This article explains the treatment objective, the design information that matters and the operating checks that help keep the system practical after installation.
Carbon works by adsorption
Contaminants attach to the large internal surface of the carbon. Capacity is therefore finite and media eventually requires replacement or regeneration depending on the system.
Contact time matters
A vessel that is too small for the flow may provide insufficient contact time. Flow, media volume and target contaminants should be considered together.
Biological management matters
Dechlorinated water can be more susceptible to biological growth downstream, so sanitation and system design remain important.
Need a treatment recommendation for your water?
Send the water source, intended use, approximate demand and any available test report. Waterwise Bangladesh can review the requirement and discuss an appropriate treatment approach.
