The
General
Water Pollution Control Barrels are low cost, self contained
water purification adsorbers designed to treat liquid streams
of up to 20 GPM. The units are available in four different sizes
to better serve your treatment needs.

| Activated Carbon
- The
General liquid adsorbers are filled with virgin, high activity
GC 8x30 carbon. Virgin GC 12x40, reactivated GC
8x30R or other special carbons are also available. |
| |
Removable Lid
- 16 gauge
lid with ring & bolt closure and poly clad cellulose gasket.
Connections - Metal connections with standard pipe threads
insure easy, durable and leakproof hookup to your system. Unions
or quick connect fittings are advised to make drum exchange
easy. |
| |
| Flow Distributors
- Both inlet and outlet have low pressure drop, slotted Schedule
40 PVC distributors. Units work well in either an upflow or
downflow manner when the start up procedure is followed. Stainless
Steel internals and drums are available for special applications. |
| |
| Coatings
- The General water pollution control barrels are coated
on the inside with heat cured phenolic epoxy. The outside coating
is industrial enamel. A polyethylene liner is available for
extra corrosion resistance for the 55 gallon and 85 gallon units. |
| |
| Installation
& Startup -
If possible, before the units are used for the first time, they
should be filled with clean water for a period of 8 to 12 hours
to allow the carbon to degas. A gentle backwash is also recommended
to remove carbon fines that can cause excessive pressure drop
through the unit. Multiple units are usually connected in series
with testing between the units advised to determine when the
first unit needs to be changed out. |
| |
| Maintenance -
Once connected, The General requires no maintenance other
than the monitoring of the influent and effluent liquid streams
and the operating pressure of the system. Monitoring the liquid
stream into the last Water Pollution Control Barrel in series
mode is a recommended safeguard against breakthrough in the
final outflow. When the concentration of contaminants in the
outflow equals the concentration in the inflow, The General
has reached its removal capacity and should be removed from
service. The working life of each adsorber is dependent upon
the type of contaminant in the water as well as its concentration
and the liquid flow rate. A pressure relief device is advised
to prevent damage to the canister in the event of excessive
pressure buildup. |
| |
| Recharging The
General -
Once the carbon is saturated by contaminants, the unit should
be removed and replaced with a fresh one. To purchase replacement
carbon or to arrange for a carbon change out, please contact
our office. |
| |
| Disposal -
Dispose of the spent carbon in accordance with Federal, State,
and Local regulations. |
| |
| |
|
Warning!
|
|
Wet
activated carbon readily absorbs free oxygen. ANY entry into
carbon vessels requires procedures for confined space entry
and oxygen depletion to be followed!
