1. Hanging method
In this installation method, CarbonFiber water purification material
is hung from water surface. To hang from water surface, floats are attached
to one side of the material. Moreover, weights are attached to the other
side in order to make the material sway in the water. The advantage of
this method is easy to install.
1 ) Hanging with rope method
This is the most basic method which CarbonFiber water purification material
is hung with a rope from water surface. Weights and CarbonFiber water purification
material are attached to the rope, and the ends and middle of the rope
is fixed with supporting materials. If the width of water area is narrow,
support stakes are set up in both sides of banks. In wide width area, extra
support stakes or floats are used to prevent the material from sinking.
When the depth of water in the installation site is shallower than the
length of the material ( 70 cm in general ), U type attaching set should
be used. I type attaching set is used in area deeper than 70 cm. CarbonFiber
is able to be connected vertically, so it can be applied in deeper area.

Fix both ends of rope by stake. If the width of water area is narrow, support
stakes are set up in both sides of banks. If there is water flow the place
or stakes are not be able to be installed, stakes are set up to the direction
of flow and ropes are fixed. Extra support stakes are used to prevent the
material from sinking according to the length of rope. |
※ |
Attach floats to rope at intervals of 1 m. This installation method is
suitable for wide water area, water lever is changed greatly, and stakes
are not be able to fixed. If it is likely to be flowed by water flow or
wind, attach weight at the bottom or moor from the coast. |
2 ) Rope floating unit
Since it purifies a large amount of water in large water area effectively,
large scale of installation is possible by setting up Hanging with rope
unit.

3 ) Hanging with raft method
In this method, CarbonFiber water purification material is hung with rafts.
Rafts are made by wood or PVC, which have sufficient strength and weather
resistance. Float can also be attached if it is needed. Weight of sludge
and vegetation attached to CarbonFiber water purification material should
be considered for obtaining enough buoyancy. CarbonFiber is able to be
connected vertically, so it can also suit even in deep area.

4 ) Hanging with floating island method
CarbonFiber water purification material is attached to the bottom of floating
island. In addition to its effect on water purification, the floating island
can contributes to landscape improvement by establishing green belt. Moreover,
plants on the island absorbed contamination agents such as nitrogen and
phosphorus, thus facilitating water purification. CarbonFiber water purification
material, roots, and stems also becomes egg-laying sites for fish. Since
CarbonFiber hides fish from their enemies, fish come around it.

2. Floating method
CarbonFiber water purification material is fixed to bottom of the water
by steel-frame or weights. To surface the material, floats are attached.
In the bottom, heavy equipments, such as steel-frame, weights or anchor
should be attached to prevent the material from move by water flow. If
robust anchoring materials, such as cement, are applied in the bottom of
water, anchor bolts should be used to fix the material. In float's buoyancy,
weight of sludge and plants should be considered.
In this method, CarbonFiber purifies water by swaying like seaweed and
becomes hiding places for fish. Since it is not seen on the water, it doesn't
impair scenery. Moreover, this method doesn't interfere with water flow.
Although this method can be used in the place where is large water level
fluctuation, floats might appear at shallow water level. CarbonFiber is
able to be connected vertically, so it can also suit even in deep area.

3. Fixing method
In this method, both ends of CarbonFiber water purification material are
fixed by steel-frame in the water. By fixing both ends, the material can
keep stable swaying without interference of water flow or attached substances.
Motion range of its bottom end should be adjusted to produce large swaying
of CarbonFiber. If there is a possibility that the unit is moved by water
flow, anchor or weights should be used. When strong anchoring materials,
such as cement, are applied in the bottom of water, anchor bolts should
be used to fix the material.
If the depth is too deep, CarbonFiber should be connected vertically.
When the material applies to the place where is large water level fluctuation,
it is necessary to prevent CarbonFiber from appearing from water surface.
In case of stable water level, this method doesn't impair scenery. Moreover,
since surface flow is not affected by this method, it is expected stable
water purification. Hence, this method is suitable for water purification
facilities.

4. Bottom-laying method
In this method, the textile CarbonFiber water purification material is
used for bottom sediment decomposition. The material is fixed by steel-frames,
piles, or weights to prevent the materials from being flowed. Bottom of
the water is generally lack of oxygen, so it is preferable to use it in
combination with floating method or fixing method.
5. Floating and bottom-laying method
The textile CarbonFiber water purification material is attached to the
bottom of floating unit. Water purification is conducted by the tassel
CarbonFiber water purification material, while the textile CarbonFiber
attached to the bottom is for bottom sediment decomposition.

6. Fixing and bottom-laying method
The textile CarbonFiber water purification material is attached to the
bottom of fixing unit. Water purification is conducted by the tassel CarbonFiber
water purification material, while the textile CarbonFiber attached to
the bottom is for decomposition of bottom sediment.
