Iron Removal Filter

The Iron Removal Filters are designed to remove the excess Iron content present in the feed water with minimum pressure drop. Most iron filtration systems operate on the principal of oxidizing the iron (oxidation) to convert it from a ferrous (dissolved or soluble) to a ferric or undissolved state. For low Iron content in feed water, the Filter consists of Manganese Zeolite, where the iron is oxidized to insoluble hydrated oxides that are removed by the mechanical filtering action of the Zeolite bed. Similar to Media and Carbon Filter based on the source of water/waste water it is installed in the tertiary treatment post biological treatment.

Iron removal Systems are also a form of media filtration as the iron filtration systems are also basically a filtration vessel filled with iron removal filtration media such as Manganese Zeolite. In industrial applications, especially from sources in which there are a high dissolved iron contamination, Iron Removal Filters are required in order to reduce the contaminant otherwise, in some other application, when there is a higher persisting dissolved iron content, an iron filter is required in order not to promote corrosion.
