2. Carbonair’s Mobile Water Treatment Trailer
Carbonair’s mobile water treatment trailer is a perfect fit for a
variety of temporary water treatment applications including,
construction dewatering, groundwater remediation, underground
storage tank replacement and pipeline hydrostatic test water
treatment.
The system consists of four custom designed Carbonair MPC
28 Filter Vessels with special internal piping, preceded by a dual
multi-round bag filter skid. The filter vessels are equipped with
piping and valves to allow for running them in parallel or series, as
well as isolation of any single vessel and for performing
backwashing as required. The trailer comes equipped with a 1000
gpm dual multi-round pre-filter that allows for exchange of bag
filters in one filter housing, while continuing to run in
forward flow at 1000 gpm through the second housing. The filter
vessels can be supplied with a variety of Granular Activated
Carbon (GAC) as well as other specialty filtration media
including ion exchange resin, oil adsorbing media, arsenic
removal media, amine impregnated zeolite and others. The
system is trailer mounted and self contained, making delivery and
setup fast and safe.
