Iron Removal filter for a house with Iron media like BIRM , GREEN SAND and MNO2

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
• Dull hair
• Worn, scratchy clothes
• Lime scale or other build up around drains, faucets, and fixtures
• Water that takes a lot of soap or time to lather
• Rust-colored stains in sinks and tubs

LIMIT:Iron and Manganese < 0.3 ppm

Iron Water Treatment: The most common method of removing iron from borewell water is by using Manganese Greensand or BIRM.

       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.
