ResinTech Acid Washed Coconut Carbon Resin
12 × 30 Mesh

ResinTech AGC-30 CS is a coconut shell based, premium grade, granular activated carbon supplied as either DRY or PRE-MOISTENED granules with a size range of 8 to 30 mesh. The pore structure is carefully controlled to facilitate the adsorption of both high and low molecular weight organic molecules.

ResinTech AGC-30 CS is intended for use in dechlorinating water and reducing organic impurities, as pretreatment for reverse osmosis and ion exchange systems.

Features & Benefits:

• Reduced fines and dust
  The pre-moistened grades are easier and safer to handle. They are virtually free of the carbon dust and fines that are responsible for the hazardous smoke and fumes created when handling dry granular activated carbon. The retained moisture also cushions the product during shipment, which retards dust and fines generation, and acts as a binder to minimize airborne dust during loading.
  
  
• Optimum Mesh Size
  The 8x30 mesh carbon has approximately 10 percent greater surface area than 8x30 mesh carbon and is more highly activated due to the smaller granule size. 8x30 mesh carbon is the ideal choice for applications that require very low release of carbon fines.
  
  
• NSF/ANSI 61 certified for material safety
  
  
• Ideal pore structure
  Well-defined pore structure and high surface area maximizes the removal of color bodies and dissolved organics that cause undesirable taste, odor or foam.
  
  
• Superior physical stability
  Very durable surface provides minimum attrition and long life. Suitable for steam regeneration.

Recommended Resins for Specific Contaminants

Pressure Drop

The chart below shows the expected pressure loss per foot of bed depth as a function of flow rate, at various temperatures.

Backwash Expansion

The carbon bed should be backwashed at least once a week with chlorinated water to achieve a bed expansion of 15 to 20%. This process helps to keep the carbon bed sterile and removes any foreign matter and carbon fines.
