Calgon (A8056) 12x40 Centaur NDS GAC Catalytic Carbon 1 Cubic Foot Bag (33 lbs)
Product Details
Performance Characteristics
| Phase | Liquid phase virgin activated carbon |
| Primary Applications | Chloramine, hydrogen sulfide, and iron removal |
| Catalytic Mechanism | Adsorbs reactants and promotes surface reactions without metal or alkali impregnation |
| Pore Structure | Fine pore structure optimized for trace organic adsorption and catalytic activity |
| Hardness Rating | High hardness with reduced fines and handling losses |
| Processing | Patented bituminous coal process, acid washed |
| Operating Advantages | Works effectively at low oxidant levels without chemical metering |
Where It Works Best
Centaur 12x40 NDS GAC is engineered for residential and commercial water filtration systems, process water treatment in bottling and soft drink industries, and aquarium applications. Its catalytic functionality allows it to handle oxidation, reduction, decomposition, substitution, and elimination reactions without the safety concerns or disposal issues of impregnated carbons. The media works reliably in systems handling concentration spikes and eliminates the need for chemical addition in many applications. Because it can be thermally reactivated, Centaur offers lower long-term operating costs compared to single-use catalytic media. Compatible with standard GAC filter vessels and backwashing systems designed for 12x40 mesh media.
