What should be noted for coconut shell activated carbon in reverse osmosis equipment

Coconut shell activated carbon should pay attention to the following four points in reverse osmosis equipment:
1. Regular attention should be paid to the operation status of coconut shell activated carbon components in reverse osmosis purified water treatment equipment. Coconut shell activated carbon is a disposable consumable, and its adsorption capacity is limited by the adsorption threshold. When the saturation capacity is reached, the adsorption efficiency of coconut shell activated carbon will be greatly reduced.
Coconut shell activated carbon, as a treatment equipment for reverse osmosis ultrapure water, its basic filtration is very important. We need to regularly pay attention to the adsorption state of activated carbon inside the shell and whether the performance of activated carbon is normal.

2. Regular high-pressure steam treatment of coconut shell activated carbon can promote the growth of microorganisms and microbial communities, which can adsorb organic matter on the surface of coconut shell activated carbon and become a nutritional machine for microorganisms and plants.
The proliferation of microorganisms and the growth of harmful bacteria such as bacteria and fungi can cover the surface of activated carbon, reduce the effective adsorption area, seriously interfere with the normal operation of purified water equipment, and directly affect the quality of pure water.
Regular high-pressure steam disinfection of coconut shell activated carbon can effectively ensure its adsorption performance and the proliferation of microorganisms and bacteria.

3. In the final stage of using coconut shell activated carbon, a small amount of very fine powdered activated carbon may enter the reverse osmosis system with water flow, causing contamination of the reverse osmosis membrane channel and increasing operating pressure. As the water production decreases and the operating pressure increases, the pressure drop of the system increases. This destructive effect is difficult to recover with conventional cleaning methods.
Therefore, it is necessary to clean and clean coconut shell activated carbon, remove fine powder, and then dry the filtered water to the subsequent reverse osmosis system. The effect of coconut shell activated carbon is very significant, and attention should also be paid to disinfection and cleaning of new coconut shell activated carbon.

4. In addition to regular disinfection treatment, the ultra pure water treatment equipment also needs to add coconut shell activated carbon in a timely manner. The size of activated carbon particles varies, and a small amount of powdered activated carbon particles are also a type of impurity.
Once activated carbon powder enters the reverse osmosis module with water flow, it will cause contamination of the reverse osmosis membrane flow channel. This type of damage cannot be treated with traditional cleaning methods. The increase in system operating pressure and the total pressure drop of the system will damage the entire reverse osmosis pure water equipment.
The filtration effect of activated carbon is very important, however, the system problems brought by coconut shell activated carbon cannot be ignored. The new type of activated carbon in coconut shells can only be replaced reasonably after washing and removing the powder.
