The iron removal filters that we manufacture are widely used to eliminate turbidity, suspended particles, color, odor and iron that are available in raw water. These filters are known for their easy operation and give crystal clear water. Iron is unaesthetic parameters present mostly in groundwater, causing unwanted precipitation and color. Next to hardness, the presence of iron is probably the most common water problem faced by consumers and water treatment professionals. Iron and manganese in excess of the suggested maximum contaminant levels (MCL) usually results in discolored water, laundry, and plumbing fixtures.

Iron removal by physical-chemical way consists in iron oxidation by air followed by sand filtration.
Oxidation can be carried out by various chemicals like chlorine, ozone but is mostly done by compressed air.
Complex bound iron and manganese, e.g. complex bound with humic acids, can be very difficult to remove. In this case oxidation with ozone can be a solution.

Iron removal is based on the precipitation of dissolved iron (Fe2+) into its oxidized form (Fe3+), as Fe(OH)3 or Fe2O3.
Iron removal filter is processed catalytic filtration unit when the raw water passed through the layer of compressed air, processed catalyst & quartz filter media respectively. The dissolved ferrous iron salts are converted into insoluble ferric salt and precipitin over the filter bed and then the iron free filtered water comes out. Only backwashing with clear water and compressed air" is required for cleaning the bed.
