SYSTEMS
DESIGN
UPFLOW SYSTEM
Upflow systems of HydroSorb Adsorber have several advantages over downflow systems. While you can design both upflow and downflow systems, they each have their applications and benefits. Upflow systems are mostly designed for residential and small applications.
The biggest advantage of upflow systems is their low maintenance and effectiveness in treating water contaminants. HydroSorb systems should be installed in every home because they need no valves or electricity.
DOWNFLOW SYSTEM
HydroSorb as an adsorption process utilizes Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs), Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), and a coating of Ferrous compounds. Given this context, here are the advantages of Downflow operation specifically related to such a system.

QUESTIONS
What is HydroSorb?
HydroSorb is an advanced water purification product developed by Watch Water® that utilizes innovative Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs). It is designed to adsorb a wide variety of contaminants from water, making it an ideal solution for industries and municipalities seeking clean and safe water.
How does HydroSorb work?
HydroSorb’s hydrophilic surface attracts and binds contaminants like organic compounds, heavy metals, and emerging pollutants. Through adsorption, the contaminants are retained on the surface of HydroSorb, ensuring cleaner and safer water. It operates using Van der Waals forces to capture pollutants in its unique pore structure, which includes micro, meso, and macro-pores.
What contaminants can HydroSorb remove?
HydroSorb can effectively remove a wide range of contaminants, including:
- Organic contaminants (Pesticides, Pharmaceuticals, VOCs)
- Inorganic pollutants (Fluorides, Sulfates, Chlorides, TDS)
- Heavy metals (Lead, Mercury, Chromium)
- Radioactive contaminants (Radon, Uranium, Radium)
- Emerging contaminants (Microplastics, PFAS, Endocrine Disruptors)
What are PFAS, and how does HydroSorb address them?
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a group of man-made chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment. HydroSorb is highly effective in removing PFAS, including types like PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFBS, PFHxS, and GenX. These "forever chemicals" are difficult to eliminate, but HydroSorb’s advanced adsorption capabilities target and reduce them to ensure safe drinking water.
Where can HydroSorb be used?
HydroSorb is versatile and can be used in various settings, including:
- Municipal and residential drinking water systems
- Industrial wastewater treatment
- Environmental remediation projects
- Air filtration systems
- Applications involving the removal of emerging contaminants like PFAS and microplastics
What makes HydroSorb different from traditional filtration systems?
HydroSorb stands out due to its high surface area of 6000-6500 m²/g, allowing for superior adsorption compared to traditional filtration systems. It targets both organic and inorganic pollutants and is designed with eco-friendly materials and processes. HydroSorb also requires less maintenance and offers longer operational life, reducing the need for frequent replacement or regeneration.
How does HydroSorb contribute to environmental sustainability?
HydroSorb is made from environmentally friendly materials and is produced using sustainable manufacturing processes. Its long-lasting adsorption capacity and easy regeneration process contribute to reducing waste, lowering operational costs, and minimizing environmental impact.
How do I regenerate HydroSorb?
HydroSorb can be easily regenerated using Instant Oxydes, a solid oxidizing agent that releases hydroxyl radicals. This process breaks down contaminants adsorbed on the HydroSorb surface, restoring its full adsorption capacity. The regeneration process is simple, cost-effective, and significantly extends the life of the adsorber.
What are the key technical specifications of HydroSorb?
HydroSorb features:
- Surface Area: 6000-6500 m²/g
- Particle Size: 0.6-2.4 mm
- Bulk Density: 730-750 kg/m³
- Operating Temperature: 15-80°C
- Operating Pressure: 2-8 bars
Why should I choose HydroSorb for water purification?
HydroSorb is a cutting-edge solution for water purification, offering superior adsorption capabilities, eco-friendly design, and the ability to tackle emerging contaminants like PFAS and microplastics. It’s suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential drinking water systems to large industrial water treatments. Its easy regeneration process and long-lasting performance make it a sustainable and cost-effective choice.
