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.
