Iron removal equipment

Posted by Australia ETA on October 27th, 2021

If water is taken from an artesian well, ferrous iron is almost always found in it. Such water will be transparent, but as soon as it comes to the surface, under the influence of oxygen, this chemical element becomes a trivalent compound.

How to get rid of iron in running water?

The choice of a specific method of iron removal depends on the tasks facing the consumer. Equipment for deironing water in a private house will differ from  stations designed for industrial water purification from iron . Reagent and reagent-free cleaning is widely used in this segment.

The use of modern devices for deferrization of water can effectively eliminate all the consequences of the presence of \"rusty\" water in the water supply system. For private households, the best option would be to install backfill filters. The backfill used in them creates an oxidative reaction - a precipitate is formed that falls out in the form of flakes, like ordinary rust. This residue remains in the filter compartment and is flushed out of it when the equipment is flushed.

For the correct selection of the material poured into such filters, a preliminary analysis of the water is carried out  , after which the specialist can determine the specific type and correctly calculate the amount of loading. Our company offers various options for filters and backfills, which are materials treated with manganese dioxide. If there is too much iron in the water, or the pH level of the liquid is low, the method of ion exchange is used for deferrization.

Equipment for deferrization of water from a well

It is necessary to free water from iron not only for domestic purposes. Water treatment systems for industrial purposes are no less in demand, when the liquid is used for boiler and heating equipment.

On the market, this equipment is represented by a wide variety of models. Russian manufacturers of water deferrization units do not lag behind click water purifier imported counterparts in terms of the quality of their systems, and the most popular filters are Geyser , Zolotaya Formula , Aquaphor filters .

Our company offers to purchase modern equipment for purification of iron from tap water, as well as a wide range of filters of various configurations and types of exposure, which will take care of the purity of water in your home.

For convenient and safe cleaning, special iron removal units are used. They are equipment operating on the principle of a grid: iron particles are captured and deposited on filters, purified water is consumed.

The equipment included in the iron removal unit consists of:

balloon,

special filters,

systems that supply and pump out water,

control unit,

add. elements.

Iron removal plants: scheme of work

The operation of treatment plants is quite simple, but it should be borne in mind that they come in several varieties. The general principle of operation, typical for all models, is to pump water through a special type of filter. Filters of reagent and reagent-free models are capable of purifying water from iron. In the first case, Fe is removed by the action of ionic salts, chlorine or ozone. In the second, oxygen acts on iron.

After passing through the filter, the water becomes pure, since the iron contained in it is oxidized, taking on a trivalent form instead of a bivalent one. Microparticles, which were previously invisible, after the filter precipitate as rust. The sediment is sifted out and remains at the bottom of the installation, while the clean liquid goes further. The drainage system removes sediment at the final stage of the complete cleaning cycle. The cylinder is under constant pressure, and the processes are monitored by an automatic unit, this happens using one of the available programs.
