•Combines a fine pore structure and high catalytic activity for enhanced adsorption of trace contaminants •Not impregnated •High hardness •Simple equipment design (no pumps or addition of chemicals required) •Smaller system size as compared to standard carbons; lower capital requirements •No safety concerns with exotherms or toxicity as with impregnated carbons •Wide applicability; can eliminate chemical addition
Amerisorb Granular Activated Carbon is a filtration media for reducing objectionable taste and odor in water, including chlorine-related taste and hydrogen sulfide odor. Its high density and balanced pore structure support efficient adsorption of certain dissolved chemicals, particularly organic chemicals.
This granular carbon can be used in domestic or industrial applications with pressurized filter vessels. Product data lists a 12 x 40 mesh size, 33 lbs./cu.ft. density, iodine number 800, and abrasion number 75 minimum, with compliance to American Water Works Association Standard B604-74.
What is Amerisorb Granular Activated Carbon used for?
It is used to help remove objectionable taste and odor from water, including chlorine-related taste and hydrogen sulfide odor.
How does this carbon media work?
It adsorbs certain dissolved chemicals in water by trapping them within the granular activated carbon.
Can it remove chlorine from water?
Yes. The product information states it is used for removal of free chlorine from water supplies.
What type of systems can use this media?
The supplied information states it may be used in domestic or industrial applications using pressurized filter vessels.
What are the listed physical properties?
The product data lists black granular media, 12 x 40 mesh size, 33 lbs./cu.ft. density, water soluble ash less than 0.5%, iodine number 800, and abrasion number 75 minimum.
What water conditions are preferred for best service life?
The product information states the influent should preferably be free of oil and suspended matter, and relatively free of iron for maximum service life.
Does this media require maintenance?
Yes. It requires periodic backwashing to remove accumulated suspended matter, and the carbon must be replaced when the bed loses capacity for taste and odor removal.
What service flow rate is listed?
The listed service flow rate is 5 gpm per square foot.
