Chlorination Systems

Household, commercial or industrial chlorination systems typically consist of a liquid chlorinator pump which injects a chlorine solution directly into a water supply. The chlorinated water is usually fed into retention tanks, some pressurized, some not pressurized, for required contact time with the chlorine.

Chlorine kills bacteria, oxidizes iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide. The precipitate produced from the oxidization of the various constituents such as iron, manganese, etc. is then usually filtered out.

The filtration media generally does a good job of removing the precipitate from the water. However, because of the ineffective method used to clean the media bed (eg. backwashing using traditional dip tubes), the media bed often becomes fouled and subsequently ineffective.

If used in conjunction with Big Iron’s patented IronEater, patented Abrazor and patented Extender units, bed fouling can be eliminated.

A chlorine residual can be left in the water if desired, such as in agricultural operations for dairy cattle, beef, hog, etc. or other operations where chlorine residual is required.

Where the chlorine is removed from the water prior to use, carbon filtration is used. Big Iron’s Multiple Extender (see Inventions-Multiple Extender) does a better job than any other unit on the market. Besides providing a far more efficient filter bed, the life span of the replaceable carbon media is much longer.
