Colour Removal
At Barr + Wray, we provide advanced colour removal systems for both municipal drinking water and a wide range of industrial water treatment applications.
Advanced Colour Removal Systems for Municipal and Industrial Water
Colour in clean water – caused by dissolved organic matter such as humic acids, tannins, or metals such as iron and manganese can affect not only water aesthetics, but also compliance with regulatory standards.
We design and supply treatment systems that combine Activated Carbon Filtration and Ion Exchange Technology to effectively reduce colour and improve water clarity, taste, and overall quality.
Activated Carbon Filtration
Our systems utilise high-grade granular activated carbon (GAC) media to remove naturally occurring organics and disinfection by-products responsible for colour, odour, and taste. These filters are engineered for maximum contact time and adsorption efficiency, making them ideal for pre-treatment in both municipal waterworks and industrial processing facilities.
Ion Exchange Treatment
Barr + Wray’s DWI-approved ion exchange resins (DWI56/4/1237, DWI56/4/1238 and DWI56/4/1239) provide safe and effective removal of colour-causing organics.
By integrating both methods, our systems deliver reliable, non-chemical treatment solutions that meet strict quality and aesthetic standards. We also offer automated regeneration systems, media replacement, and ongoing service support to ensure long-term performance and regulatory compliance.
From drinking water treatment plants to industrial production lines, Barr + Wray’s tailored solutions ensure consistently clear, high-quality water with efficient and sustainable operation.
