Remove Chlorine, Odour, and Organics with Activated Carbon Cartridges
Skytech Ultrafab Activated Carbon Filter Cartridges use granular activated carbon (GAC) and compressed carbon block technology to effectively adsorb chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), trihalomethanes (THMs), taste, colour, and odour from drinking water, process water, beverage production, and pharmaceutical water systems. Both GAC and carbon block formats comply with NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 standards.
What Are Activated Carbon Filter Cartridges?
Activated Carbon is a highly porous form of carbon produced by controlled pyrolysis and steam or chemical activation of organic materials (coal, coconut shell, wood). The enormous internal surface area — typically 500–1500 m²/g — adsorbs organic molecules, chlorine, and other contaminants from water as it flows through the carbon bed, improving taste, odour, and chemical quality.
Activated Carbon Filter Cartridges
Features and Benefits
-
Chlorine & Chloramine Removal:
Efficiently adsorbs free chlorine and combined chloramines — the most common water disinfectant residuals — to below detectable limits
-
VOC and THM Reduction:
High carbon surface area adsorbs trihalomethanes (chloroform, bromodichloromethane) and other disinfection by-products
-
Taste and Odour Improvement:
Removes earthy, musty, and chemical tastes and odours caused by geosmin, 2-MIB, and chlorine by-products
-
GAC vs Carbon Block:
GAC provides higher flow rate and carbon volume; carbon block provides additional sub-micron particle filtration (0.5 µm) and NSF 53 cyst reduction
-
NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 Compliance:
Both formats tested and certified to relevant NSF/ANSI standards for taste, odour, chlorine, and lead reduction claims
-
Multiple Sizes:
10-inch and 20-inch lengths in standard 2.5-inch OD for universal point-of-use and commercial filtration housings
Applications
-
Drinking Water POU:
Point-of-use under-sink and countertop filter systems for home and office drinking water quality improvement
-
Commercial Beverage:
Coffee machines, ice makers, fountain dispensers, and water vending machine pre-filtration for taste optimisation
-
