How It Works
This unique activated carbon is made from bituminous coal through a patented process. Its agglomerated structure ensures rapid wetting without floating particles. By concentrating reactants in our advanced pore system, it promotes key chemical reactions efficiently. Enjoy worry-free reactivation, unlike traditional impregnated carbons that present disposal concerns.
Recommended Operational Conditions
- Contact Time: Minimum 3 minutes for optimal results.
- Layer Thickness: 700–800 mm.
-
Filtration Rates:
- Iron Removal: 6–12 m/h
- Hydrogen Sulfide Removal: 24 m/h
- Backwash Expansion: 30–40% of the layer thickness.
