Know the signs to identify iron in water
Look for these signs around your home that can indicate iron in your water:
  • Dry, itchy skin

      For most residential situations, a 1000LPH is the maximum you should consider.Other capacities available are 2000 LPH, 3000LPH, 4000LPH and 5000 LPH.  

       ABOUT THE IRON REMOVAL MEDIA



          An iron problem is characterized by the red-brown staining of bathroom fixtures and laundry. In well water, iron usually occurs in its ferrous state. The water is clear when drawn but once exposed to air the iron changes into a ferric (oxidized) state. The water turns red and forms insoluble “rust” particles. Staining can be caused by as little as 0.3 milligrams per litre (mg/L).
industries like pulp and paper mills, tanneries, textile plants, dye houses and laundries, it is almost impossible to operate with iron or manganese bearing waters since they would produce objectionable stains, streaks, spots and off-colors on many manufactured products. Iron and manganese also foul ion exchange resins. Hence, it is necessary to include a pre treatment stage in most ion exchange processes. 
If the major problem in borewell water is iron, then the best solution is to go for either a Manganese Greensand or BIRM treatment of the well water.

BIRM is an efficient and economical method of removing dissolved iron and manganese compounds from raw water supplies.The physical characteristics of Birm provide an excellent filter media which is easily cleaned by backwashing to remove the precipitant. Birm is not consumed by iron removal and therefore offers a tremendous economic advantage over many other iron removal methods. Birm is not meant for removal of hydrogen sulfide or that "rotten egg" odor. A manganese green sand media,  is more suited for that task.



Advantages:
  • No chemicals to purchase for
    maintenance. Regeneration not
    required.
  • Iron removal efficiency is extremely high.
  • Works best at PH 6.8 or above.
  • Negligible labor cost: 
  • Durable material with a long life and wide temperature range.


Greensand is formulated from a glauconite greensand which is capable of removing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from water through oxidation and filtration. Manganese and soluble iron are oxidized and precipitated by contact with higher oxides of manganese on the greensand granules. The hydrogen sulfied is eliminated by oxidation to sulfate and an insoluble precipitate. When the manganese greensand bed is saturated, it is regenerated with a weak potassium permanganate solution which is rinsed down the drain. The potassium permanganate is available locally at nearly all hardware and home improvement stores.You will need guidance to set the backwashing dosing of potassium permanganate, so contact some experienced person for it.


Advantages:

  • Iron reduction over wide pH range
  • Effective reduction of hydrogen sulfide in addition to iron and/or manganese
  • No harmful effects from a chlorine feed
  • Low attrition for long bed life

Manganese di oxide: It helps elimination of iron, hydrogen sulphide, and manganese from water supplies.


You will need to consult an expert in water treatment to decide on the best treatment for well water with high iron content.

http://www.raindancewatersystems.com/commercialfilters.html Birm does not require chemicals for regeneration, only periodic backwashing is required. When using Birm for iron removal, it is necessary that the water: contain no iron bacteria or hydrogen sulfide. If the influent water has a pH of less that 6.8, neutralizing additives such as Calcite or soda ash may be used to raise the pH. If chlorinating Birm will not remove any residual chlorine in the water. Birm may also be used for manganese reduction with the same dependability as iron removal. In these applications the water to be treated should have a pH of 8.0-9.0 for best results.
Hi tech digital 263/740i control valve. (1.0" connections standard, 3/4" available - please specify). The timer-based unit controls the backwash cycle, to assure dependability and high efficiency.

Filter Media – BIRM

Iron and Manganese removal
Supplied in 25Kg bags
What it is and how it works
Birm is a black granular filter material used for removal of iron and/or manganese from water in pressure or gravity systems.
It contains an active insoluble catalyst to precipitate iron and/or manganese. Because the presence of iron is most common, iron removal is the usual application for Birm. Under suitable conditions, the iron and dissolved oxygen in water react on contact with the Birm filter bed and, as a result, the iron is precipitated in the form of hydroxide. This is a flocculent material which is filtered out in the bed of Birm. Periodic backwashing flushes out the accumulated iron and the Birm is again ready to perform its function. Birm is not consumed in the iron removal operation.
Advantages
·         No chemicals to purchase for maintenance. Regeneration not required.
·         Iron removal efficiency is extremely high.
·         Negligible labour cost. Only periodic backwashing required once in a week.
·         Durable material with a long life. It lasts 4-7 Years according to use.
·         Wide temperature range application.
Conditions necessary for the use of Birm
Iron Removal
·         No hydrogen sulphide present.
·         Organic matter not to exceed 4-5 ppm as indicated by the oxygen consumed value.
·         Oil must not be present.
·         A dissolved oxygen content of at least 15% of the iron. (Example Iron = 10ppm. Dissolved Oxygen = 1.5 ppm or more).
·         A pH of 6.5 or higher.
Note: The correction of waters having a pH of less than 6.5 can be accomplished by several methods. Provide Aeration.
Instructions for industrial and municipal installations
·         Bed depth: 30 ­ 38 inches.
·         Standard graded gravel supporting bed depth ­14 inches or more.
·         Service flow rate: not to exceed 4 GPM per square foot.
·         Freeboard space: 35 to 50% of bed depth.
·         Backwash whenever the pressure loss through the bed increases by 2 to 3 pounds per square inch. Backwashing is usually complete within 20 to 30 minutes.
Instructions for domestic installations
·         Bed depth: approximately 24 to 30 inches.
·         Standard graded gravel-supporting bed ­ 8 inches or more.
·         Service flow rate: not to exceed 5 GPM per square foot.
·         Freeboard space: 35 to 50% of bed depth.

·         Backwashing is recommended every 7 days to 2 weeks. In treatment of high iron content waters, backwashing more frequently is desirable.If 8 gallons per minute per square foot of bed are not available for backwashing fine Birm, an air wash is recommended. This may be accomplished by drawing air through an injector into the water for backwashing.
