Activated carbon GAC water filters and Water purification
Activated carbon filters used for home water treatment typically contain either granular activated carbon (GAC) or powdered block carbon. Although both are effective, carbon block filters generally have a higher contaminant removal ratio. The two most important factors affecting the efficiency of activated carbon filtration are the amount of carbon in the unit and the amount of time the contaminant spends in contact with it. The more carbon the better. Similarly, the lower the flow rate of the water, the more time that the contaminants will be in contact with the carbon, and the more absorption that will take place. Particle size also affects removal rates.
Activated carbon filters are usually rated by the size of the particles they are able to remove, measured in microns, and generally range from 50 microns (least effective) down to 0.5 microns (most effective).
Working principle:
For the by-pass filtration, the filter is installed in the main circulating pipeline to filter all the circulating water,
but apart of the circulating water led from the main circulating pipeline is filtered, which is a repeated
circulatininterception step by step to filter the impurities within the system and finally remove the impurities
by thenecessary backwash out of the system. Installing a by-pass filter in the circulating water system can
prevent the terminal pipe of device from sludge blocking and remove the impurities in the system with
chemical dosing.
By-pass filtration is used to reduce the turbidity of the water circulation system, exactly, to reduce slime
and
prevent its deposition in the heat exchanger, so that the effect of agent will be better.
Generally speaking, if your filter is a quartz sand filter, it usually has two main functions:
1. To reduce suspended solids (turbidity). Otherwise, as the system is running, suspended solids increases
, which will exacerbate the deposition and other problems.
2. Degreasing. Especially the oily turbid circulation, such as steel rolling and continuous casting, has high
oil content and is easy for breeding microorganism and blocking the nozzles.

Application
Activated carbon filtration is very common in a number of home water treatment systems. It can be used as a standalone filter to reduce or eliminate bad tastes and odors, chlorine, and many organic contaminants in municipal (pre-treated or chlorinated) water supplies to produce a significantly improved drinking water. It is also very commonly used as a pre-treatment as part of a reverse osmosis system to reduce many organic contaminants, chlorine, and other items that could foul the reverse osmosis membrane. 0.5 micron carbon block filters are commonly used to remove cysts such as giardia and cryptosporidium.
