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.
