Activated Carbon Filtration
Activated carbon water filtration is a widely used method for purifying water by removing contaminants and impurities. This process leverages the large surface area and porous nature of activated carbon to adsorb harmful substances, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and unpleasant tastes and odors.
Benefits
- Improves Water Quality: Removes unwanted tastes and odors, enhancing overall water quality.
- Effective Contaminant Removal: Eliminates chlorine, VOCs, and other harmful impurities.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment.
- Cost-Effective: Provides a low-cost solution for water purification without extensive infrastructure or complex processes.

Key Features
Activated carbon filters are essential in residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment applications, providing an effective, cost-efficient solution to ensure the delivery of clean, safe, and palatable water. Through high-capacity media and periodic backwashing, these systems maintain their efficiency and longevity, making them a reliable choice for various water purification needs.
1. Adsorption:
Activated carbon filtration works through adsorption, where contaminants in the water adhere to the surface of the activated carbon particles. The extensive surface area, characterized by numerous pores and crevices, makes activated carbon highly effective.
2. High-Capacity Media:
Filtration is achieved using high-capacity granulated activated carbon, which rests on a gravel sub-fill. This setup allows for efficient adsorption of contaminants.
3. Backwashing:
Periodically, the activated carbon is backwashed to remove accumulated suspended solids. This process reverses the flow of water through the filter to clean the carbon bed, ensuring its longevity and effectiveness.
