Coal-Based Activated Carbon

Coal-Based Activated Carbon is made for efficient, economical treatment in high-volume industrial carbon vessels.

Coal-Based Activated Carbon is used as the media charge in high-volume carbon vessels.

• Industrial Carbon Units
• Factories
• Hotels & Housing Estates
• Well Water Systems
• RO Pre-Treatment
• Coloured Water Problems
• Process Water Treatment
• Renewing a Carbon Bed

1. 1

   Loading the Vessel

   The granular carbon is loaded into the filter vessel in the specified quantity, forming the treatment bed.

2. 2

   Water Passes Through the Bed

   Raw water travels through the carbon bed, in prolonged contact with the porous surface.

3. 3

   Adsorption

   Chlorine, colouring matter, odour compounds and organic molecules are captured in the carbon’s pores.

4. 4

   Backwash

   In automatic carbon units the bed is backwashed periodically and the accumulated coarse contamination flushed to drain.

5. 5

   Renewal at Saturation

   Once the carbon has used up its adsorption capacity, backwashing is not enough; the bed is replaced with fresh carbon.

When choosing Coal-Based Activated Carbon, the type of contamination, the vessel volume and the application must be assessed correctly.

• After loading fresh carbon the vessel should be backwashed thoroughly, as fine carbon dust can carry over into the water.
• Once the adsorption capacity is used up, backwashing is not enough; the bed must be replaced with fresh carbon.
• In systems left unused for a long period the carbon bed should be checked and washed if necessary.
• Sacks of carbon should be stored dry and sealed; damp and dirt reduce their capacity.
