Activated carbon filter (ACF) uses carbon as a filter media. This arrangement produces a filter bed with efficient removal of colour, odour, free chlorine in raw water. & oil, COD etc. in some cases. Specific flow rates of 10 – 24 m3/h has been successfully obtained for treating waters post multi grade filter. ACF designed using ASME Sec VIII,Div-I and design follows IEI good engineering practices. MOC is MS, MSRL,SS316. Frontal pipe work is available in PVC, MS, MSRL,SS 316.

• Higher specific velocity
• Raw water can be used for backwashing the filter

Activated carbon filter protects other water treatment units such as reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange resins from possible damage which is due to oxidation or organic fouling.
