Filter Vessel: The filter vessel is a cylindrical or rectangular tank that contains the activate carbon media. Design to withstand the operating pressure of the system. Vessel is usually made of steel or reinforce concrete and is equippe with inlet and outlet connections.
Activated Carbon Media: Activate carbon is a highly porous material with a large surface area that provides adsorption capacity. Derive from various sources such as coconut shells, wood, or coal, and is process to activate its adsorption properties. The activate carbon media is usually in granular or powder form and is place in the filter vessel.
Distribution System: Distribution system ensures even distribution of the influent wastewater across the activate carbon. Typically consists of underdrains, lateral pipes, and nozzles that distribute the water uniformly over the surface of the carbon media.
Backwash System: Backwash system is incorporated into the activate carbon filter to periodically clean the carbon media and remove accumulate solids. Includes a backwash pump, valves, and a wash water collection system. The backwashing process involves reversing the water flow or using air or water mixtures to agitate the carbon bed and remove trapp particles.
Control System: Control system monitors and regulates the operation of the activate carbon filter. It controls flow rates, backwashing cycles, and other parameters to optimize the filtration process and ensure efficient operation
