Water Filtration Plants

After clarification, water is filtered as a further treatment step to remove any remaining suspended particles and unsettled floc.

Filtration maybe used in the treatment of industrial effluent, process water, municipal wastewater and drinking water. It is also used as a per-treatment step to membrane processes and desalination of seawater.

Activated carbon is a porous form of carbon manufactured from carbonaceous raw materials such as coal, coconut shell, peat, and wood. These products are produced in powder, granular and extruded forms.

Activated carbon is an adsorbent and is utilized in the purification, separation and concentration of liquids and gases; the recovery of precious metals from ores; as a catalyst support; and in a number of other applications.

The granular form of this substance is commonly used for the removal of organic constituents and residual disinfectants from water. This product also protects other water treatment units, such as the reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange resin, from possible damage due to oxidation or organic fouling.

The use of activated carbon as a water treatment technique is favored due to its multifunctional nature and the fact that it adds nothing detrimental to the treated water. It is also ideal for use in the food and beverage industry for decolourising applications.
