Depending upon the contamination of iron in the water, oxidation or filtration methods is used. Before deciding on the type of the iron removal process used, it is best to get the water tested for the amount of iron contamination. Assistance from qualified laboratory can give a clear picture about the type of iron removal process that may be effective. If there are only iron pollutants and no hydrogen sulfide in the water then it can be neutralized by increasing the ph. Aeration process can be effective if parameters like volume, dimension and design of the tank are considered. Filtration process is successful based on engineering accuracy, media efficiency, preventive maintenance and regular usage.
