At Peeters, we offer customized de-ironing technologies that improve water quality by effectively reducing excess iron. Our solutions are sustainable and offer companies in a variety of industries the ideal solution to iron problems in water.
What is de-icing?
De-ironing is the process of removing excess iron from water, restoring its clarity and preventing unwanted iron deposits. It provides clean, safe water for both animals and crops while preventing damage to pipes, equipment and systems.
The benefits of de-icing
- Better water quality: lowering iron levels provides cleaner water for both animals and crops, contributing to healthier production.
- Equipment protection: prevents corrosion and scale in pipes and machinery, reducing maintenance costs.
- Efficiency: reduces the frequency of maintenance and extends the life of water-based systems.
- Increased productivity: healthier animals and crops can grow better thanks to clean, iron-poor water.
- Fewer blockages: it prevents blockages caused by iron deposits, optimizing plant performance.
Our de-ironing
Our de-ironing plants are designed for applications where high flow rates are required. The plants operate on the basis of ion exchange where iron, manganese and lime are removed as they pass through the resin cylinder. When the resin cylinder is saturated, it is automatically regenerated with sodium salts (brine).
Our solutions are available in various sizes and configurations. A unique feature of our water treatment plants is that both versions each use only one type of control valve, allowing them to be placed simplex, duplex parallel or even triplex parallel.
How do our de-ironing systems work?
Our de-ironing plants work by ion exchange. Inside the plant is a resin cylinder, these balls of synthetic resin are saturated with sodium ions. When groundwater flows past the resin, the magnesium, calcium, iron and manganese ions are exchanged with sodium ions. Sodium ions are not harmful to humans or animals. So the iron, calcium and manganese are pulled out of the water, resulting in cleaner water.
After a while, the resin cylinder is saturated. When this is the case, it is time for the automatic regeneration process. The first step in the regeneration process is to create brine. The de-icing plant is equipped with a salt reservoir. Water is put into the salt reservoir to create brine water. When there is enough brine water in the plant, the brine water is flushed through the resin cylinder. The brine water is flushed away through the drain. To ensure this, the plant rinses one more time with clean water to remove the last salt residues. After regeneration, the softener is again ready to treat groundwater.
The water solution for your industry
De-ironing is essential for industries where water quality determines performance. In agribusiness, clean water ensures healthier animals and better crops by preventing iron deposits that can affect growth and productivity. In the rental sector, where temporary water installations are commonly used, de-ironing prevents damage to pipes and equipment from iron deposits, which reduces maintenance costs and increases efficiency. Also in water technology, de-ironing protects systems such as water treatment plants and pumping plants from the damaging effects of iron, extending equipment life and preventing breakdowns.
