Iron Removal Plant

Iron removal filters are designed to remove excess iron from water, which can cause staining on clothes, plumbing, and fixtures. They are commonly used in areas where groundwater contains high levels of iron, which is often found in well water. There are different types of iron removal filters, each working through distinct processes to eliminate iron and improve water quality. Here’s an overview of common types of iron removal filters and how they work:

These filters inject air into the water to oxidize the dissolved iron (Fe2+) into solid particles (Fe3+). Once the iron is oxidized, it forms particles that are filtered out by the system. The basic steps in the process are:

• Air is introduced into the water stream.
• The air oxidizes dissolved iron into iron oxide (rust).
• The oxidized iron is then filtered out by a media bed, such as manganese greensand or Birm.
