Iron Removal Filter (IRF) Systems

Advanced pressure vessel filtration units utilizing catalytic media beds to convert and trap dissolved iron, preventing red-brown staining and protecting delicate membrane systems.

IRON REMOVAL FILTER (IRF)

Efficient Iron Removal for Reliable Water Treatment

Iron Removal Filter (IRF) Systems are designed for the effective removal of iron from raw water and process water to improve water quality and protect downstream treatment equipment.

The system typically uses a pressure vessel filled with suitable filtration and/or iron-removal media. Depending on the feed-water characteristics, iron can be converted from its dissolved form into an oxidized, particulate form and subsequently retained within the filter bed.

The treated water passes through the media bed, while iron precipitates and other suspended particles are retained. Periodic backwashing removes the accumulated solids and restores the filtration capacity of the media.

Key Features

  • Effective reduction of iron in water
  • Pressure vessel-based compact design
  • Suitable filtration media selected according to water chemistry
  • Automatic or manual backwash arrangement
  • Robust construction for industrial and commercial applications
  • Simple operation and maintenance
  • Suitable for integration with WTP, RO and other water-treatment systems
  • Customized design based on feed-water quality and required treated-water parameters
  • Skid-mounted and packaged configurations can be provided

Typical Applications

Iron Removal Filter systems are suitable for:

  • Borewell and groundwater treatment
  • Industrial raw-water treatment
  • Process-water treatment
  • Water treatment plants
  • RO pre-treatment
  • Boiler-feed water pre-treatment
  • Cooling-water applications
  • Pharmaceutical and chemical industries
  • Food & beverage industries
  • Textile industries
  • Hotels, institutions and residential developments

Benefits

  • Improved Water Quality
    Reduces iron-related colour, staining and associated water-quality problems.
  • Protection of Downstream Equipment
    Helps reduce the iron loading on downstream RO membranes, ion-exchange systems and other treatment equipment, when appropriately designed.
  • Reliable Operation
    A properly selected media bed and backwash system helps maintain filtration performance over repeated operating cycles.
  • Customized Engineering
    The system can be designed according to the raw-water characteristics, flow requirement and downstream process requirements.
