CENTAUR® 12X40 is a liquid phase virgin activated carbon that has been manufactured to develop catalytic functionality. The product is unique in that it concentrates reactants via adsorption and then promotes their reaction on the surface of the pores. It is produced from bituminous coal using a patented process.
Although it is not impregnated with metals or alkali, it displays the catalytic functionality of these materials. In most cases, it can be reactivated and does not present the disposal concerns associated with impregnated carbons.
Specific applications include chloramine, hydrogen sulfide, and iron removal from drinking water. This product is particularly suited for use in residential and commercial water filters, for treatment of process water in the bottling and soft drink industries, and for aquarium water treatment.
It combines a fine pore structure for enhanced adsorption of trace contaminants with high catalytic activity for their elimination and is intended primarily for use in liquid phase systems to promote catalytic reactions.
Note - We only stock this product in 1 cu/ft - Factory Sealed Bags. For all 0.50 & 0.75 cu/ft bags, we simply open a 1 cu/ft Bag and divide it by weight, then ship it out in plain, Non-Factory Sealed Bags.
