Application Detail

Catalytic / Chloramine Removal

Specialty catalytic carbon for chloramine decomposition and hydrogen sulfide control in drinking-water systems.

Application overview

Utilities are switching to chloramine, and catalytic activated carbon is the correct point-of-use or treatment response when standard chlorine carbon is not enough.

Chloramine adoption is tied to regulatory pressure on disinfection by-products formed by free chlorine and organics.
Chloramine is more stable than chlorine but harder to remove with standard carbon products.
CATCARB grades are specially developed for water-treatment applications needing faster decomposition performance.

Why the market is changing

Many U.S. water utilities are transitioning to chloramine disinfection, which changes the treatment requirements downstream for residential, commercial, and municipal filtration systems.

Why catalytic carbon matters

Standard granular activated carbon and carbon blocks have limited chloramine capacity at typical flow rates, which is why catalytic media is recommended instead.

How CATCARB works

The CATCARB range is surface modified to rapidly decompose chloramine and hydrogen sulfide while retaining the hardness, surface area, and attrition resistance expected from high-quality coconut shell carbon.
