Active Carbon Systems


Our carbon systems that feature multifunctional filter used in desorbing many polluting substances in water remains as one of the most efficient solutions in removing undesired taste, smell, and color, asbestos, pesticides, heavy metals, etc. Activated carbon minerals, grift structure due to very large surface area (1000 to 1500 m2/g). The large surface area of activated carbon improves water contact with the surface to be treated, the treatment provides high yielding.

Granular activated carbon (GAC) is commonly used for removing organic constituents and residual disinfectants in water supplies. This not only improves taste and minimizes health hazards; it protects other water treatment units such as reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange resins from possible damage due to oxidation or organic fouling. Activated carbon is a favored water treatment technique because of its multi-functional nature and the fact that it adds nothing detrimental to the treated water.
Aquachem Active Carbon Filters operate fully automatically without human intervention. The Active Carbon Filter performs automatic back-washing process for 15-20 minutes a day to renew itself in this way.
