Dewatering for Iron and Manganese Removal
In October 2010, AdEdge Water Technologies LLC was contacted by JVA Inc. to provide an iron and manganese dewatering system for residences in Boulder, Colo.
Raw groundwater contained iron levels between 4.6 and 7.4 mg/L and a manganese level of 4.5 mg/L, well above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) secondary maximum contaminant levels (MCL) of 0.3 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L respectively. Iron and manganese levels need to comply with the EPA MCLs in order to discharge into the sanitary sewer and meet applicable discharge criteria.
