Activated Carbon Media

ACM is a recommended method of filtration for highly contaminated drinking where contaminants cannot be removed by water softeners or physical filtration.The activated carbon is an excellent medium for filtration and adsorption where organic molecules in a liquid or gas get stuck at the surface of the pores of activated carbon. Water is passed through granular or block carbon material to reduce toxic compounds as well as harmless taste- and odor-producing chemicals. This ensures that the liquid or gas passing through the carbon is freed from impurities.

The efficiency of the adsorption process is influenced by carbon characteristics (particle and pore size, surface area, density and hardness) and the contaminant characteristics.
