Iron Removal Filtration System

Capable of handling iron concentrations from 5 to 50 ppm (on a non-reagent basis), the Newterra Iron Removal System also helps reduce other pollutants, including hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, methane, radon, manganese, and organic substances. The core of the system is special polymer floating media that effectively filter the water but does not require regeneration or replacement. The system first oxidizes the ferrous (dissolved) iron, which allows the removal of all four types of iron to levels below 0.3 ppm. Backflush containing the concentrated iron is chemically treated and run through an automatic particulate filter.
In addition to our advanced technology-based system, Newterra offers other concentrating solutions approaches for iron removal from water: Green Sand Filtering and Backwash Systems for applications under 4 ppm and chemical treatment and clarification or membrane treatment above 50 ppm. These approaches also involve a filtration process with backwashing capabilities that produce a low volume of water with higher iron concentrations than the full process stream. The backwash water is typically sent to a holding tank and treated with flocculation and coagulation agents for efficient iron removal.
