Coconut shells from coconut trees that are more than 5 years old are selected to ensure thickness and strength.

This catalytic carbon is not impregnated with caustic chemicals used to remove chloramines and hydrogen sulfide H2S from drinking water.

Because catalytic carbons have no impregnates, you won’t have to worry about reduced organic odor capacity or the higher bed fire potential of the impregnated carbons. Catalytic carbon is created by altering the surface structure of activated carbon.

It is modified by changing high temperature gas activation atmosphere to change the electronic structure and produce the highest level of catalytic activity on the carbon to reduce chloramines and H2S in water.

This increased catalytic functionality is far greater than that found in traditional activated carbon. Catalytic carbon is an economical solution that can treat H2S levels up to 20 to 30 ppm.

Catalytic carbon converts adsorbed H2S into sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid which are water soluble, so carbon systems can be regenerated with water washing to restore H2S capacity for less frequent physical change-outs.

The Benefits of Using Catalytic Carbon:

*More effective than conventional carbons; catalytic activity promotes a variety of chemical reactions

*Faster chemical reaction means less carbon and smaller equipment

*Non-Impregnated carbon eliminates worries about exothermic reaction, ignition temperature and toxic disposal

*On-site regeneration lowers operating costs and extends service life *Can be recycled and reused through thermal reactivation
