KDF® Fluid Treatment
KDF® Process Media Extends System Life and Eliminates Contaminants.
Revolutionary Filtration for a Sustainable Future.
Kymera International’s KDF® Fluid Treatment business features patented KDF® Process Media which is revolutionizing the water treatment industry by enhancing or replacing existing filtration technology in both new installations and retrofits. Trusted by leading manufacturers, supporting a vast array of industries, including residential applications, hospitals, beverage producers, restaurants, and municipal facilities, KDF® media provides powerful protection, effectively eliminating chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, heavy metals, scale, and bacteria. Safe, efficient, and proven—it’s the go-to solution for cleaner water.
Benefits of KDF® Process Media
- Removes over 95% of chlorine, iron, heavy metals, and hydrogen sulfide on its own.
- Extends carbon life when combined with granular activated carbon (GAC), lowering replacement frequency.
- Boosts the performance and lifespan of GAC, RO, and IX systems.
- Reduces material needs for more compact, cost-effective systems.
- No chemical additives—100% recyclable, eliminating disposal costs.
- Effectively controls scale, bacteria, and algae.
- Replaces toxic silver-impregnated systems.
How KDF® Media Works
KDF®, short for kinetic degradation fluxion, isn’t just a material—it’s a breakthrough process, pioneered by water treatment expert Don Heskett in 1984. Using high-purity copper and zinc, KDF® media creates an electrochemical reaction that targets and eliminates a wide range of contaminants like iron, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, heavy metals, and bacteria. Through a redox (oxidation-reduction) process, harmful elements are transformed—chlorine becomes harmless, water-soluble chloride and heavy metals like lead and mercury are captured on the media’s surface, effectively purifying the water.
KDF® Process Media Forms:
Purity Meets Performance with KDF®
KDF®-55 and KDF®-85 Process Media remove up to 99% of water-soluble metals like lead, mercury, and nickel while controlling bacteria, algae, fungi, and scale. Ideal for GAC beds, ion exchange resins, and carbon filters, KDF® media eliminates the need for harmful chemical treatments.
For chlorine reduction, KDF® Process Media creates a chemical reaction in filters by donating two negatively charged electrons to each molecule of chlorine to reduce it to the lower oxidation state of chloride. Chloride is a highly soluble and innocuous molecule that doesn’t possess oxidation properties any longer.
Guaranteed for purity, KDF® media are 100% recyclable and contain no chemical additives. Certified by the EPA as a “pesticidal device,” our media meet strict EPA and FDA standards for potable water.
