Carbonairs Mobile Water Treatment Trailer


Carbonairs 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.
