Additional Information
Description
Activated Carbon Filter (ACF) are generally employed in the process of removing organic compounds and/or extracting free chlorine from water, thereby making the water suitable for discharge or use in manufacturing processes. Eliminating organics in potable water, such as humic and fulvic acid, prevents chlorine in the water from chemically reacting with the acids and forming trihalomethanes, a class of known carcinogens.
Features
- Higher specific velocity.
- Raw water can be used for backwashing the filter.
Additional Information
Applications
Activated carbon filter protects other water treatment units such as reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange resins from possible damage which is due to oxidation or organic fouling.
