The filter combines cellulose, diatomite, activated carbon, and synthetic resin in a three-dimensional depth filtration structure. Suspended particles are retained within the depth media, while activated carbon provides additional adsorption of color bodies, odors, organic impurities, and other adsorbable contaminants. This allows particle filtration and adsorption to be performed in one filtration stage.

The correct rating depends on feed turbidity, particle size distribution, contaminant loading, required filtrate clarity, adsorption objective, flow rate, and downstream process requirements. Available ratings include 0.5–0.8 μm, 3.0–6.0 μm, and 6.0–15 μm. Finer grades provide tighter particle retention, while coarser grades may be more suitable for higher-solids feeds.

In suitable applications, the integrated activated carbon media can simplify processes that would otherwise require separate powdered carbon dosing, mixing, carbon removal, and downstream filtration. However, adsorption capacity depends on the contaminant type, concentration, contact conditions, and required removal level, so process testing is recommended before replacing an existing carbon treatment step.

The listed maximum operating temperature is below 40°C, and the maximum differential pressure is 4.0 bar at 23°C. Actual operating conditions should also consider fluid viscosity, contaminant concentration, adsorption load, selected filter grade, flow rate, and batch conditions to maintain stable filtration and adsorption performance.

Replacement should be based on both filtration and adsorption performance rather than a fixed service interval. Typical indicators include increasing differential pressure, reduced flow rate, deterioration in filtrate clarity, reduced decolorization performance, or breakthrough of odor or target contaminants. Actual service life depends on solids loading, contaminant concentration, fluid composition, flow conditions, and required product quality.
