Iron Filtration

Iron Filtration & Iron Removal Perth

Land & Water Technology specialise in Iron Filtration & Removal. From Schools, Councils & Parks to large scale Industrial Mining Operations located throughout Metro & Regional Western Australia.

Iron is a common water contaminant. It can be difficult to remove because it may change its valence state that is change from the water soluble ferrous state (Fe2+) to the insoluble Ferric State (Fe3+). When Oxygen or an oxidizing agent is introduced, ferrous states changes to ferric which is insoluble and it precipitates, leading to a rusty (red – brown) appearance in water. This change can occur when deep well water is pumped into a distribution system where it adsorbs oxygen. Ferric iron has to be removed before it destroys valves, piping all other water treatment equipment and water-using devices.

Problems with Iron in Water

When there are high levels of iron in water, you will see this from the black and red stains left by the minerals. These stains accumulate and build up deposits in pipes and the areas around it. You often see paving, concrete, garden walls etc stained with this mineral which has not been treated.

How does it get in the water?

Iron typically comes from the rocks and soils around the water source. As water moves through the rocks and into the aquafer, it disolves the iron that is naturally found in the envirionment.

*Individual results may vary from bore location, water quality and other contaminants.
