AquaSorb 2000
Granular coal based activated carbon
Soft drinks manufacturers and breweries rely upon
AquaSorb activated carbon for dechlorination and
dissolved organic removal.
AquaSorb 2000 is high activity granular activated carbon manufactured by
steam activation from select grades of bituminous coal. The perfect
balance between adsorption and transport pores provides optimum
performance in a wide range of water treatment applications. The product
is a high density adsorbent and provides maximum volume activity. The
material is water washed during manufacture and therefore wets rapidly.
The excellent hardness and mechanical strength ensures negligible losses
during backwashing, air scouring and multiple reactivations.
