Borehole Water Treatment: Removing Iron and Suspended Particles

Borehole Water Treatment: Removing Iron and Suspended Particles

The Challenge

Borehole water often contains high levels of suspended iron, sediment, and particulate matter that can stain equipment, affect water quality, and create operational problems in industrial processes.

The Solution: Effective Pre-treatment

Filter bags provide reliable removal of suspended particles and precipitated iron, improving water quality for industrial use while protecting downstream equipment.

Recommended Filter Selection:

  • Iron Removal: Polypropylene felt (5 - 50 micron) after oxidation
  • Sediment Removal: Graduated approach starting with 100-200 micron
  • High Flow Applications: Size 2 bags or multi-bag systems

Key Benefits

  • Removes iron staining and particulates
  • Protects downstream processes and equipment
  • Cost-effective compared to complex treatment systems
  • Easy maintenance and monitoring

Treatment Strategy

Iron removal typically requires oxidation followed by filtration. Start with coarser filtration and progress to finer ratings as water quality improves.
