What is DEFERUM?
This hydro-automatic system DEFERUM with floating filtering media is designed for the nonreagent removal of high levels of dissolved: Iron (up to 75mg/l), Dissolved gasses oHydrogen sulphide oCarbon dioxide oMethane oRadon oOdour oEtc Deferum also provides partial removal of manganese. However, the targeted manganese removal can be provided by the special system a modification of DEMAGNUM The process can be classified as intensive aeration/degasification followed by filtration system which uses unique AKV aerator/degasifier and Polymer Floating Filtering Media.

PROCESS

Gradual fouling of the bed increases its resistance, raising the water level in an adjacent 'hydro-robot' until it reaches the top of a siphon. This draws water out of the filtration chamber at such a speed that flow through the filter bed reverses, and the filter bed is backwashed. There are no sensors, electronic controls, floats or other moving parts to worry about i.e The hydrorobot and the filter media (4) are the connected vessels (communicating vessels), therefore with by increase in resistance of media-4 (from pollution) water level increase an in the hydrorobot and in its siphon, till water overflow through a siphon and level increases of water in the hydrolock (8), therefore siphon of hydrorobot is closed from sucking of air to a siphon (i.e to aerodegasifier). In a siphon will the vacuum (because of aerodegasifier work). Water in a siphon do falling downwards and backwashing of the filter media (4) begins, i.e as fouling of the filter increases, the water level in the hydro-robot rises, causing the filter to switch into backwash mode. Purified water from the above-filter section drops down and expands the filtering bed (4), washing out the accumulated impurities. When the water level in the above-filter section drops down to a pre-set point (pre-set during commissioning), the hydro-robot stops the backwash and switches the filter into a new filtration cycle, after removal of water from the hydrolock (8), through a small siphon (9).

First Treatment Stage - Aeration Feed water is pumped from the borehole and supplied at 4.0 bar to the aerator-degasifier (1) where dissolved gasses are removed from water and atmospheric air oxidizes bivalent iron and partially ions of manganese. On each hydrorobot (2) is available two aerodegasifiers (1). Aerodegasifiers work as ejectors. The first aerodegasifier (1) has trumpet connection with a hydrorobot siphon (2), therefore atmospheric air is sucked in (induced air) to the first aerodegasifier (1) through a siphon of the hydrorobot (2). The second aerodegasifier (1) sucks atmospheric air through a siphon of the hydrorobot (7), through a trumpet connection with a hydrorobot siphon (7) too. Second Treatment Stage DEFERUM Filtration Further, feed water flows down the hydro-robot (2) and through the distribution system (3) arrives into the hydro-automatic filter with floating filtering media (4), where impurity particles are arrested throughout the depth of the filtering bed (4). The mesh of the holder (5) keeps the floating media within the filter tanks (4). Third Treatment Stage DEMAGNUM Filtration After filtration, treated water gravity-flows into a filtrate collector via the discharge pipe/reactor (6) to the hydrorobot (7), hence through the distributor (3) go for next filtration in the floating media (4), which keep by the holder (5). The filtrate flows to the tank of pure water, through a pipe-11 and then a delivery pump forwards purified water to consumption.

Fourth Treatment Stage - Dosing For increase in an pH of artesian water, till 6.8 to 7.8 the technological decision can be applied: From the tank (19) with solution of the lime, by the instrumentality of the batcher (17) do dosing to pipeline of raw water. For disinfecting a filtrate, also for oxidation of ions of manganese 8 the technological decision can be applied: From the tank (20) with solution of oxidant, by the instrumentality of the batcher (18) do dosing to a Pipe/Reactor (6). Backwash water go from the settler to the pump (14), next through the filter-press (15) to the hydrorobot (2). The press cake goes to the pallet (16) and then takes to a city dump. Fifth Treatment Stage Clear Water A delivery pump forwards purified water to consumption after filtration from DEMAGNUM.

Advantages of DEFERUM
Eco friendly Green Technology Stand-alone backwashing filters Operated without sophisticated electronics Does not need spare parts or replacement of the filtering media during working life cycle Replaces the conventional aeration, flocculation and sedimentation process with aerodegasifers System operation self-adapts to changing contaminant loadings Small amount of water for backwash No electricity consumed in the process Filtering media has a life span of over 15 years Backwash is based entirely on gravity force and difference of water levels Combined continuous removal of iron, dissolved gasses, suspended solids and turbidity

EQUIPMENTS AND FUNCTIONS

To allow automatic backwash To keep Aerator-Degasifier and distribution pipes in position Hold raw water before entering filter tanks

To oxidize dissolved solids Remove hazardous gases Create vacuum with high velocity flow Take in atmospheric air for oxidation

Filter ferum and manganese from raw water

To hold filter media from escaping Allow filtrate to flow through away from tanks and media

To distribute raw water evenly though out the filter tank 8
