General Carbon Corporation products

The General Carbon Corporation’s Oil-Kleen is formulated to remove undissolved oil and grease from aqueous streams. A quaternary ammonia amine is impregnated onto natural zeolite, resulting in a granular product that attracts and holds free oil. The less soluble a compound is in water, the better GC Oil-Kleen will work. When used as a pretreatment for activated carbon, Oil-Kleen can greatly extend carbon life. There is no harmful increase in pressure drop as GC Oil-Kleen works. This keeps your system safe from over-pressurization problems.

GC Filtral is a granular activated alumina designed for the removal of lead, fluoride, chromium, zinc, iron, phosphates and other heavy metals from water. Highly adsorbent, the GC Filtral is able to adsorb as much as 1.4g fluoride per 100g alumina with less than 1 ppm fluoride evident in the water effluent. Conditioning of the GC Filtral with dilute aluminum sulfate prior to use greatly enhances performance. The adsorbent needs only to be contacted for one hour with 29g/L of aluminum sulfate (Al2(So4)3,18 H2O) solution and it is ready for use.

GC Filtral-AS is a granular, activated alumina specially designed with a proprietary additive for the removal of arsenic from water. The GC Filtral-AS media is typically able to remove two to three times more arsenic than standard activated alumina.

GC Bonifibers are a particulate filter and coalescing/holding media for undissolved hydrocarbons. The distinctive construction of Bonifibers traps and holds emulsions and small particles. Melt spun from polyolefin, the fibers are composed solely of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen which makes them very oleophilic and hydrophobic. The individual fibers are very fine making the mass of interlocking Bonifibers very light (2 lbs./ft.3) with an appearance like cotton batting.
