Lead, Aluminium and Pesticide Removal
Hi Giancarlo,
Firstly, the heavy metal contaminants are likely to be soluble therefore will not filter out with the exception of RO use.
Test the water quality for corrosion/leaching of heavy metals using the Langelier Index calculation (use search engine) may required re-mineralisation with lime/CO2 if corrosive/aggressive water quality based on Langelier calculation..
Reduce the Alum use by dose optimisation using Jar Testing
Use activated carbon filtration to adsorb organics (pesticides/herbicides) checking filter inlet and outlet regularly for spent carbon/filter breakthrough.
Good luck with the project and please contact me privately if further information is required.
