Iron Removal Plant

Iron Removal PLANT in Beemannapettai chennai

Iron in portable water causes a bitter taste, oxidized precipitates, and a yellowish-brown to reddish-brown coloration, making the water unsuitable. It also stains surfaces. Iron exists as ferrous (Fe++) or ferric (Fe+++), with ferric iron typically precipitating out. Iron forms complexes with hydroxides and inorganic compounds, and organic substances can increase its solubility. Consequently, water with high alkalinity usually contains less iron than water with low alkalinity.

Causes of Iron

Iron contamination stains sinks, bathroom tiles, faucets, and fixtures. It also corrodes pipes and damages appliances such as washing machines, water heaters, dishwashers, steam irons, showers, and radiators. This contamination can reduce the lifespan and efficiency of these items by up to 50%. As a result, maintenance and running costs can increase by 25%.
Consuming iron-contaminated water can lead to loss of appetite and tissue damage. Bathing in this water can also cause skin rashes and hair loss.

Iron Removal Process Description

Stage I - Chemical Dosing

We adjust the pH factor through chemical pretreatment to facilitate rapid aeration. After adjusting the pH, we send the chemically dosed water into the aeration tanks.

Stage II- Online Aeration Type

We send chemically dosed water into an aeration tank with three chambers. In the first chamber, raw water sprinkles through specially designed perforated pipes. The water then moves through the other two chambers via precisely designed vents at varying levels in the bifurcated walls. This setup creates a zigzag motion. By the time the water reaches the third chamber, the dissolved iron oxidizes and forms suspended iron particles.

8 Hours Storage Aeration Type

We pump chemically dosed water into the aeration tank. Raw water sprinkles through specially designed perforated pipes and remains in the tank for about 8 to 10 hours. During this time, the water undergoes natural oxidation. As a result, the iron in the water becomes suspended iron.

Stage III - Filtration

We pass the water with suspended iron through the iron removal unit. The filter media, supported on a gravel bed, consists of layers of progressively larger sizes: manganese dioxide, activated carbon (900 IV), graded quartz sand, fine sand, superfine white sand, and pebbles. These layers retain the suspended iron particles. During the filtration cycle, the filter bed captures dirt and suspended iron particles, and accumulates them within the filter.

Backwash

As filtration progresses, the filter media loads with retained particles, causing a continuous increase in pressure drop across the filter. When the pressure drop reaches a predetermined level, we shut down the filter for cleaning. After backwashing, we rinse the filter media with raw or treated water. We then put the filter back into service once the water quality meets standards.

Product Model

Our NONFERR iron removal plants include mild steel, stainless steel, or FRP pressure vessels. They feature frontal piping work with manual or automatic multi-port valves, butterfly valves, or conventional valves for easy operation and control. We offer these plants with capacities ranging from 1,000 liters per hour to 1,000,000 liters per day.
