It’s possible to reactivate exhausted 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.
We offer the service of reduction or removal of undesirable compounds in distillates, by means of adsorption on activated carbons. These compounds can modify the desired profile, cause color, turbidity, flavor, aroma or other organoleptic effect, depending on their physicochemical characteristics.
All activated carbon applied in water purification, sooner or later becomes a source of bacterial proliferation (due to the organic matter it retains). This makes sanitization of activated carbon necessary.
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.
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.
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.
