Well Water Treatment Systems
Well water treatment systems remove iron, manganese, hardness, turbidity, nitrate and microbiological contamination from groundwater.
Groundwater from wells and boreholes is a valuable source for homes, farms, hotels and industrial plants, but its quality varies greatly by location. It may contain iron, manganese, hardness, turbidity, nitrate, arsenic, hydrogen sulphide or bacteria. A well water treatment system is designed around a laboratory water analysis to bring the water to drinking or process quality.
Common Problems in Well Water
- Iron and manganese: reddish-brown or black staining, metallic taste
- Hardness: scale in pipes, boilers and equipment
- Turbidity and sand: cloudy water, wear on pumps and valves
- Nitrate: often caused by agricultural activity
- High salinity (TDS): especially in coastal areas
- Microbiological contamination: bacteria and other pathogens
Treatment Technologies
- Sand and multimedia filtration
- Iron and manganese removal filters (oxidation + catalytic media)
- Activated carbon filtration for odour, taste and organics
- Water softening for hardness
- Nitrate-selective ion exchange
- Reverse osmosis for high salinity and multiple contaminants
- UV disinfection and chlorine dosing
Design Approach
We start with a water analysis and a review of flow rate, daily demand and intended use. The treatment train is then selected so that each stage protects the next, which keeps operating costs and maintenance low.
