Liquid Carbon Canisters What are the benefits?
A-series for medium pressure applications
Won't bulge, leak or rust apart. The top is made of heavy gauge domed steel and powder coated for durability. The interior has dual liners and a heavy domed internal bottom. Each has a built in 30 psi pressure relief valve, influent and effluent sample and pressure ports. Inlet and outlet on top. All canisters are pressure tested before shipping. Out performs all other canisters.
A-200 RC840 (Most popular) 10 gpm canister for non potable applications
A-200 RC410 (Foul water? Too much iron or silt?) 10 gpm canister also for non potable applications. This model contains a coarser carbon for less pressure drop and allows more suspended solids to pass through. The carbon has less surface area than the A-200RC840 and provides reduced adsorption capacity. Recommended for turbid water conditions such as excavation dewatering where contaminates have low solubility such as dissolved heating oil.
A-200 VC1240 10 gpm for potable application
A-200 MTBE 5 gpm, for removal of dissolved MTBE in water. A retention time of no less than 10 minutes is important to assure complete removal of MTBE, so flow rates most be kept low. This canister should be used as a polish to (2) A-200RC840 in series. MTBE carbon will only adsorb MTBE if all other dissolved organics are removed first. This is because other organics will replace MTBE on carbon. The mesh size is very small on this carbon to increase surface area.
A-200CA Contains clay anthracite media for removal of free floating oil droplets and sheens in water. Commonly used before other carbon vessels. This can alleviate the need for an oil water separator only if oil amounts are small.
Options
Sample pressure kit Each kit comes with two (2) 1/4" PVC valves, tees and pressure gauges (0-60 psi). Comes pre-assembled and threads directly into the ports on the A-200 top. Makes it easy to check pressure drop across the carbon and to get convenient influent and effluent water samples.
L-series for low pressure applications top of page
Low cost, high quality. Designed for open discharge. 12 psi tested. Plastic lining to prevent rust leaks. 2" inlet and outlet on top. Drain bung on bottom.
L-100 6 gpm canister for non potable applications
L-100CA Contains clay anthracite media for removal of free floating oil droplets and sheens in water. Commonly used before other carbon vessels. This can alleviate the need for an oil water separator only if oil amounts are small.
L-200 RC840 10 gpm canister for non potable applications
L-200 RC410 10 gpm canister also for non potable applications. This model contains a coarser carbon for less pressure drop and allows more suspended solids to pass through. lbs. virgin activated carbon, mesh size 8x40. Adsorption capacity is less than the L-200RC840.
L-200 VC1240 10 gpm for potable application
L-200 MTBE 6 gpm, for removal of dissolved MTBE in water. This canister should be used as a polish to (2) lL-200RC840 in series. MTBE carbon will only adsorb MTBE if all other dissolved organics are removed first. This is because other organics will replace MTBE on carbon. The mesh size is very small on this carbon to increase surface area. Contact time is important so flow rates must be kept low.
L-200CA Contains clay anthracite media for removal of free floating oil droplets and sheens in water. Commonly used before other carbon vessels. This can alleviate the need for an oil water separator only if oil amounts are small.
V-Series for low pressure applications
High quality, low cost air purification canisters. Available in 4 sizes.
Top inlet/outlet arrangement, or raised bed arrangement with side
inlet/top outlet. Raised bed models offer less pressure drop.

The following cfm values are based upon a medium contact velocity of 60 ft per minute. Increasing flow beyond the recommended values will decrease carbon efficiency. Please contact Acqua Bella to discuss specific recommendations.
V-100 130 cfm, 100 lbs. 2" inlet bottom /outlet on top
V-180 170 cfm, 180 lbs. 2" inlet/out on top
V-180RB 170 cfm, 180 lbs. 2" inlet/outlet raised bed for less pressure drop
V-180-4 170 cfm, 180 lbs. with 4" inlet/outlet
V-300 230 cfm, 300 lbs. with 4" inlet/outlet raised bed
V-375 260 cfm, 375 lbs. with 4" inlet/outlet raised bed
V-500 425 cfm, 500 lbs. with 4" inlet/outlet raised bed
Filters made from DOT (department of transportation) drums are popular due to their ease of mobility. Filter drums can be easily dollied in and out of position. Canisters are used in open discharge applications where no discharge valves or other restrictions are placed in the flow after the units.
Acqua Bella Inc. has a complete line of canisters for both wet and dry applications. We deliver our canisters with lift gate trucks by customer appointment. Spent carbon canisters are later exchanged for fresh units upon customer's request. Spent non-hazardous carbon is reactivated at approved reactivation facilities.
