Soluble iron removal
TRILITY was engaged by a leading Victorian tree nursery to design and manufacture a water treatment solution to remove soluble iron from the nursery’s raw bore water. The soluble iron in the water was gradually oxidising throughout the irrigation network causing continual system blockages, along with extensive operational time and cost ramifications.
Initially the dissolved iron in the raw bore water was measured at 55mg/L. After pH correction the levels of dissolved iron decreased to less than 0.03mg/L.
