What is a PSF & ACF?

Pressure Sand Filters (PSF) and Activated Carbon Filters (ACF) are commonly used for water purification in industrial and commercial applications.

PSF is used to remove turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), and debris particles. The system relies on a filtration bed with pore sizes designed to trap particles effectively.

ACF is used to remove free chlorine, odour, colour, and other impurities, improving the overall quality and taste of water. Activated carbon adsorption enhances water quality and makes it suitable for industrial, commercial, and post-treatment applications.

Types of Activated Carbon

• Charcoal based carbon
• Charcoal based carbon
  Coconut shell based carbon (higher efficiency)

Sources of Water

PSF and ACF systems for post wastewater treatment can treat water from:

• STP treated water – from residential societies, commercial complexes, and municipal or corporation STP plants
• ETP treated water – from industries such as hospitals, automobile industries, textile industries, distilleries, sugar factories, food and beverage industries, pharmaceutical industries, IT companies, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial establishments
• Sea water

Design Parameters

The velocity of water through the filter depends on source water quality and contaminants:

• 10–18 m/h for PSF
• 12–16 m/h for ACF

The density of sand used in PSF is approximately 1.5 ton/m³, while activated carbon has a density of 0.6 to 0.65 ton/m³. Since sand is denser than carbon, it provides better filtration for larger suspended particles.

Highly contaminated water requires lower filtration velocities and more frequent backwashing to maintain efficiency.

Bluemaarlin PSF and ACF Systems

Bluemaarlin designs and installs PSF and ACF systems for industrial and commercial water treatment applications. Our systems are reliable, efficient, and engineered for long-term performance, even under challenging water conditions.

The systems are designed to minimise maintenance costs, allow easy backwashing when required, and consistently deliver clean, safe, and high-quality water suitable for various applications.
