Abstract	Activated carbon facilities for water treatment must be regenerated or changed because their adsorption capacities decrease with the passage of operating time. An innovative system of activated carbon auto-regeneration system for water treatment filtration (ARWF) is capable of both operations of adsorption treatment and activated carbon regeneration simultaneously. Upon adsorption, capacity of activated carbon decreases to a certain level, the process of regeneration begins automatically. Regenerating process is operated by boiler, line heater, and spray which are located at nozzle pipe inside column.
