Activated carbon powder has been used in filter sheets for many years, primarily for colour removal from low grade sugar syrups and chlorine removal from water to be used in soft drinks production.
The number of carbon sheet treatment applications has escalated, not only in their variety, but also because of their convenience.
Benefits
no need for use of loose activated carbon powder or granules
no need for use of filters and filter aids to facilitate removal of activated carbon from the process fluid
no messy filter cake
less time consuming
easier and cheaper disposal of spent filter materials
Always remember, as with all activated carbon treatment systems, the quality, grade of activated carbon and contact time affects the adsorption capacity.
