A Mix Media Iron Removal Filtration Plant is a specialized water treatment system designed to remove dissolved iron, turbidity, and suspended impurities from water using multiple layers of filteration media. It is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial water purification systems.
🔹 Product Description
A Mix Media Iron Removal Filter consists of a pressure vessel filled with different layers of filteration materials such as:
Gravel (support layer)
Silica sand (removes suspended solids)
Manganese dioxide / manganese greensand (removes iron & manganese)
Anthracite (improves clarity and reduces turbidity)
This multi-layer arrangement allows efficient removal of iron (Fe²⁺), which is commonly found in groundwater and causes reddish stains, bad taste, and odor.
🔹 Working Principle
Oxidation Process: Dissolved iron is first oxidized (by aeration or chemical dosing like chlorine) into insoluble particles.
Filtration Stage: Water passes through multiple layers of media where iron particles and impurities are trapped.
Backwashing: Periodic reverse flow cleans the media and restores filtration efficiency.
🔹 Key Features
High efficiency iron removal (up to 5–10 ppm or more)
