RRR
5000 LPH Iron Removal Plant
Turnkey oxidation + media filtration system — robust, automatic backwash, designed for industrial & municipal feeds.
Quick Specs
| Capacity | 5000 LPH (5.0 m³/hr) |
|---|---|
| Daily (24 hr) | 120 m³/day |
| Typical raw Fe | 0.5 – 10 mg/L (design per site report) |
| Design outlet Fe | < 0.3 mg/L (or per client spec) |
| Process | Aeration / Oxidation → Media Filtration (Greensand / Catalytic / Birm / MnOx) → Automatic backwash → pH adjust / polishing |
| MOC (typical) | Pressure vessels: FRP / MS (epoxy) / SS304 (as required) |
| Automation | PLC / Timer controlled backwash, level & pressure interlocks |
Final design, media choice and chemical dosing recommended after site feed report (Fe, Mn, pH, DO, turbidity, temperature).
Process Outline (short)
- Screen / Sand Trap — remove coarse solids.
- Aeration / Oxidation — convert soluble Fe(II) to particulate Fe(III) using atmospheric aeration or chemical oxidant (hypochlorite / permanganate) if needed.
- Coagulation (optional) — in high turbidity feeds.
- Media Filter — GreensandPlus / catalytic manganese oxide media / birm to remove oxidized iron & manganese.
- Automatic Backwash — timed or differential pressure triggered, with waste valve and drain.
- Polishing — cartridge filter / activated carbon (if organics) + pH correction.
Equipment List (indicative)
- Raw water coarse screen / sand trap
- Aeration tank / oxidation contactor or chemical dosing skid (NaOCl / KMnO4)
- Pressure media filter vessels (FRP / SS) with multiport valves
- Filter media: GreensandPlus / Catalytic media / Birm (as selected)
- Backwash pump & drain arrangement
- Cartridge filters (5 µm) for polishing
- pH correction & dosing pumps (if required)
- PLC / control panel, level switches, pressure gauges
Expected Performance & Notes
- Typical outlet iron: < 0.3 mg/L (depending on influent & media)
- Manganese removal: depends on media selection — greensand/catalytic media preferred for Mn.
- Backwash waste ~2–5% of treated volume (site dependent)
- Media life: 3–7 years depending on feed & maintenance
Short FAQ
Q: Will this remove dissolved iron?
A: Dissolved (ferrous) iron must be oxidised to ferric (particulate) — we provide aeration or chemical oxidation prior to media filtration.
Q: Do you handle manganese?
A: Yes — choose catalytic media (GreensandPlus / MnOx) and correct pre-oxidation; design per lab report.
