AquaSorb CS ®

granular coconut shell

based activated carbon
Features and Benefits AquaSorb® CS is a high activity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam
• Extensive internal structure
activation from select coconut shell charcoal. Its enhanced microporosity makes it
• Optimized density
• Highly microporous structure
particularly well suited for the removal of low molecular weight organic compounds
• Maximum hardness and their chlorinated by-products such as chloroform and other trihalomethanes
• Low dust and turbility (THM's). It is also ideally suited for the removal of oxidizing agents such as chlorine
• Excellent adsorption capacity and ozone from process water. An important feature of this material is its superior
• High volume activity mechanical hardness and the extensive dedusting during its manufacture that
• Rapid dechlorination
ensures an exceptionally clean activated carbon product.
• Effective removal of ozone
• Low filtered water turbidity

Typical Applications
• Municipal drinking water treatment
• Residential water treatment systems Point
of Entry (POE)/ Point of Use (POU)
• Beverage production
• Protection of ion exchange resins from
chlorine and organic fouling
