( supplied by Calgon Carbon Corp.)Recommended for MTBE adsorption
DESCRIPTION
Filtrasorb 600 is a high grade granular activated carbon manufactured by Calgon Carbon Corporation and optimized for superior performance in the removal of trace level organics from water. This carbon is manufactured from superior grades of bituminous coal to maximize the distribution of high energy adsorption pores in the carbon structure. The amount of high energy pores, as measured by the Trace Capacity Number, directly relates to the carbon's ability to adsorb organic contaminants at low concentrations.
As a high grade bituminous coal based product, Filtrasorb 600 possesses the durability required in many water treatment applications and is capable of withstanding the abrasion and dynamics associated with repeated reactivation, hydraulic transport, backwashing and mechanical handling. Filtrasorb 600 is also designed to meet the stringent extractable metals
requirements of ANSIINSF Standard
61.
Applications
With its enhanced high energy pore structure, Filtrasorb 600 is ideally suited for trace removal applications and offers a significant performance advantage over traditional activated carbon products used in these types of applications.
Specific applications include:
. Removal of MTBE
. Removal of DBCP
. Removal of THMs
. Removal of pesticides & herbicides
. Removal of other organics at concentrations < 1 ppm
. Potable water treatment
. Groundwater treatment
. Ultra-pure water treatment

Safety Message
Wet activated carbon preferentially removes oxygen from air in closed or
partially closed containers and vessels. Oxygen depletion may reach hazardous
levels. If workers are to enter a vessel
containing carbon, appropriate sampling and work procedures for potentially low oxygen spaces should be followed, including all applicable federal and state requirements.
