SupaCarb CP
SupaCarb CP offers the very best in activated carbon technology. The cartridge is manufactured using a unique sintered carbon that is specifically designed for maximum decolorisation and organic contaminant reduction. It provides far superior adsorption levels compared to other carbon block cartridges.
SupaCarb CP is an extremely economical and effective solution for many common liquid treatment applications where the reduction of color, organics, and other impurities is required. The carbon block is made using a high-purity micro-porous, acid-washed, steam-activated carbon and is particularly suited to pharmaceutical applications.
The SupaCarb CP carbon block utilizes a unique sintering process that combines both granular and powdered activated carbon. This results in the highest available surface area for the adsorption of contaminants. The carbon block is protected by a spun-bonded, pure polypropylene fibre pre-filtration layer, producing a unique high-performance module that offers superior on-stream life.
SupaCarb CP cartridges are manufactured using the latest thermal welding technology, eliminating the bypass commonly associated with adhesive-bonded carbon modules. This results in a robust and durable filter assembly. They are suitable for a wide range of process conditions, including use in the harsh operating conditions encountered in pharmaceutical API plants.
