Activated carbon filter vessels work by adsorption, where contaminants in water or gas streams are trapped on the surface of granular or powdered activated carbon (GAC/PAC).
•
Chlorine, chloramines, and residual oxidants
•
Odors and taste compounds
•
Organic compounds, color bodies, and phenols
•
VOCs and industrial pollutants
✓
Vertical or horizontal cylindrical pressure vessel
✓
Top distributor and under-drain system for uniform flow
✓
Granular or powdered activated carbon bed
✓
Inlet and outlet nozzles for process connection
✓
Air release and drainage systems
✓
Manways for inspection, loading, and unloading
These vessels ensure high adsorption efficiency, minimal channeling, and extended carbon life, critical for continuous operation.
