System Design:
The system design for activated carbon filtration depends on several factors such as tank capacity, packing setting, and operating conditions. It is important to select the right type of carbon and design the system properly to achieve optimal performance.
Tank Capacity Design
The tank capacity design depends on the flow rate and the amount of carbon required for the application. Typically, the flow rate is measured in cubic meters per hour (m 3 /h) or liters per hour (L/h), and the carbon dosage is measured in kilograms (kg) or tonnes (t).
Packing Setting
The packing setting refers to the arrangement of carbon and other filtration media inside the filtration tank. The most common packing setting for activated carbon filtration is to place a layer of quartz sand at the bottom of the tank and a layer of activated carbon on top of it. The thickness of each layer may vary depending on the application.
- Bottom Layer: 20cm~30cm of quartz sand
- Upper Layer: 80cm of activated carbon
Other Operating Conditions
The filtration rate, particle size, and other operating conditions also play a role in the system design. The filtration rate should be between 10~15m/h, and the particle size of the carbon may range from 1~2mm, 2~4mm, etc. These parameters may vary depending on the specific application requirements.
- Bulk Density: 0.45~0.55mg/ml (generally 0.5mg/ml)
- Filtration Rate: 10~15m/h
- Particle Size: 1~2mm, 2~4mm, etc.
Applications:
Industrial Glucose Decolorization
Industrial glucose is a common sweetener used in many different food and beverage products. However, the manufacturing process can often leave behind impurities and unwanted coloration. To address this issue, industries have implemented decolorization processes to extract pure glucose. These treatments use a variety of methods to remove impurities and achieve a more refined end product.
Water Treatment in Chemical, Food and Beverage, and Medical Industries
In the chemical industry, wastewater treatment processes are essential to remove pollutants and organic solvents. This is crucial in maintaining a healthy ecosystem and ensuring the safety of employees and surrounding communities. Similarly, in the food and beverage industry, water treatment methods are necessary to guarantee the safety and hygiene of production water. Processes that remove harmful substances and odors are commonly utilized.
In the medical industry, water quality is of the utmost importance. To ensure patient safety, high-quality water sources must be provided. Medical water must also be hygienic and free of impurities to prevent the spread of disease and infection.
Ultrapure Water Treatment for the Electronics Industry
The electronics industry demands the use of ultrapure water that must be completely free of pollutants. Any impurities could adversely affect the manufacturing process, resulting in defects and failures. To meet this requirement, various ultrapure water treatment methods are utilized to ensure that the production water is free from harmful substances that could negatively impact the quality of the end product.
Improving Municipal Water Quality for Safe Domestic Use
Municipal water supplies must be safe for domestic use, and this means managing and controlling a number of factors to guarantee water quality. Providing safe water means enhancing the treatment processes to ensure that all water that reaches residents is pure, clean, and healthy. Municipalities must ensure that the water supply is free of harmful pollutants and impurities and promote regular testing of water sources to maintain safe, healthy, and sustainable water systems.
