High-Capacity Activated Carbon Filter

Our activated carbon filter is a cutting-edge purification device designed to eliminate contaminants, odors, and harmful substances from both liquids and gases, leveraging the exceptional adsorption properties of high-purity activated carbon. Sourced from eco-friendly, food-grade raw materials—including premium coconut shell activated carbon (for superior adsorption) and coal-based activated carbon (for heavy-duty use)—our filter is engineered for durability, efficiency, and full compliance with global standards such as FDA Title 21, USP Class VI, ISO 9001, and EU Regulation No. 1935/2004. Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, it delivers clean, safe water and air by targeting a wide range of pollutants, while featuring a user-friendly design, easy installation, and minimal maintenance to provide long-term value for users worldwide.

Technical Features

Premium Activated Carbon Core: Adopts high-quality activated carbon with a specific surface area of 850-1250m²/g and a particle size of 2-6mm, featuring a well-developed pore structure that enhances adsorption efficiency and pollutant retention. With an iodine value of ≥820mg/g, it effectively captures organic compounds, heavy metals, residual chlorine, VOCs, and other harmful substances, ensuring thorough purification.

Stable & Adaptable Operation: Designed to operate under a working pressure of 0.05MPa to 0.65MPa, an operating temperature of 5℃ to 48℃, and a filtration speed of 8-14m/h, with an empty bed contact time (EBCT) of 5-11 minutes. This flexibility ensures consistent performance in diverse environments, from home use to heavy-industry applications.

Intelligent Backwashing & Regeneration: Equipped with an automatic backwashing system that removes surface impurities when activated carbon reaches saturation (indicated by effluent residual chlorine >0.1mg/L or persistent odor), restoring partial adsorption capacity. For long-term saturation, the activated carbon can be regenerated via high-temperature processing or steam cleaning, allowing reuse 5-10 times, reducing waste and operational costs.

Compact & Quiet Design: Features a space-saving, modular design that fits easily in limited installation areas. Optional intelligent functions include real-time purification monitoring, automatic filter status alerts, and remote control via mobile APP, providing convenience and peace of mind. The filter operates at ≤40dB, ensuring silent operation without disrupting daily activities or industrial workflows.

Strict Quality Control: All components are made of non-toxic, food-grade materials with complete batch traceability. The filter body is constructed from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, FRP, or rubber-lined carbon steel, ensuring a service life of 9-15 years for the tank and 1-3 years for the activated carbon (depending on usage conditions and pollutant concentration).

Advantages

Exceptional Purification Efficiency: Removes 99% of residual chlorine, 30%-60% of COD, and ≥88% of odors and chroma from water; efficiently adsorbs formaldehyde, benzene, TVOC, heavy metal ions (Pb²⁺, Hg²⁺), and other harmful substances in air, achieving a purification efficiency of up to 96% with proper dwell time.

Cost-Effective & Eco-Friendly: With affordable, widely available raw materials and mature manufacturing processes, the filter offers low initial investment and maintenance costs. The reusable activated carbon reduces long-term expenses and environmental impact, while the low pressure drop and high flow rate minimize energy consumption, making it an economical and eco-friendly choice.

Versatile & Customizable: Suitable for both liquid and gas filtration, it adapts to diverse scenarios, including homes, offices, hospitals, food processing plants, and industrial facilities. It can be installed in single-tank or multi-tank parallel configurations, accommodating flow rates of 0.4-550m³/h, and can be customized based on specific pollutant types, treatment capacity, and installation space.

Easy to Maintain & Operate: The simple, robust structure eliminates the need for complex maintenance. Daily upkeep only involves monitoring effluent quality and pressure difference, with regular filter material inspection and replacement. Removable carbon cartridges are available for quick and easy replacement, saving time and labor costs.

Safe & Reliable: No chemical additives are used during purification, preventing secondary pollution. All materials are food-grade and non-toxic, meeting global safety standards. The filter also protects downstream equipment (such as RO membranes and ion exchange resins) from oxidation, extending the service life of the entire purification system.

Application Fields

1. Water Treatment

Perfect for drinking water purification (residential, community water supply, and water plant deep treatment) to remove residual chlorine, odors, and organic pollutants, improving water taste and safety. In industrial settings (chemical, electronics, pharmaceutical, and textile industries), it is used for feed water pre-treatment and wastewater deep purification, helping meet strict discharge standards. It is also suitable for circulating water, swimming pool water, and landscape water treatment to remove impurities and residual chlorine.

2. Air Purification

Widely used in indoor air purification (homes, offices, hospitals, and hotels) to adsorb formaldehyde, benzene, TVOC, smoke, and pet odors, creating a healthy indoor environment. In industrial settings (chemical spraying workshops, semiconductor factories, and waste treatment plants), it removes harmful gases and odors, protecting the health of workers. It is also integrated into automotive air conditioning filters to improve in-car air quality.

3. Food & Pharmaceutical Industry

Applied in food processing (beverages, alcohol, and edible oil production) to remove pigments, odors, and organic impurities, enhancing product quality and taste. In pharmaceutical production, it is used for medicinal water purification and the adsorption of organic solvents and pyrogens in medicinal liquids, ensuring compliance with strict pharmaceutical standards.

4. Other Scenarios

Suitable for gas separation and purification (such as hydrogen and nitrogen separation), precious metal recovery (gold and silver from electroplating wastewater), and industrial exhaust treatment (removal of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides), meeting diverse purification needs across various industries.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the service life of the activated carbon filter, and how do I know when to replace it?The activated carbon has a service life of 1-3 years (depending on pollutant concentration and usage scenario), while the filter tank can last 9-15 years. Key signs that replacement is needed include: persistent odor in filtered water or air, effluent residual chlorine exceeding 0.1mg/L, inlet-outlet pressure difference over 0.1MPa, or a drop in activated carbon iodine value below 520mg/g.

Can I install the activated carbon filter myself, or do I need a professional?Residential and small commercial models come with a detailed installation manual, allowing you to install them yourself by connecting water/air pipes and securing the filter body. For large industrial models, we recommend professional installation to ensure stable operation and optimal performance. We also provide online installation guidance and after-sales support if you encounter any issues.

What types of activated carbon filters do you offer, and how do I select the right one?We offer three main types of filters, each tailored to specific scenarios.

Do I need a pre-filter with the activated carbon filter, and what type is recommended?A pre-filter is highly recommended if the incoming water or air contains particulate impurities, as it prevents the activated carbon from clogging and extends its service life. For air filtration with dust, choose a HEPA pre-filter (for particles <1 micron); for kitchen exhaust, use a grease filter. For water filtration, select a sand filter if inlet turbidity is >5NTU, or a PP pre-filter for general particulate removal.

Is your activated carbon filter safe for food and drinking water use, and does it have relevant certifications?Yes, our filter is completely safe for food and drinking water use. All materials are food-grade and non-toxic, and we hold certifications including FDA Title 21, USP Class VI, ISO 9001, and EU Regulation No. 1935/2004.
