Core Industrial Water Treatment Products

Our product portfolio addresses various industrial water treatment needs with high-performance materials designed for different applications and water qualities:

1. Industrial Activated Carbon Solutions

As a cornerstone of our offerings, we provide multiple forms of activated carbon tailored for industrial applications:

  • Coconut Shell Activated Carbon: Known for its superior hardness and low ash content, ideal for potable water treatment and food-grade applications
  • Columnar Activated Carbon: High mechanical strength and uniform pore structure make it perfect for gas phase purification and solvent recovery
  • Honeycomb Activated Carbon: Specialized structure offers low pressure drop and high surface area for exhaust gas treatment systems

Our activated carbon products undergo rigorous quality control with iodine values ranging from 800-1200mg/g, ensuring optimal adsorption performance for various contaminants including organic compounds, chlorine, and odors.

2. Polyacrylamide for Water Treatment

Our polyacrylamide products come in both anionic and cationic variants, with molecular weights from 6-25 million. These flocculants effectively remove suspended solids in wastewater treatment by forming larger, settleable particles through charge neutralization and bridging effects. Typical applications include:

  • Municipal wastewater treatment
  • Industrial effluent clarification
  • Sludge dewatering processes
  • Paper manufacturing retention aids

3. Specialized Chemical Agents

Complementing our core products, we offer:

  • Citric Acid: Effective for metal ion chelation, scale removal, and pH adjustment in various industrial processes
  • Sodium Hydroxide: Used for pH regulation and neutralization in wastewater treatment systems
  • Poly Aluminum Chloride: High-efficiency coagulant for turbidity removal in drinking water and wastewater treatment

Pressure Tank Filtration System Maintenance Guide

Proper maintenance of pressure tank filtration systems is essential for consistent performance and extended equipment lifespan. Based on our experience serving Japanese industrial clients, we’ve developed these maintenance best practices:

1. Regular Cleaning Protocols

For systems using activated carbon filters:

  • Backwash weekly with clean water at 2-3 times the normal flow rate for 5-10 minutes
  • Perform chemical cleaning every 3-6 months using 2-3% citric acid solution (for scale removal) or 1% sodium hydroxide solution (for organic fouling)
  • After chemical cleaning, thoroughly rinse until neutral pH is achieved

2. Filter Media Replacement Schedule

The replacement frequency depends on several factors:

Factor Replacement Indicator
Water quality High contaminant levels require more frequent replacement
Flow rate Higher flow reduces filter lifespan
Pressure differential Replace when pressure drop exceeds 0.07-0.1MPa
Effluent quality Replace when contaminants breakthrough occurs

3. System Inspection Checklist

Monthly inspections should include:

  • Checking for leaks in pressure vessels and piping
  • Verifying pressure gauge accuracy
  • Inspecting control valves for proper operation
  • Examining filter media for channeling or compaction
  • Testing water quality parameters (pH, turbidity, conductivity)

FAQ

What’s the difference between coconut shell and coal-based activated carbon?

Coconut shell activated carbon typically has higher micropore volume and surface area, making it more effective for removing small molecular weight contaminants. Coal-based activated carbon often has more mesopores, better suited for larger molecules and color removal. Our technical team can help select the optimal type based on your specific water quality and treatment objectives.

How can I extend the lifespan of my activated carbon filters?

Proper pre-treatment is key. Install sediment filters upstream to remove particulates that can clog activated carbon pores. Maintain appropriate flow rates (typically 8-15 BV/h) and avoid sudden pressure changes. Regular backwashing helps maintain filter performance between chemical cleanings.

What safety precautions should I take when handling polyacrylamide?

While polyacrylamide itself is non-toxic, its production may involve acrylamide monomers. Always wear protective gloves and goggles when handling dry powder to avoid inhalation. Prepare solutions in well-ventilated areas and follow local regulations for chemical storage and disposal.

How often should I test my treated water quality?

Testing frequency depends on your application and regulatory requirements. For critical industrial processes, we recommend daily testing of key parameters. For general industrial use, weekly testing may suffice. Our team can help establish an appropriate testing protocol based on your specific needs.
