China Industrial Activated Carbon Filter System - Suppliers & Factory for Water Treatment Solutions

An activated carbon filter is an essential device for water treatment widely used by China suppliers and manufacturers. Serving as a crucial pre-treatment component in water desalination systems, it effectively adsorbs residual chlorine that remains after pre-filtration, thus safeguarding the longevity of downstream equipment. This results in improved water quality and prevents contamination, which is vital for protecting reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange resins from chlorine-induced damage. Additionally, the filter excels at adsorbing contaminants like small molecular organic compounds that might drift from upstream processes. It significantly reduces odors, colloids, pigments, and heavy metal ions while also lowering COD levels. Furthermore, our activated carbon filter plays a key role in minimizing the SDI value of RO inlet water, ensuring it stays below 5, and keeps TOC levels under 2.0 ppm.

    Equipment description

    The filter material of the activated carbon filter may include activated carbon, quartz sand, and gravel. The primary filter material is typically activated carbon, with quartz sand and gravel serving as cushion layers. Residual chlorine, colloids, and other small particles in water are primarily removed through the adsorption and reduction properties of activated carbon. Larger particles and suspended matter are filtered out via interstitial voids within the media layers.
    The equipment can be designed for either manual or automatic control, with the ability to switch between these modes. The automatic control system monitors and regulates all operational and process control points, enabling unattended and fully automated operation. The system employs a combination of air-water backwashing, with backwash wastewater being discharged. In the system design, concentrated water from the reverse osmosis process is utilized for backwashing, thereby enhancing water utilization efficiency.
    Backwashing of the filter can be initiated automatically based on either the backwashing time interval set by the central control system or the differential pressure setting at the filter inlet and outlet.
    The operational modes of the filter include water production, water backwashing, air backwashing, and forward washing. All operational modes are executed automatically according to pre-set programs.
