CARBON/ CATALYST FILTER

The Carbon Candle Filter is a pressure-type filtration system that uses activated carbon candles as filtering media to remove impurities such as colour, chlorine, and organic contaminants from liquids. These are widely used in industries requiring high-purity liquid filtration, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, and water treatment. The candles may be sintered or bag type.

Applications

  • Water purification (chlorine, odor, pesticides)
  • Beverage and food processing
  • Air purification
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Chemical industry (solvent recovery)
  • Viscose fibres
  • Filtration in bio-diesel plants
  • Caffeine plant extract

Material of Construction

  • Stainless Steel 304
  • Stainless Steel 316
  • Hastelloy

Components

  • Pressure vessel encloses and supports all filtration components
  • Candles are porous cylindrical tubes that perform the main filtration
  • Filter media covers the candles and captures solid particles
  • Pressure gauges, vents and valves for operation
  • Inlet/outlet ports allow slurry feed, cake discharge and filtrate removal
  • Cake discharge system is used to remove dried filter cake from candles
