Activated Carbon Filter

Activated Carbon Filter – Industrial & Commercial

Active carbon comes in two variations: Powder Activated Carbon (PAC) and Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). The GAC version is mostly used in water treatment; it can absorb the following soluble substances:

  • Adsorption of organic, non-polar substances such as:
    • Mineral oil
    • BTEX
    • Poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PACs)
    • (Chloride) phenol
  • Adsorption of halogenated substance: I, Br, Cl, H en F
  • Odor
  • Taste
  • Yeasts
  • Various fermentation products

Non-polar substances (Substances which are non soluble in water)

Applications for Activated Carbon filtration:

  • Ground water purification
  • The de-chlorination of process water
  • Water purification for swimming pools
  • The polishing of treated effluent

Depending on the type of water, suspended solids concentration, oil and grease, COD, BOD and pesticides contents, activated carbon filters are sized differently, but the basic design data to clarify natural waters is the following:

Filtration velocity 2-8 m3/h.m2
Contact time 10 -30 minutes
Diameter 50 cm to 3m
Filtration area 0,2 to 7 m2
Flow rates 10L/h 100 m3/h
