Sorptive Filter Element
“Silver Filtration” is a sorptive filter element based on granular activated cocoa carbon impregnated with 0.4% silver. It is designed for effective adsorption and improvement of the organoleptic properties of liquids, including smell, taste, softness, and overall sensory quality. The EPSF.UAg0.4 filter element is designed as a carbon-filled “minicolumn.” The space between the outer shell and the inner core is filled with activated carbon. Liquid enters through the lower opening of the outer shell, passes through the carbon bed, and is discharged through the upper opening of the inner core. The construction of the element takes into account the swelling characteristics of the activated carbon during operation, preventing channel formation and ensuring uniform contact between the liquid and carbon, even at high flow rates.
Activated Carbon
- Type: Granular activated cocoa carbon
- Hardness: >97%
- Specific surface area: >1,000 m²/g
- Silver impregnation: 0.4%
- Carbon density: Approximately 0.5 g/cm³
- Silver migration: The impregnation technology is designed to prevent migration of silver into the filtrate.
