Centaur - 12x40 - Granular Activated Carbon

CENTAURY 12x40 can be used in liquid phase applications for the promotion of oxidation, reduction, decomposition, substitution, and elimination reactions. Specific applications include chloramine, hydrogen sulfide, bromate reduction, and iron removal from drinking water. This product is particularly suited for use in residential and commercial water filters, for treatment of process water in the bottling and soft drink industries, and for aquarium water treatment. CENTAURY 12x40 combines a fine pore structure for enhanced adsorption of trace contaminants with high catalytic activity for their elimination. Thermal reactivation is an option for recycle and reuse of this product to minimize operating costs and eliminate disposal concerns.

CENTAUR 12x40 is intended primarily for use in liquid phase systems to promote catalytic reactions. Depending on the reactant concentrations the required contact time is usually less than five minutes. The backwashed and drained density of the product is typically 33 lb./ft3.
