Activated carbon filtration system

for waterautomatic

Filtration systems Multimedia filters General introduction This unit contains a special layered filter media, which removes the non-dissolved contaminations (described by the parameter known as TSS – total suspended solids) from the water efficiently. The filter layers are selected according to the particle size of the contamination, and will be placed in a pressure vessel. The contaminations filtered by the media can be removed periodically by intense countercurrent flow. To improve the efficiency of filtering, peat or hydro-anthracite media can be used. Advantages • automatic operation, • long lifetime, • wide performance range, • excellent filtering performance. Fields of application • potable water treatment, • to fulfill the demands of industrial filtered water, • water supply for hotels, hospitals, settlements, • used as preatreatment unit before other filtration systems - protection of water treatment devices. Activated Carbon Filters General Introduction The active carbon filters of the unit removes the non-desired contaminations such as free active chlorine, odor and taste deteriorating materials and noxious haloform chemicals, AOX and THM compounds with adsorption from the untreated water. Beside of that the media filter decreases the organic content of the water and the possible fine contaminations. By periodical intense countercurrent flow, the deposited contaminations can be eliminated from the filter and the filter media will be loosened. If the adsorption ability runs out, the media needs to be replaced.
