Activated Carbon Filters

🔧 General Description

AQUALAT carbon adsorption filters are designed for deep purification of water from organic contaminants, chlorine, petroleum products, and other dissolved substances.

The filtration process is based on adsorption — the ability of activated carbon to retain impurities within its highly porous structure.

AQUALAT filters are used as a polishing stage in water treatment systems to improve water quality, including removal of odor, taste, and color.

⚙️ Principle of Operation

Water passes through a filtration layer of activated carbon, where contaminants are adsorbed on the surface and within the microporous structure of the sorbent.

AQUALAT filters effectively remove:

• organic compounds
• residual chlorine and chlorinated compounds
• oils and petroleum products
• odor and taste-causing substances

Periodic backwashing is used to remove accumulated suspended solids and maintain stable operation.

🏗 Design and Construction

AQUALAT carbon filters are designed as vertical pressure vessels and include:

• cylindrical steel housing
• upper and lower distribution systems
• drainage system
• piping and shut-off valves
• sampling devices

The filter media consists of high-quality activated carbon selected according to process requirements.
