Sewage Treatment using Activated Carbon Filters in the Tertiary Stage
The process of filtering wastewater with activated carbon basically adsorbs undesired pollutants. Activated carbon is first exposed to oxygen. This aids in the opening of millions of small pores by the charcoal.
When it comes to absorbing toxins from wastewater, activated carbon is extremely effective.
Activated carbon is used in the filtration process to eliminate residual pollutants from sewage discharge. Chlorine, methane, organic molecules, and even the taste and odour of wastewater are all absorbed by carbon.
1: Chlorine is eliminated from wastewater using an activated carbon filter. Because of its huge surface area, it is very good in absorbing pollutants from wastewater. The chlorine elimination process fills the carbon's large pores. Impurities are therefore eliminated.As the capacity of activated carbon degrades, it must be replaced. This method has a minimal operational cost.
2: Organic molecules are also absorbed by carbon in the activated carbon filter process. The capacity of this process is determined by the physical qualities of the activated carbon surface area, the amount of hydrogen and oxygen present, the impurity concentration level, the treatment period, and, of course, the pH level of the water used.
3: Other waste treatment processes can benefit from the use of activated carbon filters as a pre-treatment. Ion exchange resins and the reverse osmosis process are examples of these. With this combination of activated carbon and ozonation, micropollutants can be easily eliminated. Additionally, it extends the life of activated carbon filters.
What are the Benefits of using Activated Carbon Filter in STP?
1: The ability to absorb pollutants is as high as 90%.
2: This filtration method is simple to use.
3: Low-maintenance and simple to set up.
4: Removes chlorine, organics, foul taste, and odour effectively.
5: Economical – lower installation costs.
6: Filter replacement is the only cost of operation.
7: Dependable and effective.
8: Can be employed either at the point of input (semi-centralized drinking water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants) or at the point of usage (household/community filters).
9: It's best to get rid of big organic compounds.
Other Applications of Activated Carbon Filters
Activated carbon filters can be utilized in a variety of wastewater treatment applications, including:
1. Processing of Water
To treat incoming water from the municipality, many industrial facilities have their own water treatment facility. This is utilized by industrial units that have a specified water requirement for their processes. This method is used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, drinks, and other goods. They require high-quality, contaminant-free water to prevent harm to their equipment while still creating a high-quality output.
The acti?vated carbon filter is utilized in every step of the water treatment process. To achieve the necessary component consistency in water, it can be used alone or in combination with other water treatments.
2. Filtering on-site
Small-scale operations can also use the activated carbon filter. To purify water, in-house utilities such as a refrigerator employ a carbon filter on the faucets.
3. Filtration in a pool or aquarium
Filtration in a pool or aquarium is critical for the water's organisms. The activated carbon filter system can clean these units of contaminants, making them safe for both residents and swimmers.
