Brief Description
Description : | This community-level filtration system is designed for efficient removal of iron from contaminated water using a multi-stage purification approach at flow rates of approximately 3000–3500 LPH. It is capable of treating water with iron concentrations up to ~12 ppm and produces iron-free water suitable for consumption. The system includes long-lasting filter media and supports regeneration through backwashing, making it cost-effective and scalable.
Key Features: • Flow rate of around 3000–3500 LPH, scalable for larger capacities • Removes iron (Fe II and Fe III) effectively up to ~12 ppm • Multi-stage purification system • Long-lasting media with regeneration through backwashing • Suitable for large-scale community deployment |
