AquaSorb 1 Cu. Ft. Bag of Coconut Shell GAC, NSF 42 Certified

Model #: HS-12x40


HS-12x40
NSF® Certified
NSF 61 Certified

Coconut shell activated carbon offers high surface area, extensive micro-porous structure which makes it an exceptional absorbent of molecules that are more difficult to remove. Furthermore these coconut shell activated carbons particularly attractive for water and critical air applications as well as point-of-use water filters and respirators.

AquaSorb HS is an acid washed high purity high activity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam activation from a sustainable raw material source. This activated carbon is produced for use in ultra-pure water treatment systems requiring low conductivity and exceptionally high purity. This activated carbon is also suitable for the removal of heavy hydrocarbons from recovered condensate. The acid washing process removes soluble silica from the matrix of the activated carbon to prevent leaching into the condensate.
