Catalytic Activated Carbon

Surface-modified coconut shell carbon for chloramine, hydrogen sulfide, and difficult water-treatment contaminants.

Catalytic Activated Carbon
Overview

Catalytic carbon supports chloramine reduction in U.S. drinking-water systems moving away from free chlorine.

Used for chloramines, hydrogen sulfides, hydrogen peroxides, THMs, TCE, PCE, detergents, pesticides, phenols, and taste and odor compounds.
Surface modification enhances the media’s natural ability to chemically change difficult contaminants.
CATCARB is engineered for water-treatment applications requiring rapid chloramine and H2S decomposition.
Common uses
Chloramine reductionHydrogen sulfide removalTaste and odor reductionSpecialty water treatment

Why utilities use it

Many U.S. water utilities have transitioned to chloramine as a more stable disinfectant in response to regulatory pressure around disinfection by-products.

Why standard carbon is not enough

Standard activated carbon filters sized for chlorine removal have limited capacity for chloramine reduction at normal flow rates, which is where catalytic grades become important.

How CATCARB works

CATCARB is surface modified, with particle size and pore structure tuned for adsorption while maintaining the hardness, surface area, and attrition resistance associated with high-quality coconut shell carbon.

Built for chloramine-heavy drinking-water programs
Also suited for hydrogen sulfide decomposition
