Activated Carbon Filter

Activated Carbon Filter

Activated Carbon Filter is used for water and WasteWater purification for different application like removal of color, BOD, smell, odor, turbidity. 

Activated Carbon Filter consists of a pressure vessel-this could be either vertical or horizontal-fitted with a set of frontal pipe work and valves, Activated Carbon supported by layers of graded under bed consisting of pebbles and gravels, a top distributor to distribute the incoming water uniformly throughout the cross section of the Activated Carbon filter, and an under drain system to collect filtered water.

Activated carbon (AC) is a natural material derived from bituminous coal, lignite, wood, coconut shell etc., activated by steam and other means, and each one have different adsorption properties (e.g. bituminous carbon for high chlorine reduction capacity). We also use various blends of carbon to achieve specific water quality and contaminants reduction (e.g. coconut shell carbon for "sweet taste").
