Jacobi AquaSorb CS 12x40 Granular Activated Carbon – 25 kg
Jacobi AquaSorb CS 12x40 is a high-activity granular activated carbon manufactured from selected coconut shell charcoal by steam activation. Its highly microporous structure makes it particularly effective for the adsorption of low molecular weight organic compounds and chlorinated by-products, while also providing rapid removal of oxidising agents such as chlorine and ozone.
The 12x40 mesh grade provides a practical balance between adsorption performance, pressure drop and backwashing characteristics, making it suitable for a wide range of drinking water, commercial and process-water treatment applications.
