Micro Carbon II

Summary

Product identification

The PHP/AHP Micro-Carbon II Series are filter cartridges featuring granular activated carbon for liquid and gas applications. They offer one-step activated carbon and nominal 3 µm particle reduction.

Features

• One-step activated carbon and nominal 3 µm particle reduction, eliminating problems associated with loose carbon treatment.
• Porous, polyethylene outer shell and polypropylene end caps.
• Choice of low sulphur activated carbon or anthracite-based activated carbon.
• Entire carbon bed exposed to flow while minimizing carbon fines downstream (Liquids).
• Activated carbon absorbs finely dispersed oil, smoke odors, and aqueous mist that penetrates the shell (Gases).
• Inner layers provide an excellent air polishing medium (Gases).

Applications

Liquids

• Reduces organics and particulate from plating, acid, alkaline, and hydrocarbon solutions.
• Chlorine reduction from water with low flow rates.
• Recommended for: Drinking water (Taste, Odor, Color, Chlorine, Particulate, Organics removal), Utilities (Taste, Odor, Color, Chlorine, Particulate, Organics removal), Recirculating Chemicals (Use Pre-filter for Organics and Particulate removal).

Gases

• Reduces chlorine gases, organics such as oil mist and water vapor, and fine dust and scale particles.
• Recommended for: Air (plant, instrument, breathable), Compressed Gas (Taste, Odor, Color, Chlorine, Particulate, Organics, Oil Vapor removal; Use Pre-filter for all).

Operating limits

• Maximum operating temperature: 82.2°C (180°F)

Performance specifications

• Filter grade: 3 µm

Recommended flow rates

Warnings and Notes

• WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• NOTE: These cartridges contain a very small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation, flush the cartridge for a minimum of 5 minutes to remove all traces of the fines before using the water. Run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes, especially if the tap has not been used daily.
• Food and water contact use: Please contact Pall Corporation to verify that the product conforms to your national legislation and/or regional regulatory requirements for water and food contact use.
