Title:

High Flow Rate Iron Removal Filter
Value Proposition:

Efficient removal of iron contamination, Fe(II) and Fe(III) for producing iron-free clean water.
Summary Application:

The salient features of the technology :-

  • Affordable, high-flow rate water filter
  • Filterable water with maximum iron concentration ~ 12 ppm
  • Long-lasting media
  • Purification: 3-stage
  • Flow rate:  3000-3500 L/Hour
  • Regeneration of the media by the back-wash facility
  • Application: Environmental (Clean Tech.) - Water treatment.
  • The technology has been transferred to 12 Indian Industries in non-excl.basis.
Advantages:

Provides iron free water for the rural masses with flow rate 3000-3500 L/Hour and 3-stage purification. It is useful for removal of iron from ground water from ~10 ppm to below WHO limit.
