break down in the presence of free liquids and will not amalgamate when soaked in water.
