Are H2o2 contact tanks necessary??
Good day.....I am in the final stages of prep before installing the equipment absolutely required for my residential well water H2o2 injection system. I have spoken to several (4) local "water professionals" here in Florida and a couple (2) from out of state regarding H202 injection systems for my requirement. I have been getting conflicting information concerning the "necessary equipment" absolutely needed for a properly functioning system.
My purpose for H2o2 use, remove 1.8ppm iron and live iron bacteria.... I currently have and will continue to use my softener for the 11gpg of hardness. The conflicting issue? The use of retention tanks for contact time.
Option #1 35% solution and no contact tank needed due to strength of solution.
Option #2 7% solution and a contact tank is mandatory due to strength of solution.
Four (4) of the Six (6) contacts recommended Option #1 [I]unequivocally[/I] , One (1) of the Four (4) mentioned an inline static mixer is used sometimes, but very rarely.
The remaining Two (2) contacts "pushed' Option #2 using safety and more control as a primary concern.
In a previous life I spent many years working around caustic chemicals and I am keenly aware of the precautions needed in handling 35% H2o2. From the limited information available, both options will work... The Stenner pump, PCM, and 1 ppg water meter as well as a GAC backwash filter are in hand and ready...
Can anyone here put this to rest? Retention tank or not????????
Appreciate your opinions !!!! Facts are even better....
