A range of carbon filter cartridges are manufactured using the full spectrum of carbon technology available today, resulting in the continued improvements in performance across the range of three distinct carbon filter categories. To understand how activated carbon functions is not necessary, although How Activated Carbon Works is offered, it is the performance that is of paramount importance and hence correct specification for the application. The primary functions of activated carbon are the removal of chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorinated hydrocarbons and organic impurities whilst acting as a mechanical filter for particulate reduction due to the cartridge construction.
Standard applications, although carbon is used for many bespoke purposes, are numerous and as the adsorption capabilities and capacities are explored further, the employment of activated carbon is increased. The latest technology has led to the carbon block cartridges using natural coconut shell being considered the best all-round performing filter.
