Activated Carbon Filter

Activated Carbon Filters for Clean, Odor-Free Water

Activated Carbon Filters represent a fundamental component in modern purification systems, utilising highly porous activated carbon media to capture contaminants effectively. These filters operate through adsorption, where pollutants adhere to the vast surface area of the carbon that often exceeds 1000 square meters per gram. Granular activated carbon (GAC) or powdered variants form the core media and are kept in sturdy cartridges designed for optimal flow rates, typically ranging from 1 to 100 gallons per minute, depending on system scale..

Activated carbon filtration involves treating carbonaceous materials like coconut shells or coal via steam activation at high temperatures, creating micro-pores that target organic compounds and chlorine.

Carbon block filters, a popular type, offer superior density with micron ratings as low as 0.5, ensuring precise removal of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and odors through physical and chemical bonding. Operational aspects display regeneration cycles, where saturated carbon undergoes thermal reactivation to restore capacity, promoting sustainability in industrial carbon filter systems.

The product overview highlights pressure drops of under 5 psi, pH compatibility from 6.5 to 8.5 and a service life of up to 12 months, depending on influent quality. Water purification activated carbon filters are fully compatible with pre-treatment stages, using extruded carbon for progressive performance in heavy duty installations.
