Iron is found in natural and treated water and domestic and industrial water supplies. Higher amounts of iron have undesirable knock-on effects, including affecting the taste of beverages and causing stains on laundered clothes and surface areas. Additionally, deposits of insoluble iron can lead to equipment issues perpetuated by corrosion in equipment or problems in drip feed irrigation in agricultural scenarios.
Therefore, a variety of industries find it essential to monitor for iron. Monitoring for and controlling iron levels helps fend off corrosion in industrial processes, protects the taste of drinking water in municipal operations, and assists with quality control in food and beverage production.
Iron contamination in water sources presents several challenges due to its potential impact on human health, water quality, and infrastructure integrity. Here are key concerns associated with elevated levels of iron in water:
Iron in water can stem from various natural and man-made sources, each contributing to its presence in different ways. One primary cause is geological formations rich in iron deposits, where groundwater dissolves iron minerals, seeping into water sources. Agricultural practices, such as the excessive use of fertilizers containing iron, can also introduce this element into water systems. Corrosion of iron pipes in plumbing systems is another significant contributor, particularly in older infrastructure. Additionally, industrial activities, including mining and manufacturing processes, can release iron into waterways through runoff and waste disposal. These combined factors lead to elevated iron levels in water, impacting its taste, odor, and potentially posing health risks while also affecting the aesthetics and functionality of plumbing fixtures and appliances.
KETOS goes beyond heavy metal testing. Monitor for iron alongside an ever-growing list of water testing parameters for a holistic understanding of water quality.
While KETOS excels in heavy metal testing, its capabilities extend further. Monitor iron levels alongside an expanding array of water testing parameters, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of water quality. With KETOS, gain holistic insights for effective water management and safeguarding against potential contaminants across various industries and applications.
