Activated Carbon Filters

Activated Carbon Filters About

• Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): Loose carbon granules packed inside a fiberglass or stainless steel pressure vessel. It is the industry standard for bulk water treatment because it handles high flow rates with a low pressure drop.
• Carbon Block: Powdered carbon compressed with a binding agent into a solid cylindrical cartridge. It forces water through microscopic pathways, combining chemical adsorption with sub-micron particle filtration.
• Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC): Fine carbon powder added directly to bulk raw water in municipal treatment facilities to handle sudden odor or chemical spills before being settled out.

• Iodine Number: Measures the porosity and surface area of the carbon. High-purity filters use carbon with an iodine number between 900 to 1,200+ mg/g for maximum chemical trapping.
• Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT): The duration the water stays in contact with the media bed. Chlorine removal requires an EBCT of 3 to 5 minutes, while removing pesticides or heavy organic volatile compounds (VOCs) requires 10 to 15+ minutes.
• Base Materials: Constructed from coconut shells (best for micro-pores and volatile chemicals), bituminous coal (best for mid-to-large color molecules), or wood (best for bulk organic wastewater remediation).

• Chlorine & Chloramine Removal: Strips out municipal disinfectants that ruin the taste of drinking water and damage downline Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes.
• Organic Compound Removal: Traps pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Taste and Odor Elimination: Eradicates swampy, metallic, or chemical smells caused by decaying organic matter or algae blooms.

• Oil Vapor Removal: Installed directly downstream of compressed air coalescing filters to strip out vaporized compressor hydrocarbons down to 0.003 mg/m.
• Odour & Toxic Gas Scrubbing: Captures volatile solvent gases, hydrogen sulfide, and hazardous emissions in chemical factories and exhaust vents.

Versatile Application Range

These activated carbon filters are suitable for a spectrum of applications, including water treatment, compressed air purification, food and beverage production, and HVAC air scrubbing. Their comprehensive cable and conductor support ensures compatibility with both display sensors and critical safety systems, making them ideal for industries where reliability and monitoring are essential.


Advanced Monitoring & Control

Monitor filtration operation in real time using a selection of display options-including digital LED/LCD controllers, mechanical and analog dials, visual pop-up clogging indicators, and IoT-enabled smart modules. This adaptability helps streamline maintenance processes and provides timely alerts to reduce potential downtime.
