SupaCarb
SupaCarb filter cartridges feature a choice of rolled felt carbon impregnated media or a superior sintered carbon block. Both are combined with Amazon Filters’ unique spun bonded particulate removal layers, resulting in a genuine dual-purpose element. The SupaCarb RP/XP series offers economy with efficiency for chlorine, odour, colour, and trace organic reduction levels, while the SupaCarb BP series uses a unique sintered carbon technology that combines the best features of both powdered (PAC) and granular (GAC) activated carbon in one cartridge. Both element styles use the SupaGard spun bonded media for the pre-filtration layer and are available with moulded polymer ends for superior sealing and enhanced product performance. SupaCarb provides an extremely economical solution for many common liquid treatment applications.
The construction of SupaCarb RP/XP uses a polyester substrate, unlike many other rolled elements that use a cellulose-based support. This minimises the risk of microbiological contamination, and due to its better compatibility, it can be used in a wider range of chemical applications.
Product Features – BP
- Unique sintered block using both granular and powdered carbon
- Modular construction up to 1017mm (40”)
- Polymer materials meet US FDA Title 21 requirements
The modular SupaCarb BP uses a unique sintering process that combines high-purity powdered and granular carbon, resulting in the very highest available surface area for a 10” cartridge. Superior adsorption and on-stream life make the BP the best choice of carbon cartridges. Equipped with 5µm nominal rated spun bonded polypropylene pre-filtration layers and a full range of welded end caps, SupaCarb is the ideal choice for activated carbon cartridges. Compared with conventional Granular Activated Carbon cartridges, the SupaCarb will not fluidise, channel, or bypass, thereby maximising the effectiveness of the carbon media.
