Arsenic Removal System
The Arsenic Removal System is designed to eliminate harmful arsenic contaminants from drinking water, ensuring it is safe for human consumption. Arsenic, a naturally occurring toxic element, can seep into groundwater and pose serious health risks such as cancer, skin lesions, and developmental effects. This system typically uses adsorption, ion exchange, or membrane filtration techniques to remove arsenic effectively. It plays a vital role in providing clean, potable water, especially in areas where arsenic contamination is common, thus protecting communities from long-term health hazards.
Arsenic Removal Treatment Process
- Pre-filtration: Raw water is passed through a sediment filter to remove suspended particles and protect downstream components.
- Oxidation: Arsenic (III) is converted into Arsenic (V) using an oxidizing agent like chlorine or potassium permanganate, which is easier to remove.
- Adsorption: Water passes through a media bed (e.g., iron oxide or activated alumina) that binds and removes arsenic from the water.
- Ion Exchange (optional): Additional polishing step using ion exchange resins to remove remaining traces of arsenic.
- Filtration: Final filtration ensures removal of any residual particles or media fines.
- Monitoring: Water quality is tested to ensure arsenic levels meet safe drinking standards.
