Iron and Manganese Removal Filter Equipment Introduction
Iron and manganese removal filter equipment is a fully automatic water purification device specially designed for excessive iron and manganese ions in groundwater, well water, deep well water and mountain spring water.
Excessive iron and manganese in groundwater will cause yellowish or reddish turbid water, rusty odor, pipeline rusting, sanitary ware yellowing, boiler corrosion and other problems. Adopting manganese sand catalytic oxidation combined with physical filtration technology, this equipment efficiently removes iron and manganese ions in water, delivering clear, odorless water without rusting or yellow scale. It is widely used in rural water supply, factories, boiler rooms, aquaculture, food, chemical industry, centralized water supply projects and other fields. Featuring fully automatic operation, automatic backwashing, unattended running, low operating cost and stable effect, it is the most mainstream and economical treatment equipment for groundwater iron and manganese removal.
Working Principle of Iron and Manganese Removal Filter Equipment
The equipment adopts contact oxidation and manganese sand catalytic filtration principle:
1. Oxidation reaction: Iron and manganese containing water enters the filter. Ferrous and manganese ions undergo catalytic oxidation on the surface of manganese sand, forming insoluble ferric oxide and manganese dioxide.
2. Filtration and interception: Oxidized iron-manganese flocs are adsorbed and intercepted by the manganese sand filter layer to realize solid-liquid separation.
3. Clean water output: Water after iron and manganese removal becomes clear, non-yellow, non-red and rust-free, flowing out from the water outlet.
4. Automatic backwashing: The equipment automatically starts backwashing according to time or pressure difference, discharging iron-manganese sediment inside the filter layer and restoring filtration capacity without frequent filter material replacement.
Advantages of Iron and Manganese Removal Filter Equipment
1. High iron and manganese removal efficiency. Iron removal rate above 95%, manganese removal rate over 90% with stable and long-lasting performance.
2. Completely solve yellow water, red water and rusty water problems. Effluent remains clear without yellowing, reddening or rusty odor.
3. Fully automatic operation with unattended running. Automatic filtration, backwashing and Wastewater discharge with simple operation.
4. Extremely low operating cost. Low power and water consumption; manganese sand filter material service life reaches 3–5 years with almost no consumables replacement.
5. Robust structure, corrosion resistance and long service life. The tank is made of carbon steel anti-corrosion, FRP or stainless steel, with a service life of 10–15 years.
6. Small footprint and easy installation. Available for indoor, outdoor, rooftop, machine room and well side installation.
7. Safe and hygienic without water pollution. Pure physical treatment without chemical additives, ensuring safe and reliable effluent quality.
8. Multi-stage combined application available. Can be matched with quartz sand, activated carbon and water softening equipment to form a complete water purification system.
