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.
