Construction and Design
The Adsorption Apparatus OperatiX - 13 is built around two adsorbers, each with a 75mm inside diameter, 600mm height, and 2500mL capacity. Both adsorbers are filled with activated carbon. The second adsorber functions as a safety Adsorber to protect the closed water circuit. 8 sampling ports are positioned on the adsorber, with sampling valves set 100mm from the bottom and 50mm apart from each other. A circulation pump moves water through the circuit at a maximum flow rate of 0.15 to 2.5LPM and a maximum head of 5bar. A metering pump injects concentrated adsorbate solution at a maximum flow rate of 0 to 4L/h and a maximum head of 8bar. A 3-stage heater, rated 3x1000W with a maximum power of 3000W, controls water temperature, displayed digitally. A feed tank and an adsorbate tank each hold 50L.
