In this article we look at how iron affects water quality and the different methods available for removing iron from groundwater Iron in Groundwater Iron, which is naturally present in rock and soil, is easily dissolved in water. As a result of this, water sourced from boreholes, otherwise known as groundwater can have excess iron present. When groundwater contains oxidised iron it is often evident due to the certain brownish colour present, however, it commonly …

Common sense would suggest that a 1µm rated filter would filter out all cryptosporidium oocysts from the source – since they’re larger than the filter’s pore size – providing clean, potable water at the outlet. However, that unfortunately is not the case. What does the 1µm rating mean? It is a popular misconception that the filters are rated by measuring the size of the …

Turbidity is one of the critical measures of water quality and is used by both water supply companies and industry regulators to ensure the water clarity is acceptable to the consumers. European Water Quality Directives, the World Health Organisation and the Drinking Water Inspectorate in the UK specify what is required to ensure the water supplied is ‘wholesome’ and turbidity limits are typically set at <1 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) and often set at <0.5NTU …

Let’s explore the different methods adopted when challenged with providing reliable chlorine removal solutions for public water supply. De-Chlorination – Treatment There will be occasions when water destined for public water supply, that has already been treated with chlorine, will have to be released back into the local water-course. Occasions such as filter backwash water, lagoon discharges, raw water, and treated water that cannot be put into supply (such as during treatment start-up or out …
