SENCO Iron Removal Plant for Hand pump

Description Iron Removal plant for hand pump ismild steel fabricated rugged filter vesselfilled with Iron removal resin. The innerwall of the IRP is given anticorrosiverubber paint. It is fitted with a 3 wayvalve and has inlet and outletconnection as in the photograph.

Working

Water from the hand pump is passed thoughthe inlet of the IRP. The water passes througha bed of Iron removal resin where Iron contentis removed and Iron free water flows out,through the outlet. After a period of time theresin gets saturated and has to be regenerated.This regeneration process is done by justbackwashing and without addition of anychemicals.

Backwashing The three way valve is changed from filter

position to backwash position. Now the hand

pump is pumped and the water flows in to

the IRP but in the opposite direction. Now all

the accumulated Iron in the media will get

washed off and will pass to the drainage.

Once the water coming out of the IRP is clean

then it is understood that all the iron content

is removed. Now the resin is ready for the

next operation. Turn the 3 way valve to filter

position and continue to get iron free water.

The interval between the backwashing will be

dependant on the iron content in water. It is

generally recommended to backwash once

everyday for about 5-10 minutes.

Installation

This IRP can be installed near the existing hand

pump on the hand pump platform and can be

connected with existing hand pumps using GI
