Description
Activated Carbon Filter Media absorption:
Firstly activated carbon (nut shell based) media. Adsorption is a process where a solid is used for removing a soluble substance from the water. In this process active carbon is solid. Activated carbon is produced specifically so as to achieve a very big internal surface. This big internal surface makes active carbon ideal for adsorption. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is mostly used in water treatment, it can adsorb the following soluble substances:
- Adsorption of organic, non-polar substances such as:
- Mineral oil
- BTEX
- Poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PACs)
- (Chloride) phenol
- Adsorption of halogenated substance: I, Br, Cl, H en F
- Odor
- Taste
- Yeasts
- Various fermentation products
- Non-polar substances (Substances which are non soluble in water)
Use:
- Chlorine Removal
- Chlorine By-Products Removals such as THMs Bad Tastes and Odors Removal
- Turbidity Removal
- Herbicides, Pesticides & Insecticides Removal Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) Removal

Activated carbon (nut shell based) is used to purify liquids and gases in a variety of applications, including municipal drinking water, food and beverage processing, odor removal, industrial pollution control, and point-of-use filters in the home. Public awareness and the concern about safe drinking water have driven consumers to install point-of-use carbon systems in their homes, further purifying the water that they drink. Many of these home water filters use activated carbon to reliably remove dissolved impurities and disinfection byproducts that can make water taste bad.
What problems does Granular Activated Carbon (Nut Shell Based) solve?
Granular Activated Carbon helps resolve many common water quality issues, including:
- Removes chlorine that causes unpleasant taste and odour.
- Eliminates bad tastes and smells from drinking water.
- Reduces organic contaminants that affect water quality.
- Adsorbs pesticides, herbicides, solvents, and other organic chemicals.
- Removes colour-causing compounds to improve water appearance.
- Protects Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes from chlorine damage.
- Reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in water.
- Improves the taste and quality of drinking water.
- Helps reduce residual disinfectants before sensitive treatment processes.
- Extends the lifespan and efficiency of downstream filtration equipment.
