About this plant

Overview

An Iron Removal Plant is a specialized water treatment facility designed to reduce or eliminate iron content from water. Excess iron in water causes unpleasant taste, staining of clothes and fixtures, and can promote bacterial growth.

How it works

The process involves oxidation of soluble ferrous iron to insoluble ferric iron, followed by filtration through suitable media to remove the precipitated iron particles.

Why choose it

Key Features

Efficient Iron Removal Reduces iron content to acceptable levels.
Automatic Backwash Self-cleaning filtration system.
Low Maintenance Simple operation and minimal upkeep.
Corrosion Resistant Long-lasting construction.
Custom Sizing Available for various flow rates.

Step by step

Treatment Process

  1. Aeration Air contact oxidises dissolved iron so it can be filtered out.
  2. Oxidation and contact Retention time lets the iron form filterable particles.
  3. Media filtration Water passes through the filter bed, which traps iron particles.
  4. Backwash Periodic backwashing flushes captured iron to drain and restores the filter bed.
  5. Treated water Clear, iron-reduced water is sent to storage or supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my water has too much iron?

Common signs are rust-coloured stains on fixtures and laundry, a metallic taste, and water that turns yellow or brown on standing. A lab test confirms the level.

How often does the plant need backwashing?

It depends on your iron level and usage. We set the backwash schedule when commissioning, and automatic units run it for you.

Can one plant remove iron and fluoride?

They are usually separate treatment steps. We can combine them in one system when your water needs both.
