Centaur's GAC media is the longest lasting and most powerful carbon media there is. Ideal for removing bad tastes, odors, hydrogen sulfide, rotten egg smell, chlorine, VOC's and chloramines from the water, among many other things.

CENTAUR 12x40 is a unique catalytic activated carbon that can be utilized in the liquid phase for the promotion of oxidation, reduction, decomposition, substitution, and elimination reactions. Specific applications include chloramines and hydrogen sulfide removal from potable, process and other waters and peroxide destruction. The catalytic activity and enhanced adsorption ability makes CENTAUR 12x40 a good performer in other applications such as the treatment of process water in the bottling and soft drink industries and in treating aquarium water

CENTAUR® 12X40 is a liquid phase virgin activated carbon that has been manufactured to develop catalytic functionality. The product is unique in that it concentrates reactants via adsorption and then promotes their reaction on the surface of the pores. CENTAUR 12x40 is produced from bituminous coal using a patented process. Although it is not impregnated with metals or alkali, it displays the catalytic functionality of these materials. In most cases, it can be reactivated and does not present the disposal concerns associated with impregnated carbons.

Product Features:
