Catalytic Carbon Filter Cartridge

Introducing  Choramine Blocker GC 12X30SCI

GC 12x30SCI is a virgin activated carbon which is granular in form.  Made from selected grades of coconut shell, its enhanced microporosity makes it particularly well suited for the removal of most organic compounds, chlorinated by-products such as chloroform and chloramines and other trihalomethanes (THMs). It is also ideally suited for the removal of oxidising agents such as chlorine and ozone from process water. Its superior level of hardness makes it cleaner than most other carbons and gives it longer life expectancy. Certified by the NSF, it is suitable for drinking water and food grade applications.

Our Catalytic carbon filter material  has a modified surface performed by a chemical process in which the electronic structure of the carbon is altered in such a manner that the resulting carbon offers enhanced catalytic capability.Catalytic carbon retains conventional carbon’s ability to adsorb contaminants but it also possesses greatly enhanced capacity to catalyse, to promote beneficial chemical reactions. It is by catalytic action that chloramine is reduced. The activated carbon converts chlorine to chloride leaving behind ammonia.  And this is where the catalytic part comes to it’s own, as the ability to retain oxygen enables the ammonia to be oxidised.  Catalytic capacity of carbon is expressed by the peroxide number, which measures the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by the carbon. The faster a carbon will break down hydrogen peroxide, the greater its catalytic activity. The lower the peroxide number the more effective is the carbon to remove chloramines.

The catalytic media is loaded into the four standard filter sizes to fit almost all standard filter housings.    The refillable cartridges include a mesh and foam inset to prevent media loss.
