    JG Series Activated carbon Filter

    Product Review:

    An activated carbon filter is the unit filtering water through an activated carbon layer. The carbon layer is composed of activated carbon particles with numerous micropores and a broad surface to deliver powerful adsorption capacity.

    When water passes through the activated carbon layer, organic pollutants are effectively adsorbed on its surface. In addition, the non-crystalline part of activated carbon contains oxygen-containing functional groups, which also contribute to effective adsorption of organic impurities in water.  The activated carbon filter can effectively remove low molecular weight organic matter, free oxygen, odors and heavy metal ions.

    Application Sphere:

    The activated carbon filter can remove a wide range of impurities, remove odors generated by phenols and petroleum products, reduce color and turbidity caused by iron, manganese, humic acids or organic pollutants.  It also partially removes COD, BOD, chlorides and aromatic compounds (such as benzene, phenol), as well as heavy metal ions, residual chlorine, synthetic detergents, etc. This filter allows to improve water quality, increase reliable and stable operation of the equipment. Activated carbon filter is suitable for water deodorization and discoloration in municipal water supply systems, water treatment in beverage and food industries, deep treatment of purified water systems, domestic wastewater treatment, treatment of heavy metal ions in industrial wastewater, as well as for treatment of geothermal, well, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, ion-exchange water and other raw water pre-treatment systems.

    Product Advantages

    The filtration column design ensures optimal filtration speed for maximum contact time with the sorbent. Highly precise distribution systems prevent coal dust from being carried into the pipeline. Technological solutions for selecting the right carbon grade for specific impurities guarantee the elimination of specific odors and toxic compounds.

    FAQ

    What role does activated carbon play in the final stage of water purification?

    Carbon filtration is a deep post-treatment stage that removes dissolved organic compounds, residual chlorine, unpleasant odors, and tastes. In Uzbekistan, it is often used to treat industrial water from municipal wastewater or artesian wells, ensuring high-quality water for industrial or irrigation purposes.

    How can I tell if the carbon bed's lifespan has been exhausted and requires regeneration?

    Monitoring is performed by the pressure drop across the filter and by chemical analysis of the outlet water. ASMEX PETROCHEM automation monitors the filter's operating time and signals the need for backwashing to loosen the sorbent. Complete carbon replacement is performed every 6-12 months, depending on the load intensity and the composition of the source water.

    Is it possible to automate the filter backwashing process without interrupting the water supply?

    Yes, when using multi-valve control systems or installing a group of parallel filters. While one module is in flush mode, the others continue to operate. This ensures a continuous supply of purified water to the facility, which is important for uninterrupted technological processes.
