Tecnocom - Active Carbon Filters
Carbon filtering is an absorption treatment whose purpose is to remove from water oxidants, organic substances, surfactants, etc.
The absorption process is carried out in a pressurized column and brings the active carbon to a slow saturation; when saturated, the carbon must be replaced. During absorption, the carbon may be clogged by suspended solids: in that case the equipment performs a cleaning operation, automatically inverting the water flow in the column, to restore the original work conditions. The output water is sent to discharge. Once cleaning is over, the filter positions again on the work cycle. The amount of water produced by the carbon before its exhaustion depends on several factors such as: quantity and type of substances to be detained, diameter of the carbon filter and granulometry of the carbon..
