Contufilt Activated Carbon Filtration System: A Superior Alternative to Sparkler Filters
Top Posts
In industries where liquid and slurry filtration are essential, activated carbon filtration has emerged as an efficient, high-performance solution. Diva Envitec’s Contufilt-AC tubular filtration system presents a modern and reliable replacement for traditional sparkler filters, which have inherent drawbacks.
Contufilt-AC enhances filtration quality, effectively removing suspended solids and polishing liquids, all while offering ease of maintenance in a compact, operator-safe design. The high-capacity, back-washable system operates without the need for frequent opening, minimizing downtime and operator exposure. This operational efficiency makes Contufilt-AC a versatile choice for a wide range of industries.
What is Activated Carbon Filtration?
Activated carbon filtration is a method widely used to adsorb impurities, colors, VOCs, and odors from liquids and gases. Activated carbon’s porous structure and high surface area make it highly effective in trapping contaminants.
Commonly, industries use activated carbon in powdered or granular forms to purify liquids and gases by removing unwanted organic compounds. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemical manufacturing rely on activated carbon for product consistency and purity in their processes. Activated carbon filtration is thus essential for decolorizing, deodorizing, and polishing, enabling high-quality standards in production.
Challenges with Sparkler Filters
Sparkler filters, although widely used, have significant limitations. They tend to clog frequently, resulting in unplanned maintenance, downtime, and increased operational costs.
Sparkler filters are open systems, exposing operators to hazardous materials during cleaning and requiring extensive manual intervention, especially during “dressing” (changing and cleaning filter elements).
Their limited filtration capacity for high-solid loads and poor backwash capability make them inefficient for high-performance requirements. These design limitations restrict sparkler filters’ use, particularly in processes demanding high precision and reliability.
Diva’s Contufilt-AC System
Diva Envitec’s Contufilt-AC filtration system is specifically engineered to overcome the limitations of traditional sparkler filters. Operating with an “outside-in” flow mode, Contufilt-AC captures solids on the filter surface, creating an easily removable cake layer. The tubular filter elements, made from vacuum-fused metallic media, ensure thorough backwashing, making the cleaning process efficient and minimizing downtime. Designed as a compact, closed system, Contufilt-AC improves operator safety by limiting exposure to hazardous materials. The system meets ASME standards, making it suitable for high differential pressure applications and ensuring continuous, reliable performance even in high-solids filtration scenarios.
