Iron Removal Plants Chennai | Iron Removal Filters in Chennai

As per WHO (World Health Organization) and IS 10500:2012 standards, the permissible limit of iron content in water should be less than 0.3 mg/l or ppm. If the iron content in water is more than this limit, then the water is considered to be contaminated with iron.

Factors that lead to excessive iron content in water include sub-soil characteristics, mining activities, partially treated or untreated industrial wastewater etc. Iron can be present in water both in dissolved form (Ferrous) and suspended form (Ferric Hydroxide).

Iron content in ground water in many parts of Chennai is far higher than the permissible limits and even goes up to as high as 20 mg/l (ppm). For instance, ground water in areas such as Anna Nagar West, Mogappair, Nolambur, Ambattur, Avadi, Vadapalani, Virugambakkam, Saligramam, Valasaravakkam, Porur up to Kundrathur, Mylapore, RA Puram, Thiruvanmiyur and Thiruvottiyur have iron content anywhere between 3 to 20 ppm.

Given this type of varying iron content, a properly designed Iron Removal Plant has become an absolute necessity in Chennai. Thousands of homes, villas, apartments, offices, educational institutions, commercial organizations and industrial establishments use iron removal plants in Chennai.

Iron removal involves a two-stage process of oxidation and filtration. First, the dissolved iron (ferrous) content is converted into suspended iron (ferric hydroxide) and thereafter the suspended iron is effectively filtered.

The size of the aeration tank, iron removal plant specifications, media composition and other associated pre and post treatment processes are completely formula-driven and are based on the specific characteristics of raw water. Eg., pH, iron content, type of iron content

Iron is one of the vital nutrients for good health. It is also a major component of haemoglobin present in our blood. It has been found that iron deficiency in human body can lead to an increase in the absorption of lead and toxicity in the body. But at the same time, excessive iron content can potentially lead to chronic health issues and the forms of iron generally found in water are not advisable for human consumption. Regular intake of iron-contaminated water can lead to impairment of digestive processes, loss of appetite, nausea, chronic gastrointestinal diseases in addition to damaging blood vessels, liver, heart, kidneys and tissues in the long term.

Besides, water with excessive iron content is not palatable due to its metal taste and offensive odour. Iron content also carries with it the bacteria that feed off the iron to survive. These microorganisms can be very harmful to human health.
