GC 8x30 is
a virgin activated carbon derived from bituminous
coal. Granular in form, it is ideal for many liquid
phase applications including the removal of organics
from water streams. Its superior adsorptive capacity
and surface area make it particularly attractive
for use with potable water while its size makes
it appealing where low pressure drop is needed.

Caution!
Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing
a severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels.
Confined space/low oxygen procedures should be
put in place before any entry is made. Such procedures
should comply with all applicable local, state
and federal guidelines.
