⚙️ How Birm Works:

Birm acts as an insoluble catalyst, enhancing the oxidation of dissolved iron and arsenic in the presence of dissolved oxygen (D.O.).

• Iron (Fe²⁺) is oxidized to ferric hydroxide (Fe³⁺)
• Arsenic (As³⁺) is converted to arsenic pentoxide (As⁵⁺)
  These precipitates are then easily filtered out, leaving clean, safe water.
