Subsurface Iron Removal. Field tests at Pumping Station Corle

The “speerpuntonderzoek” project named “Removal of iron and manganese in the drinking water chain: from estimation to control (“Ontijzering en ontmanganing in de drinkwaterketen: van schatten naar sturen”) aims for a better understanding and prediction, as well as a more efficient operation, of the aboveground and underground removal of iron and manganese. Within this project the efficiency and operational controls of Subsurface Iron Removal (SIR) were Investigated for drinking water company Vitens using both modeling and field tests. This research was conducted at pumping station Corle and is described in this report.
