This carbon can be used as a complete replacement for sand and anthracite media. FILTRASORB 300-M functions as a dual purpose media providing bath filtration and adsorption. FILTRASORB has been used successfully in drinking water applications for over 40 years. Description FILTRASORB 300-M is a granular activated carbon (GAC) developed by Calgon Carbon Corporation for the removal of contaminants from municipal drinking water. These contaminants include taste and odor compounds such as MIB and Geosmin, organic compounds known to be precursors to disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation, DBP compounds such as haloacetic acids and trihalomethanes, contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), such as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceutical and personal care products(PPCPs), and other targeted organic contaminants. This activated carbon is manufactured from select grades of bituminous coal through a process known as reagglomeration to produce a durable granular product capable of withstanding the abrasion associated with repeated backwashing, air scouring, hydraulic transport, and thermal reactivation. Activation is carefully controlled as measured by the iodine number for effective adsorption of a broad range of high and low molecular weight organic contaminants. The higher density of FILTRASORB brand GAC results in a product with both a greater adsorptive capacity on a volume basis and a longer life through multiple reactivation cycles. FILTRASORB 300-M is designed to comply with all the applicable provisions of the AWWA Standard for Granular Activated Carbon, B604, latest edition, the stringent extractable requirements of ANSI/ NSF Standard 61, and the Food Chemicals Codex, latest edition. 1 Features / Benefits • Calgon Carbon's reagglomerated coal -based granular activated carbons have several properties which provide superior performance in a wide range of applications • Produced from a pulverized blend of high quality bituminous coals resulting in a consistent, high quality product • The activated carbon granules are uniformly activated through the whole granule, not just the outside. This results in excellent adsorption properties and constant adsorption kinetics in a wide range of applications • The reagglomerated structure ensures proper wetting while also eliminating floating material • High mechanical strength relative to other raw materials, thereby reducing the generation of fines during backwashing and hydraulic transport • Carbon bed segregation is retained after repeated backwashing, ensuring the adsorption profile remains unchanged and therefore maximizing the bed life • Reagglomerated with a high abrasion resistance provides excellent reactivation performance • High density carbon resulting in a greater adsorption capacity per unit volume Specifications IFILTRASORB 300-M Iodine Number, mg/g 900 (min) Moisture by Weight 2% (max) Effective Size 0.8-1.0 mm Uniformity Coefficient 2.1 (max) Abrasion Number 78 (min) Trace Capacity Number, mg/cc 10 (min) Screen Size by Weight, US Sieve Series On 8 mesh 15%(max) Through 30 mesh 4% (max) Typical Properties' FILTRASORB 300-M Apparent Density (tamped) 0.58 g/cc Water Extractables <1% Non -Wettable <1% 'For general information only, not to be used as purchase specifications Safety Message Wet activated carbon can deplete oxygen from air in enclosed spaces. If use in an enclosed space is required, procedures for work in an oxygen deficient environment should be followed. 1.800.4CARBON calgoncarbon.com © Copyright 2015 Calgon Carbon Corporation, All Rights Reserved DS-FILTRA30OM 16-EIN-El
