Activated Carbon Filters (ACF)
The activated carbon filters are designed to remove free chlorine, organic matter, odour and Colour present in the raw water and waste water.
Due to its high degree of microporosity, activated carbon provides a huge surface area.
Activated carbon filter operates through adsorption.
Adsorption is directly related to the surface area of the media.
This great surface area furnishes a huge adsorption area for organic as well as chlorine molecules to attach themselves.
The activated carbon filters consist of activated carbon granules supported by very fine quartz filter media.
Various grades of carbon are available for specialized treatments.
Activated carbon filter for water treatment is the most frequently used, robust method to remove suspended solids from water.
The filter consists of a multiple layer of sand/filter media with a variety in size and specific gravity.
The filters are designed to remove turbidity and suspended particles present in the feed water with minimum pressure drop.
Applications
- Removal of chlorine, colour, odour, and organic contaminants from raw water and wastewater.
- Pretreatment for RO, UF, and other membrane systems to protect membranes from chlorine damage.
- Industrial water purification in food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and power plants.
- Wastewater polishing for COD reduction and removal of trace organics.
- Drinking water treatment to improve taste, clarity, and safety.
- Effluent treatment plants (ETP/STP) for final quality enhancement.
- Groundwater and surface water treatment to remove pesticides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
