I am a Jeans producer from asia and now I am going to make a new washing plant.
I had tested the water and found that Iron is 10 ppm there and also too much Sault.
(If you advice I can write on my next post all details about the report.

Now my technicians are saying need to establish a WTP (water treatment plant) plant to treatment the water since this water can't be used directly for textile washing.

According to that I had asked some company who made WTP plant ,now among of them some one saying only removing Iron will be ok for washing, some one saying must establish RO plant ,some one saying no need remove cl .different opinion and I am confused.

I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask this types of question or not
if I am in a proper place I will provide more data about my problem.

I expect a early help from all of you.

Dear Friend,

For washing purpose you need soft water which should not contain any hardness. If iron is more in your source water you must first remve it before going for further treatment.. One way to remove iron of this much (10 ppm) is to oxidise using hyphochlorite followed by aeration and remove it by filteration.
If you use directly RO,the membranes are not tolerant of iron content of more than 0.1ppm. Based on water quality and quantity requirement you can size your RO Plant.

S.Chittibabu.

I guess you thought this forum to be an 'hotline' type forum where guys are just waiting to reply to your queries sad.gif . Anyway this clearly explains your urgency.

For 10 ppm Iron content in the inlet water, I think, sand filtation with intermittent back washing would suffice.

For RO, you first need to check the water quality i.e. typical water analysis for hardness, before considering RO as indicated by S. Chittibabu.
