The EuroPEK CF Activated Carbon Filter of Wavin-Labko Ltd is designed to purify the wastewaters from yards, from other open areas, and the ground waters contaminated with oil, dissolvents or other hydrocarbons. The delay time for wastewaters is two times longer than for rainwaters.
The extraction of the impurities from wastewater is based on the filter part of the separator, in which the activated carbon adsorbs the unwanted particles. With time, the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon is reduced. The life span of the activated carbon depends on the fact how much impurities the water led into it contains.
The water led into the activated carbon filter should contain as little solids and oils as possible. I.e. a sand and sludge trap and an oil separator should precede the filter. This contributes to a longer life and service span of the activated carbon filter.
