Active Carbon AquaSorb 2000 1 kg

Product detailed description

Active Carbon AquaSorb 2000 is used as a filter medium in carbon filters. It is a granular activated carbon produced by steam activation of coal. It represents an ideal balance between adsorption and transport pores, providing optimal performance in a wide range of water treatment applications.

It is suitable for water treatment, beverage production, adsorption of odor and taste contaminants, ion exchangers, etc. 

Activated granular carbon is produced from special types of bituminous coal. Activation occurs through a controlled thermal process, creating an adsorption surface and a porous structure of the carbon that ensures effective adsorption of chlorine and organic compounds with both low and high molecular weights. The result is activated carbon with high density, mechanical strength, and good abrasion resistance.
Activated carbon requires regular backwashing to ensure the removal of mechanical particles and the restoration of the filter layer.
During initial operation, this filter medium requires multiple backwashes to remove air and dust particles from the material. It is recommended to backwash the filter at least 3 times for a duration of 10-15 minutes.

This type of carbon is intended for contact with water used for drinking purposes (according to UNI ISO EN 125915-1:2004).

The price for 1 kg is 154 CZK. In case of a request to order a whole bag of activated carbon (25 kg), please order here.
