Iron and manganese removal from groundwater by filtration through a chalcedonite bed
The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of iron and manganese removal from groundwater using chalcedonite sand as a filter bed in rapid filtration. The experiment was conducted at a pilot plant. At the first stage of research, chalcedonite and silica sand were compared. The ripening time for manganese removal of chalcedonite was 27 days while silica sand was ripened within ...

The on-site feasibility study of iron and manganese removal from groundwater by hollow-fiber microfiltration
The aim of this research was to investigate the removal of iron and manganese from groundwater by aeration, chlorine oxidation and microfiltration (MF). Pilot-scale experiments were performed at the Chang-Hua Water Treatment Plant in Taiwan. The raw waters contained soluble iron (0.4 mg/L) and manganese (0.5 mg/L) which were oxidized by chlorine and then filtered by hollow-fiber PTFE-MF. The ...

Treatment of arsenic-contaminated water using in-line electrolysis, co-precipitation and filtration in Costa Rica
A novel treatment was tested with groundwater to investigate its arsenic removal under natural conditions. The system utilised in-line electrochlorination to oxidise water constituents without the need for external chemical supply. The oxidised arsenic and iron co-precipitated and were filtered via Greensand Plus™. The filter was catalytically active and provided an emergency oxidant. The ...

Project profile - confidential client environmental remediation project Delray Beach, Florida
Background Levine Fricke Engineers (LFE), an environmental firm under contract to Blackstone Consultants LLC (Blackstone), was responsible for specifying and selecting a cleanup remedy for a former contaminated nursery site located in Delray Beach, Florida. LFE and Blackstone performed site characterization and demonstrated that site groundwater contained very high arsenic concentrations. ...

Biological active groundwater filters: exploiting natural diversity
In the Netherlands, biological trickling filters without chemical pre-oxidation are generally applied to treat anaerobic groundwater, containing methane, iron, ammonium and manganese. Previous research showed that all compounds can be removed in one filter step and that not only the ammonia oxidation (by nitrification), but also the iron oxidation is often a biological process, despite oxygen ...

Subsurface iron and arsenic removal: low-cost technology for community-based water supply in Bangladesh
The principle of subsurface or in situ iron and arsenic removal is that aerated water is periodically injected into an anoxic aquifer through a tube well, displacing groundwater containing Fe(II). An oxidation zone is created around the tube well where Fe(II) is oxidised. The freshly formed iron hydroxide surfaces provide new sorption sites for soluble Fe(II) and arsenic. The system's efficiency ...

Project profile - troyer water system – Middlefield, Ohio arsenic, iron & manganese removal
Background In early 2008, AdEdge was selected by EcoWater Servisoft in Burton, Ohio to design, build, and startup an integrated treatment system to remove arsenic, iron, and manganese levels at the Troyer Water System in Middlefield to below the primary and secondary MCLs of 0.010 mg/L, 0.3 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L respectively. AdEdge first piloted a treatment system in spring of 2007 to satisfy OEPA ...

Project profile - Lincoln Akerman School Hampton Falls, New Hampshire AD26 arsenic/iron treatment system
Background AdEdge Technologies Inc. (AdEdge) was selected in 2006 by the Hampton Falls School District to design and fabricate a full-scale AD26 arsenic and iron treatment system for the Lincoln Akerman School (LAS) in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. LAS has about 260 students in grades ranging from K through 8 and the system has an average daily flow of 2,000 gallons. The treatment system is ...

Study: Coal-Fired Power Plants Are Polluting Groundwater
Environmental groups are pushing for tighter regulation and enforcement of EPA rules A new study shows that of the 265 coal-burning power plants it studied in the United States, 241 have dangerous levels of toxic metals in the groundwater around them, based on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. The figure, which comes to 91% of the plants, was derived only from plants that must ...
