The Iron and Manganese Filtration System efficiently removes excess iron and manganese ions from underground water sources. It ensures the water meets required quality standards for subsequent pre-filter systems, thereby ensuring smooth operation of equipment.
System Components
Filtration tank. A set of two FRP tanks: one is for aeration and one is for filtration.
Media. This system adopts a very effective ion and manganese filtration material, can be backwashed by water.
Water distributor. Top distributor can help to achieve falling aeration of raw water and evenly distribution in the filtering tank. Bottom distributor can block impurities and help treated water flows out.
Air Compressor. mainly used to provide air for the aeration of water.
Multiport control valves. Runxin control valves are available to make filter running more efficient.
Operating Principle
Groundwater → Pump → Aeration →Iron & Manganese Filtration
1- Aeration: Raw water is pumped into the aeration tank where it is thoroughly mixed with air. During this process, low-valent iron and manganese ions undergo oxidation to form high-valent ions, resulting in the creation of filterable particles. These particles can be efficiently filtered out using Birm media.
2- Filtration & Backwashing: The aerated water, rich in dissolved oxygen, enters the filter tank and passes through our Birm filtration media. As it flows through, iron and manganese ions oxidize further, forming hydroxide precipitates. The filtration media effectively removes these precipitates, resulting in clean water.
Through the backwashing operation of the Runxin filter valve, the hydroxide precipitates and impurities in the manganese sand are discharged from the filter tank by regular backwashing.
