CSIR-CMERI OxiMax Improved Iron Removal Plant
Commonly found in groundwater, a high concentration of iron in water can cause health hazards and lead to the short shelf-life of household appliances due to the build-up of iron deposits and rust. If used for laundry, it can cause stains on clothes. Additionally, excess iron in water can change the taste of food & beverages and lead to other issues such as blockage of pipe, leakage, amongst others.
