Active Carbon

ACTIVE CARBON

Media filter is a material that serves to filter various kinds of contaminants in water, but each media filter has its own function in accordance with the benefits that exist in the content of the filter media. One of the filter media that is often used is Activated Carbon. The following is an explanation of activated carbon filter media.

What is Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is a granular / granular filter media that has very large and wide pores. The pores function to absorb every contaminant in the water flowing through the activated carbon. If taken into account, there are around 450 grams of activated carbon containing about 40 hectares of surface area.

How it works Activated Carbon

The working system of activated carbon is by absorbing, where when there is a bad content found in water, the activated carbon is able to absorb some of the content. Even in polluted water, turbid or smelly water and activated carbon are able to overcome all these obstacles.

Activated Carbon Raw Material

Some of the raw materials found in activated carbon are coconut shells, oil palm shells, coal, plant material, etc. However, there are various natural ingredients found in activated carbon, but with advances in technology, there are some chemists who have found certain ways to make activated carbon with certain chemicals.
