Activated Carbon Cartridge

These Cartridges act by means of a physicochemical property of the active carbon (adsorption) and in some cases associated with the filtration action of various filtering materials. AQUA uses various active granulated carbon, suggesting the most appropriate types according to the conditions and diverse needs of filtering required. Our active granulated carbon extracted from vegetable coco fruit has characteristics that are very suitable for treating water in general. These active carbon cartridges have the following specifications :
Grain Hardness
• Insignificant presence of Carbon Powder Residuals. Very high surface filtration area (up to 1500m2/g)
• High Adsorption;
• Longer life.
Very high retention capacity
• Insignificant presence of ash, less impurity.
The general characteristics in understanding what makes a very efficient carbon cartridge are the following:
- Pre-Filtration
Treatment of water beforehand, through a pre-filtration action which permits a first treatment of the water itself allowing a longer life to the cartridge;
- Absorption performance of the carbon It is determined by the quality and quantity of carbon used. Also the contact time has a very important impact on the final result. In fact the longer the water remains in contact with the carbon (flow rate) the stronger the carbon adsorption effect will be, thus purifying the water;
- Post-Filtration Treatment of water after hand, through a post-filtration action which permits a further treatment of the water itself and eliminating any suspended carbon residuals. Having all three the above elements will no doubt reduce the flow rate. This means a better performance of the process because it optimises the active carbon action. Active carbon will in the end saturate and the life time depends on how the cartridge is being used.
