OVERVIEW

Activated Carbon Filter is used to adsorb chlorine, organics, tri-halo-methane (THM), taste, odour, and colour from Water & Wastewater. Activated carbon is a charcoal that has been treated with oxygen to open up millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms. The activated carbon has a massive surface area (2000 – 3000 square metres per gram of activated carbon) making it highly effective at adsorbing impurities from water. We, at Rushi Ion Exchange, offer Series of filters at a low cost, reliable and highly efficient way to purify your water.

Our unique design of Activated Carbon Filter ensures the maximum utilization of the activated carbon surface area with effective contact time and actual removal of the impurities. Our ACFs are available in diameters from 0.225 Mts. to 4.0 Mts. (vertically) and in length from 3.0 Mts. mm to 11 Mts. (Horizontally) with flow rates up to 400M3/Hr. These rugged, pre-engineered, pre-assembled units minimize installation and start-up costs. Whether you require chlorine-free water for RO feed, or colour & odour free wastewater, We can full fill applications requirement.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

Activated carbon filtration is an adsorptive process in which the contaminant is attracted to and adsorbed onto the surface of the carbon particles. The efficiency of the adsorption process is influenced by carbon characteristics (particle and pore size, surface area, density and hardness) and the contaminant characteristics.
