Rooftop Central Iron Removal Water Plant

General Details

  • Type: Centralized Iron Removal System
  • Application: Suitable for residential, commercial, or industrial rooftop installations.
  • Primary Function: Removal of iron (Fe), turbidity, manganese, and other contaminants.

2. Filtration Capacity

  • Flow Rate:
    • Domestic: 500–5000 Liters Per Hour (LPH)
    • Commercial/Industrial: 5000–50,000 LPH or more, based on requirement.
  • Iron Removal Efficiency: Up to 99% for iron levels between 5–25 ppm.
  • Water Hardness: Supports a range of hardness levels, if integrated with softener modules.

3. Technology & Filtration Process

  • Multi-stage Filtration:
    1. Sand/Gravel Filter: Removes suspended solids, turbidity, and sediment.
    2. Manganese Greensand/Activated Carbon Filter: Oxidizes and removes dissolved iron and manganese.
    3. Catalytic Media (optional): Enhances the iron oxidation process for high-efficiency iron removal.
    4. Micron Filters: Removes fine particles and residual impurities.
    5. Optional Chlorination/UV Disinfection: Ensures microbiological safety.
  • Backwashing System: Automatic or manual backwash for cleaning the filter media.

4. Technical Specifications

  • Power Supply:
    • Voltage: 220–240V AC, 50 Hz (for pump and automation systems).
  • Operating Pressure: 1.5–5.0 kg/cm².
  • Material of Construction:
    • Filter Tank: FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), Mild Steel (MS), or Stainless Steel (SS 304/316).
    • Piping: PVC/UPVC/HDPE or Stainless Steel (for durability).
  • Control System:
    • Manual or PLC-based automation with solenoid valves.
    • Pressure gauges for monitoring.

5. Dimensions & Weight

  • Footprint: Varies based on capacity (e.g., 2m² for 5000 LPH systems).
  • Height: Typically 1.5–2.5 meters for filter tanks.
  • Weight: Dependent on media type and capacity (200–1000 kg with media).

6. Media & Consumables

  • Filter Media:
    • Sand and Gravel.
    • Manganese Greensand or Activated Carbon.
    • Catalytic Iron Removal Media (e.g., Birm or Katalox Light).
  • Media Life:
    • Sand: ~5 years (with proper maintenance).
    • Carbon/Greensand: ~2–3 years (depends on iron levels and usage).

7. Additional Features

  • Rust and Corrosion Resistance: Essential for rooftop installations exposed to elements.
  • Water Storage Tank Compatibility: Can integrate with rooftop tanks.
  • Low Maintenance: Requires periodic backwashing and occasional media replacement.
  • Overflow Protection: Optional sensors to prevent tank overflow.
