Automatic Backwash Iron Removers

Iron is found in nature as insoluble Fe+3 and soluble Fe+2.

-This valuable iron is mostly found in underground waters.

When exposed to oxygen, it turns into Fe+3.

-High concentrations of iron in water cause color and turbidity.

- It accumulates on the inner walls of water pipes, causing the cross-section to narrow and load losses to increase.

-Iron causes bacteria to multiply in the pipes through which water is transmitted.

-These bacterial masses cause the pipes to narrow down, and the drinking water to become contaminated.

It causes pollution and clogging of parts such as pipes, valves and water meters.

-These bacteria, which decay over time, give the water a bad taste and odor.

-For iron, concentrations around 0.3 mg/l in drinking water cause problems.

-It is removed from water by oxidation and conversion into an insoluble form.

-In domestic systems, the backwash process is performed with hydropneumatic valves via the control panel, and in surface piping systems, with actuator valves via the PLC system.

-The washing time is programmed according to the dirtiness of the water.
