c) Water distributor: The top distributor is used to achieve water inflow aeration and uniform distribution of raw water; The bottom distributor is used to block impurities and guide the treated water to flow out.

d) Multi valve control system: using control valves such as Runxin to simplify pipeline layout and improve filtration efficiency.

e) Aeration device: used to increase dissolved oxygen in water and promote iron manganese oxidation.

working principle

a) Aeration process:

The raw water is pumped to the aeration tank.

After two rounds of impeller aeration and falling water aeration, the air and water are fully mixed.

Some low-priced iron and manganese ions are oxidized to high valence states, forming precipitates of iron hydroxide and manganese oxide.

CO2 is intermittently discharged through the exhaust valve to increase the pH value and dissolved oxygen content of the water.

b) Filtering and backwashing:

Oxygen containing water enters the filtration tank and flows through the manganese sand layer.

Under the catalytic action of manganese sand, divalent iron manganese ions are oxidized into high valence states and form precipitates.

The manganese sand filtration effect removes sediment and obtains clean water.

Regularly backwash to remove sediment and impurities accumulated in manganese sand.

How to protect device operation

a) Preventing equipment corrosion:

Remove iron and manganese ions from water to reduce corrosion of pipelines, valves, and other metal components.

Reduce equipment maintenance frequency and extend service life.

b) Prevent pipeline blockage:

Effectively remove iron and manganese particles that may deposit in the pipeline and maintain smooth water flow.

Reduce the frequency of pipeline cleaning and lower maintenance costs.

c) Improve equipment efficiency:

Prevent the formation of iron and manganese deposits on the surfaces of heat exchangers, membrane systems, and other equipment.

Maintain heat transfer efficiency and filtration efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.

d) Protect subsequent processing equipment:

As a pre-treatment for disinfection equipment, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis systems, it extends the service life of these high-value devices.

Reduce membrane fouling and scaling, and lower operating costs.

e) Stable water quality:

Remove iron and manganese that cause abnormal water quality and protect downstream equipment from water quality fluctuations.

Ensure stable water quality for industrial production and reduce the risk of production interruption.

Application precautions

a) High concentration iron manganese treatment:

When the iron content in the raw water is greater than 5mg/L and the manganese content is greater than 1.5mg/L, secondary filtration is used.

Process: Groundwater → Pump → Aeration → Primary filtration (iron removal) → Secondary filtration (manganese removal)

b) Low concentration iron manganese treatment:

When the iron content in the raw water is less than 5mg/L and the manganese content is less than 1.5mg/L, primary filtration can be used.

Process: Groundwater → Deep well pump (variable frequency pump) → Aeration → Filtration (iron and manganese removal)

waste water treatment

The iron manganese filtration system is mainly used to remove iron and manganese substances from water. The presence of these substances may affect water quality, including the color, taste, and in some cases, the deposition of iron and manganese may cause damage to pipelines and equipment. Therefore, the iron manganese filtration system plays an important role in the water treatment process, especially in the pretreatment stage, to ensure that subsequent water treatment steps such as disinfection, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis can be carried out more effectively.

Pre filtration of disinfection equipment: The iron manganese filtration system can remove iron and manganese from water, thereby reducing the impact of these metal ions on disinfection equipment. By pre filtering, disinfection equipment can be protected, its service life can be extended, and the disinfection effect can be ensured to be more effective.

Pre treatment of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems: The iron manganese filtration system, as a pre-treatment step of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems, can remove most of the iron and manganese in water, reduce the deposition of these metal ions on ultrafiltration or reverse osmosis membranes, protect membrane components, avoid blockage and damage, and ensure long-term stable operation of the system.

The iron manganese filtration system plays an important role in flushing water treatment, irrigation systems, reservoir water filtration, and groundwater filtration. ‌

The iron manganese filtration system is mainly used to remove iron and manganese ions from water, which are usually present in groundwater and some surface water. If the content exceeds the standard, it may have an impact on water quality. By using iron and manganese removal filtration equipment, iron and manganese in water can be effectively removed, ensuring the purity and safety of water quality. The working principle of these devices is mainly to oxidize iron and manganese ions in water by flushing or adding oxidants, and then undergo contact oxidation reaction and biochemical and physical interception adsorption on the surface of the filter material in the manganese sand filter layer, thereby removing iron and manganese ions from the water. In addition, the fully automatic iron and manganese removal filter can not only be used to remove iron and manganese substances from the system, purify water quality, but also for water decolorization, deodorization, etc. It is widely used in industries such as food, beverage, papermaking, brewing, as well as underground water and well water as drinking water for iron removal, geothermal engineering, and swimming pool circulating water needs.

In flushing water treatment, the iron manganese filtration system can remove iron and manganese that enter the system due to equipment or pipeline corrosion, ensuring the quality of flushing water and avoiding further corrosion or blockage of equipment and pipelines. In irrigation systems, using water filtered with iron and manganese can prevent damage to plant roots due to high iron and manganese content, while ensuring the quality of irrigation water and promoting healthy plant growth. In the filtration of reservoir water and groundwater, the iron manganese filtration system can effectively remove iron and manganese from the water, ensuring the quality of the reservoir and groundwater, and avoiding the potential harm of these metal ions to human health.

conclusion

The iron and manganese filtration system effectively removes iron and manganese from water, not only ensuring water quality, but more importantly, protecting various equipment in the entire water treatment system. By reducing corrosion, preventing blockages, maintaining equipment efficiency, and stabilizing water quality, this system greatly extends equipment life, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures the stability and efficiency of the entire water treatment process. Iron manganese filtration systems play an indispensable role in various fields such as industrial production, municipal water supply, and environmental protection.
