Iron removal

Illustration: Iron removal

The problem

Iron and manganese levels in Estonian groundwater often exceed drinking water limits (iron 0.2 mg/l, manganese 0.05 mg/l). They cause brown and black deposits, clog pipes and equipment, spoil product quality and shorten the life of membranes and ion exchange resins. We use aeration, oxidation and catalytic filter media, choosing the method from a water analysis (iron, manganese, pH, oxygen, permanganate index).

Our solution

Together we determine your needs, supply suitable equipment or materials, install them and keep the system running with maintenance. We have 15 years of experience in water treatment and work across Estonia.

Price

Price depends on water quality, required capacity and installation scope. We prepare an exact quote after a water analysis or site details.

Service area

We are based in Tartu County (Rehepapi põik 3, Soinaste küla, Kambja vald) and mainly serve Tartu and Harju counties – Tartu, Tallinn and the surrounding areas. We also travel to sites anywhere in Estonia.

Frequently asked questions: Iron removal

Why is iron removal important in industry?

Iron and manganese cause deposits in pipework and equipment, impair product quality and shorten the life of membranes and ion exchange resins.

Which iron removal methods do you use?

We use aeration and oxidation combined with filtration, catalytic filter media and, where needed, chemical oxidation. The method is chosen based on the water analysis.

Which water parameters are needed to choose iron removal?

Iron and manganese content, pH, oxygen content, permanganate index and the required capacity are important.

Can iron removal be combined with other solutions?

Yes. Iron removal is often followed by water softening, reverse osmosis or disinfection, depending on water quality requirements.
