A Compact Equipment for Removing Dissolved Iron from Drinking Water

Abstract

Iron is an essential mineral for health, but more than desired content in water may become objectionable as it will give a rusty colour on laundered clothes and affect the taste and may cause odour. A new effective and economic product was developed for removing iron from waterworks on the principle of cascading aeration. It requires only less space, zero maintenance, it is energy efficient and it can be used for water with a range of iron content.
