ProActive™ 8 x 30 Carbon

ProActive™ 8 x 30 Granular Activated Carbon (P/N IT50001) is made from a superior quality anthracite and non-viscous coal. The 8 x 30 mesh carbon is recommended as the choice for whole house and commercial/industrial applications where little pressure drop is preferred. ProActive 8 x 30 Carbon is rated at a 950 minimum iodine number, making it a premium grade carbon for chlorine removal. It is tough enough to withstand frequent backwashing with its abrasion number of 90 minimum.

Warning
For safety and handling purposes, we recommend appropriate protective measures when entering a wet vessel containing granular activated carbon, because wet activated carbon depletes oxygen from air and therefore, dangerously low levels of oxygen may be encountered. In such a case, the oxygen level inside the vessel shall be determined before entering and appropriate protective equipment should be worn when entering, or leave the vessel open until the oxygen level in the vessel is normal.

This information has been gathered from standard materials and or test data that is believed to be accurate and reliable. Nothing herein shall be determined to be a warranty or representation expressed or implied with respect to the use of such information or the use of the goods described for any particular purpose alone or in combination with other goods or processes, or that their use does not conflict with existing patent rights. No license is granted to practice any patented invention. It is solely for your consideration, investigation and verification.
