Reactivation of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
It's possible to reactivate spent granular activated carbon by various methods, thermal activation is the most common (exposed to 800 °C on a rotary furnace in an atmosphere saturated with water vapor.) The obtained carbon usually recovers all of its original capacity. With reactivation, the need to dispose of spent carbon (as industrial waste) is avoided and savings of up to 50% can be achieved in the replacement of activated carbon - reactivation.
Sanitization
All activated carbon applied in water purification, sooner or later becomes a source of bacterial proliferation (due to the organic matter it retains). Then it becomes necessary to sanitize the carbon, a task that is not easy since carbon decomposes the oxidizing agents that are used for this purpose (chlorine, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, etc.). Our company offers the service, advice and the right product for sanitization.
Technical advice on activated carbon and water treatment.
In case we determine that activated carbon is the most competitive solution to a purification problem, we select the most suitable carbon, design and select the equipment by means of adsorption isotherms, column processes at laboratory and pilot plant level. Operational troubleshooting and operation optimization.
Change of granular media beds (activated carbon, sand, anthracite, Etc.)
We offer the correct installation and start-up of all types of beds, based on the technical standards of recognized organizations, such as ANSI and AWWA.
Installation and maintenance of water treatment equipment.
We install and maintain water treatment equipment such as: filters, industrial filters, activated carbon purifiers, reverse osmosis, water softeners, ozone generators and ultraviolet light equipment.
Granular activated carbon canisters recycling
The canisters offered by Carbotecnia are drums that, in addition to containing activated carbon, are connected as purification equipment. When the carbon has been saturated, in addition to recycling it, the canister is recycled to avoid maintenance work at your company.
Maintenance of reverse osmosis systems
Reverse osmosis membranes require chemical treatment to remove carbonate, silica and organic matter deposits, as well as the control of microorganisms that develop inside the membranes.
