GC 12x40AW

Acid Washed Granular Activated Carbon

GC 12x40AW is a virgin acid washed activated carbon which is granular in form. Made from the finest grades of bituminous coal and then acid washed, it is ideal for many liquid phase applications including the removal of organics from water streams. Its superior adsorptive capacity and low level of impurities make it cleaner than most other activated carbons and gives it longer life expectancy. NSF approved, it is suitable for drinking water and food grade applications.

Caution!

Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing a severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels. Confined space/low oxygen procedures should be put in place before any entry is made. Such procedures should comply with all applicable local, state and federal guidelines.
