Project Profile: Iron And Manganese Reduction, Village Of Corona, NM

In the fall of 2008, AdEdge was selected by Village of Corona, NM to design, manufacture, and startup a water treatment system for the removal of iron and manganese. The water system that serves approximately 100 connections at Corona was plagued by high iron and manganese in the main water supply with iron from 0.26 – 2.8 mg/L and manganese levels from 0.094 - 0.17 mg/L, each well above the EPA secondary maximum contaminant levels. Usage is approximately 40,000 gallons per day with seasonal fluctuations. The water system was injecting sequestering agents as a means to help reduce the down gradient effects of this high iron and manganese, but needed a better, more permanent solution to address the problem.

AdEdge worked closely with the Village to provide engineering design drawings and submittals to obtain necessary approvals with the New Mexico Environment Department (ED). A key factor in selecting AdEdge’s AD26 packaged oxidation / filtration technology was the small footprint that allowed the system to fit within the existing well building with no major modifications, saving the community thousands of dollars.
